slownrusty Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Well here it is guys....been working away almost every free moment on it. I have driven the car about 10miles and its incredible and sounds VERY angry with the cam and added compression (the car not me). The boost is set low (4-5psi) right now for the initial break in, but based on how it feels I am confident that this car is quicker than my 2900lb - 911 Turbo that is sitting about 425hp. About the car: I rescued it from a banker in Denver 8years ago, it was rusty and rough but stock and "all there" right down to the stock Hitachi cassette deck, everything works on the car. It has improved every year I have had it. There is still lots of little things to do and bugs to work out, but its fairly presentable and I was anxious to share with you guys. A quick run down on the Engine: 3.0L Displacement LD28 Diesel Crank 240Z rods JE Pistons 8.1: 1 compression Diamond Like Coating (DLC) on the wrist pins Swain coated piston domes and exhaust & combustion chambers Whitehead Performance Ported and Polished P90 (non-hydraulic) HKS 2mm Head Gasket Web Turbo Grind Cam ARP studded bottom end ARP Head Studs ARP flywheel bolts Arizona Z-Car Radiator Arizona Z-Car Turbo Oil Pump Corky Bell Fabricated Intercooler (custom made) 2.5" Intercooler Piping Perma-cool Oil Cooler (-10 lines) Flex-A-Lite twin Electric Fans thermostatically controlled Clutch Specialties Clutch (custom made) Fidanza 240mm Flywheel Brand new genuine Nissan Borg Warner T5 Custom made Intake Manifold South Florida Performance Exhaust Manifold Garrett T3 / T4 Turbo TiAL Blow Off Valve and 38mm Wastegate 67mm BMW 735i Throttle Body 3" Mandrel Exhaust Lots of Autometer Gauges. Hand built coilovers by myself Soon: Arizona Z Car Willwood brake conversion The front spoiler was imported from Japan and a very unique piece that took ALOT of messing to fit it. The Hood is a special (what I consider one-off) from John Coffey - Beta Motorsports and is an 8lb Carbon Fiber unit, its complete, I will photograph it soon. The car should be capable of 400+whp and will be set to run 18psi on a Haltech E6X very soon (after break-in). Many thanks to all of you on here for your support, help and assistance during my build. Folks like: Greg Whitehead, Tony and Mike from Whitehead Performance My bro Paul Brizal Ron Tyler, Ivo Jeff Priddy, Garrett TonyD, Z-Gad Guy, Helix Joel Soileau, Wigen-OutS30 ProXlamus (Ryan), 1 Fast Z Braap (Paul R), TimZ 280ZForce (Justin), Big Phil 240Hoke (Austin), jgkurz (John K) Bernadd, 240ztt (Joe) Hughdogz (Hugh H.), Vinh Gabe, Clifton R KTM (Bo) sorry if I missed anyone. The pics... Enjoy and regards - Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4xwellmurd3r Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 so, are you going to put on some sort of bumper detail once you get the hood fitted on? it looks pretty damn nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Wow, really really nice. Super clean, I love it! You did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayolives Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yasan...........Nice job. If it runs half as good as it looks, it's a winner. Too often the zx gets a bad rap but you have shown us again just how nice they can be made. I hope you will add the completed car pictures to this thread. Again, nice job. I really like your car.

woldson Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Beautiful ZX!!!!! Very clean work! Is it possible to get a futher away side shot of the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 Looks good. it looks amazing! I hope to have my car to look just as beautyfull as your ZX! Many thanks!!! so, are you going to put on some sort of bumper detail once you get the hood fitted on? it looks pretty damn nice Yes the front bumper will go back on the car fairly soon. Thanks for your compliments! Wow, really really nice. Super clean, I love it! You did a great job. Gotta keep it clean, that is my philosophy building cars! To me all the car really needed was more power (big grin) different wheels, a tougher stance and a front spoiler. Yasin...........Nice job. If it runs half as good as it looks, it's a winner. Too often the zx gets a bad rap but you have shown us again just how nice they can be made. I hope you will add the completed car pictures to this thread. Again, nice job. I really like your car. I think the ZX has always had incredible lines, its just what you do with it, to enhance it, a little vision is needed to improve on the factory. The car should run Twice the hp better than stock with ease. WOW! Good job man! what ecu? Beautiful! Can't wait to see completed pics and some numbers! I have the very same front spoiler! It WAS a major pain to fit right. that is one beautiful car! Looks amazing! Thanks for the compliments guys!! I appreciate it! Looks great. We need some video. Video coming sooooon! Probably in one week. Looks amazing! Invested??? 18K ish??? I P'm'd you back...BTW...I am not counting anymore how much has been spent on the car. I love the period correct-looking "Turbo" decals on the rocker panels The car is stunning and beautifully done. Nice work! Davy Thanks Davy! A good portion of the decals are hand painted when I had brand new rocker panels made for the car, as they were no longer available from Nissan as a part number, and I wanted to keep them, I think it looks very cool too!! You did an amazing job. Absolutely beautiful. Cant wait to see some more pics. I really wanna see that hood. Keep up the great work. Kyle Thanks Kyle!! Hood pics coming up! I want to see John Coffey's reaction to it! Stunning Yasin!!The wait was well worth it Thanks buddy, you were an inspiration to me! Looks amazing! Nice job man! Did you use the Corbeau seat brackets or make your own? I am using their brackets and they sit too high. Im 6'1" and I have to slouch a little to not stick out through the t-tops! LOL Guy Guy - Thanks buddy. I am using the Corbeau brackets and my head is VERY close to the T-Tops, I am 6'0". WOW Yasin!!! looks beautiful man!! YOu have done such a great job on this S130.. I cannot wait to see some video of her! Many Many thanks Gabe, Video coming soon bro! CONGRATS. Job well done. Thanks Scottie! Great to pull her down from the jack stands and take her round the block a few times! Thanks to all for your feedback and supportive comments! I have a few things that I have to still powder coat and I need to sand and paint the battery tray tonight. Regards - Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
