DatsunBoy77 Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 The weather is my excuse to. That freakng wind chill keeping in colder than 20 below for a week hasnt even made me want to look at my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKDGabe Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I wish the weather was my excuse! I'm broke right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETEW Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Even though its been cold I'm trying to get a little done here and there. The Limited slip rear should be in by the end of the weekend and the brakes completed. I then have to go to my friends house to finish putting the SDS system in. Hopefully by spring I will have a turbo car running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheelman Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I have several excuses for very little progress on the Z. 1. Had to do a brake job on my truck. I hate drum brakes, they will not remain on the Z. 2. The garage is not heated and it has been way to cold. 3. Had to deal with large amounts of snow at the apartment building I own. 4. Rebuilding the bathroom in one of my units. New linoleum and tub-surround. Not difficult just time and money consuming. I have made some progress though: 1. Removed exhaust mainfolds from LT1, found stripped hole. 2. Cut rusted areas from firewall and battery tray area on passenger side. 3. Started removing undercoating so I can expose bare metal to weld patches onto in wheel well and firewall. Also going to extend frame rails to back of car and install sub-frame connectors. 4. Stripped more paint from engine bay. 5. Collected more parts: R200, half-shafts and aluminum bell housing. I guess I have made more progress than I realized, it just doesn't seem like it because I've avoided spending any more time than I have to in the garage lately due to the low temps. Ken W.

Drax240z Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Not much going on with mine, the shop is taking up much of my time. - Halfway through mounting the Recaro's, should finish those on Sunday. - Just barely started on the cage install, more to come on Sunday too. - Re-wiring job is 10% done, needs to wait for other things. - Polished & ported intake is about 60% polished and 90% ported. - New big NPR isn't here yet. - No intercooler piping to speak of yet... sold my old stuff and the little NPR as a package. - Body work/paint prep hasn't startd yet. - Walbro fuel pump, 440cc/min injectors and new fuel rail are all ready to be installed. I've got about 2 months to do all the above.... joy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
