V8INtheZ Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Update: The drivetrain is in its final (I hope anyway) resting spot. I have a whole bunch of pictures, but have yet to get them onto the computer. Next thing on the list is to get all the wiring done, should be mostly finished this weekend. Its going pretty smooth so far so Im waiting for something to go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 you certainly seem to be achieving the goal of building your hybridZ quickly.. now lets hope it is as quick as it has been in the building! bloody ironic, from "V8intheZ" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 of course i will want as much info and specs you can get me.. pm what you can please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Woww, Im really dragging my feet. I will have pictures uploaded tonight when I get off of work. There were some complications with my last batch of pictures, so I will retake them with my own camera. I will include pictures of the "finished" engine mounts, engine location, transmission location, and the oil pan location. Any other requests before I get home?

V8INtheZ Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Ok, pictures are up on my photo bucket page. http://s133.photobucket.com/albums/q47/turborscapri1984/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Very nice looking... Love how that fits in the bay. One question though what are you doing with the car that you pulled to motor out of? If you are parting it out I sure could use one small part....

sweetleaf Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Looks good, hopefully you'll have it on the road soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks guys I took the engine out of a car from Picknpull for 70 dollars. I have a bazillion 2.3 Turbo parts though, what do you need? I have 2 Turbo Coupes, 2 Turbo Capris (83'+84') and now this will be another 2.3, so I have been collecting parts for a few years now. I rarely let something get passed me. Anyway, Im off to get started on installing the wiring harness. I pulled it apart and fixed some splices and junk, new tape and loom. Should go pretty smooth, although I cant find my mini-starter right now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I need the fuel sending unit that goes in the fuel tank. As of right now my car does not tell me how much fuel i have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hmm, I will have to look around for a fuel sender. I now have the wire harness installed and all figured out. I still need to do some minor things like hook up the starter, but it should be cranking and sparking tonight. I have to wait on my next check so I can buy a fuel pump, intercooler, and piping so it should be running soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZZero Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 If you are interested I have on of the isuzu npr intercoolers, a common upgrade to the overhead intercooler, wich I also have in case you might be interested. I was planning on dropping a 2.3 into my 84 300zx... Until it got hit by any F650 friday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Ouch, that always sucks. Sorry to here that, hope you are alright. I am going to buy one of those cheap intercoolers from ebay. Its hard to beat a FMIC and piping for under $200 bucks =) I have a volvo, and a saab fmic on a couple of my cars and they work pretty well.

Those stupid oversized pickup trucks are getting WAY out of hand in palm beach county, I know that much... 50+ inch tires, headlights were over 72" above the ground, this guy got a MAJOR ticket or six, and he is STILL driving the truck. About a week after this picture was taken in front of my work, this same truck flew past my buddy down a two lane residential street going like 60. And that little graphic, right at eye level below the doors?? It says "Size Matters" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you he had to ride his horse to get into that truck. HAHAHAHA Like Shrek says "maybe he's compensating for something" hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 You should be able to sue him. The fact that he got tickets for a Vehicle that is not considered Road legal with those mods should bolster you claim. Can you say new Z31??

Daeron Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 sorry, that was another truck, not the one (i dont THINK) that tagged ZZZero. My apologies for the confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Wow, I think I could drive under that thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8INtheZ Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Spent this last weekend buying parts, some of which I dont need, but couldnt resist! Got a few spare turbos and some front Z31 hubs so I can start upgrading my brakes and put some new tires on the car. Im swapping to 5 lug cause I want some 16" mesh wheels for the Z, and they are pretty hard to find and pricey when you do. Plans for this next weekend 1/5-1/6 are to work on my fuel system. I should get my FMIC and piping in the mail by the end of next week. My goal is to have the car atleast running by the end of January. Its sort ok like a new years resolution thing.
