ShaggyZ Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yikes! Lookin' great. If you have any stock parts you want to unload on me, let me know. I have a couple parts here and there I'm missing, but you might need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest endeffect0 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 ''Say what!? 1000hp in a 280Z!? Stay tuned. ..somebody’s gonna get hurt.''-Carbon8mag.com I think that just about sums up what were all thinking here.. Are you defiantly set on the six speed now that a mag is quoting you on it? Any idea what your doing for a rear end? should be a killer build.... cant wait to see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANd no im not going 6speed.. i hadnt bought the tranny at that point and i wanted a 6speed..but when it came time to buy a transmition i could only afford the 5speed. For the rear end im using a 3.36 r200 and LSD it or weld it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravRMK Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Wow, that turbo is HUGE! What are the turbo specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Z Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Wow, that turbo is HUGE! What are the turbo specs? its turbonetics new GTK series turbo... its a duel CERAMIC ball bearing (not just regular ball bearings). 76mm turbo with a t4 flange..they said it can do 40psi+, i dont plan to go over 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91_4x4runner Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Isn't that throttle body a bit large? I'd think a smaller one could flow as much as the turbo puts out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Z Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Isn't that throttle body a bit large? I'd think a smaller one could flow as much as the turbo puts out... GOOD EYE..this is true! it cost the same as the smaller versions and it leaves me open to a bigger turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Z Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 ALRIGHT GUYS THE WHOLE DRIVETRAIN IS IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got my clutch from HKS Monday of this week (after waiting FRIGGN 3 MONTHS for it!!!) I got the clutch and all the instructions were in japanese..wooohh good times! Anyways after figureing out the clutch and buying all the bearings and little parts i assembled the clutch and put the r154 on yesterday. Today i got two of my buddies to help me put it in...it took about 4 hours of wrestling and completely cutting off the stock trans months on the tunnel. soooo the motor is FINALLY IN and DOESNT need to come back out !!!! IM SO HAPPY here are the pics i took today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
