1 fast z Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Here are a few shots of the fairlady after I got her together and we drove 500 miles one way to the MSA show, and autocross. As for the autocross, it needs a LITTLE bit more suspension work on the front to get it where I want it. I used to not be a fan of 2+2's but I gotta say for trips it sure is nice having that extra 12 inches or so, hehe. You KNOW you own a z car, when you have to do this, to make it on long trips, when everything doesnt seal right yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse OBrien Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Good god that's a clean Z! Really, it looks beautiful, especially that simple, pure valve cover. I'd love to see some videos from the autox though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 My wife and I made it to the show on Sunday for about two hours. I spotted your car and explained to a couple gawkers what it was. You must have been off getting a sandwich at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmaster Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 that car is awesome...I never seen a twin turbo on a z before< is that custom, or can you buy a kit? I would love to own a right side driver too. That car is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannyvig Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Let me know about the pavs. I was going to try to check out Daves (AZC) new ride on saturday and maybe mosey on over to andys place to check out the new project. But the Pavs would be an awesome way to end the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Pavs would be an awesome way to end the evening. Daves car isn't finished but is at his house. I just talked to Andy and he wasn't sure if he is coming back this weekend or next weekend, maybe he'll post up. There is a NASA event this weekend so I won't be at the Pavillions.

Devil-Z Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Good God! I think I just got wood! That is hands down the hottest 2+2 I have ever seen! Freakin' awesome! Nice job on the head. I assume that's on an L-series block? Nice work. Those are huge turbo's, much lag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 I can hit 15 psi in first gear with those turbos. It does it at 6800. So its not TOO bad for big turbos. I actually wont be at the pavs either. I forgot I got turkey hunting this weekend . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris240zTurbo Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Car looks AWESOME! good luck with them damn turkeys, I spent the last two weekends in a blind and saw a lot of birds, but never got a clean shot, last sunday at 8 p.m. just as I was packing up to leave probably 40 turkeys came to roost in a huge oak tree maybe 75 yards from me, yep, as soon as stepped out of the blind, there they all go!!! go shoot one for me, I owe 'em! your tape job could have maybe saved me some brain cells over the years. ZCON 2002 trip from Houston to San Antonio in 100* heat comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Wow you made a 2+2 and the stock front fascia look super clean and badass. Nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well, with some really bad news, I snapped a upper timing chain today, snapped off both snouts of the cams, bent two sets of valves. I have learned my lesson to NOT use junkyard timing chains. I had every intention of changing that old KA chain to a new one, because I never knew how many miles were on it, but now I waited too long. So I will now be taking the head off, and replacing a bunch of crap. Just sucks cause there is ALOT of work in those cams, and it is not like they are everywhere. Yea so a pretty bad day actually. Luckely, it was at an idle, so no block damage was done. I just drove over a thousand miles, racing in another state, etc. And it breaks an eight of a mile from my shop at a stop light!!!!!!
