280zjoel Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hey Guys, not much for an update but i did do some work on my harness today. Finally had some free time to get some work done on it. Here is a teaser video of me driving the car about a couple months back, before the harness decided to fry itself. The car runs great, even in this video, i was a tooth off timing but the car still drove amazing. After setting the timing right the car would brake traction in first gear even though i have 9.5'' wide wheels with 275/45/zr17 tires.

Perfect240z Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So is the car finished? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zjoel Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 So is the car finished? Well... um not really. This last year has been difficult financially so the Z has been on the back burner for awhile. I just moved, and i get the whole garage to myself for the Z so I will have some new updated soon.

280zjoel Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hey Guys, Just though I would let everyone know that the project is NOT dead! I will have an update really soon with the car, ive been really busy lately. Actually funny story, my RHD conversion most likely will landed me a job doing RHD conversions on Big Rigs that are going to be exported out of the country. That just means more money for the Z!

Autismisakiller Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Anymore news of the build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zjoel Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hey Guys! This Project is NOT dead. Just waiting on funds, the car is mostly stripped down right now for paint. Hopefully I get it painted in a month or so and post pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly-s30 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Cool build, that was a BIG job! Im keen to see this come through, yay not dead! Im in the process myself of doing the same conversion. Would it be too much to ask to measure the angle which the engine slopes transversely? Im struggling to find any rock solid info on the sr20....only found a throwaway comment on a miata forum which was "about 15 degrees". Also what are your measurements from firewall to the back of the block? iv got 100mm, and the engine mounts are pretty much on top of /inline with the TC buckets, is that the same for you? Cheers Darius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

280zjoel Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hey Guys! The project is still not dead, just kinda laggy. I finally sent the z over to my brothers shop to finish up the body work and paint the z. The color I ended up going with was 350z pearl white. So as soon as he gets around to painting it(might take a while) I will post pics and hopefully get it going on the road. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
