The only things that still need to be done are installing the fuel injectors, fuel rail, and turbocharger. Before that I need to sell my old T04S 60-1. I'm going to try to get this finished in the summer of 2008 while home from college. My goal for this setup is 350rwhp with pretty much instantaneous throttle response. Another thing that I've tried to do with this car is make all the modifications as undetectable as possible. The boost gauge, afr gauge, and megasquirt are all mounted in the glove box so if necessary they can be hidden very easily. The intercooler is painted black. Most people just see this as a stock 240Z. I might be able to get more pictures around late December.

The intercooler pipes will be painted black again as soon as I have time. I've also changed the routing for the new intercooler but I don't have any pictures yet. Cosmetics really aren't a concern of mine. I'm also going to get either t-bolt clamps or double up on the clamps I have now.

The day after Christmas and I'm already back out working on the Z.

I shipped the car to Florida so I can work on it often enough to get it going strong. The car runs very well right now on a stock T3 turbo and I plan to upgrade the turbo as soon as I break in the clutch. Hopefully this will be done before next winter. I am happy that the car runs well at this point after not being able to drive it for 2.5 years. At this point, I need to replace the springs and shocks because the rear tires are rubbing on the rear quarters. I plan to take the car to the track by the end of the upcoming summer. Other things that I plan to do soon are replace the passenger side fender, door, and rear quarter panel as well as install early style bumpers and finally get the car painted.
