I found some before pics from 10+ years ago of what the red (now orage) Z used to look like before surgery.

 

The first year it was in alaska after initial building it in japan.

Welcome home, Stony. Glad you made it back safe, and thank you for your Service.

 

The red car is looking BAAAADD! 9 years is a long time....can't wait to see that monster run!

 

Good luck at the strip.

Thru some water and gas in the Z today and to my surprise, it fired right up. The only issue i had was a small trans pan leak ( I have been putting off) leaked all the trans fluid out on to the trailer floor :(.

 

Put a Qt in and backed it out of the trailer into the garage. :D. Now i just have to look it over and make a to-do list. One of the top things is to get it tuned. Its running VERRYYYYY rich right now because of the altitude. My eyes were burning after 20 seconds!!!

Ok got the gauges installed, wide band and boost controller working. Still need to install the oil pressure and temp sensors. Need a drill and tap, and some motivation. Also need to install the trans temp sensor and all gauges will be done.

 

Trans needs to come out so i can fix a pan leak and clean it up. Then i need to finish up the nitrous kit wiring and clean up the rest of the wiring. The list is getting smaller!!!!

The ignitor is actually going bad. When it gets hot it drops a cylinder. Putting it back there keeps it cool and i haven't had a problem with it since. one of these days need to get another one. Running splitfire coils.

 

On a side note anyone running the tach pickup for rpm signal in this link?

Also see second link. its a GPS sender for autometers electronic speedo!!!
