stony Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 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. Here is what it looked like when i bought 15 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhm Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 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. . 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!!!

stony Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) cold start-up video. runs pretty good at idle ;> Edited March 14, 2012 by stony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 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!!!! Sounds sucks on this one so beware !!!!

stony Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) SPent all day cleaning up wiring and rerouting stuff that was temp installed. Looking better still needs some work though. just so many wires. Sent the converter off to be restalled today. Hope to get it really close this time ;> Might need to use Nitrous anymore.

stony Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 OBTW i found the damn oil pressure sender.; it was tucked up underneath the intake in the side of the block :blink: :blink: :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Looking sweet bro. It's finally coming together for you after all that hard work. It sure sounds great during the idle walk around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I see your ignitor back there on the firewall, are you running stock coils? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 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? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-8918/ looks pretty straight forward and simple. Also see second link. its a GPS sender for autometers electronic speedo!!! http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-5289/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
