Daeron Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Those pictures.... are super-wow. As usual I am at SUCH a loss for words that Wow is all I got. Just, Wow, on every comprehensible level, simultaneously, in three-part harmony. Heck, make it four-part harmony (always did like it better when they had Neil Young in on it.) I must admit, though, that I am still waiting for the complete front bodywork reassembly before this job is "done" to me. Every stage had been Epic, and I wouldn't have done this any other way.. I am enjoying the suspense and like the way you've left it all off until the package is buttoned up.. I'm just expressing anxiety and excitement.. This project was SO intense that the real, really-real, LAST update pictures are all that will really scratch this itch. I gotta say Thanks again for sharing this with so many people.. But in all ways, I keep repeating myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yeah, Very nice picts, So when do you get to put on the hood and fenders? All this fime she's been living w/out them. I know you don't want to scratch or dent anything is why you've been waiting. but the Engine is done right? Can't wait to see her fully dressed.

Blakt Out Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Daeron: Thanks so much for the kindness. I'm loving that other people are as stoked about this as I am. Pharaohabq: Hood and fenders go on as soon as tuning is done... which is coming along well. Here's a video of tuning. Wide open throttle tuning video to come.

Zed lover Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 As many people have already said this build is amazing. You are one lucky man, I would kill to have your car. Please don't take that as a threat...haha. But again your car is amazing, inspirational and great mile stone in the world of z cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakt Out Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thanks Zed Lover! No threat taken! Here are two new videos. More to come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The build looks gorgeous. Let us know what numbers it puts down on the dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakt Out Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 You got it. We're running both a low boost (14-16psi) program and a high boost (22-24psi) program. The low should put down 380 or so, which is my goal. The high... I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakt Out Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Extremely early into the tuning session. 4th gear, shutting down at 4,000rpm on 7psi. Taylor's still getting the air:fuel ratio as flat as possible at 12:1. Everything's going well so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
310z Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 It sounds good and solid. I am assuming that it is an electronic issue that shut it down? It sounded to good for anything else to have shut it down. Minor set back, probably already resolved. I was excited to hear it run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I saw another National Speed video with a 383 V8 powered 240Z in it. Who's car is that? That is also a clean looking build, and race ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garvice Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I am assuming that it is an electronic issue that shut it down? It sounded to good for anything else to have shut it down. Minor set back, probably already resolved. Video looked like the operator was shutting down (I.E. In the video he is only tuning to 4k rpm at this stage), check the throttle plate actuator.

Drax240z Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Can I suggest that one of the first things you do when you get the car back, is line up a professional photographer, and get some high quality shots. It's way better to take those shots when everything is "new" than later on, and you'll want those high quality shots down the road for magazines, etc. A few hundred bucks spent (which isn't much at this point) will immortalize your Z for eternity.

Zed@National Speed Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Jared, I believe Kyle McManus is coming by on Saturday to work some of his magic. I'll accommodate him however he needs (i.e. "move the car here... Turn those lights on... No, turn them off... etc."), I want to see some good shots of this setup so bad.

Blakt Out Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 Awesome. He's one of those that I referred to. I like that kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
