Slammed68 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 "OK, all I am going to do is pull the motor, install my ARP rod bolts, and clean up some wiring and lines.." FML, and the things I get myself into.. haha.. spent about 3 hours alone just sanding, grinding, removing spot welded brackets, welding up holes, and I haven't put much of a dent in it. The bomb ass can of camo green is a sign of things to come.. haha.. I figured why not give it a hint of flair underneath the hood. Time to perty it up in there a bit. I have to remove the heads to throw my 317's back on, so I'll be cleaning up and painting the block just black, and taking the acc's to the car wash and beating them clean. Hopefully I can spend a good chunk of tomorrow trying to get this engine bay smoothed up, rust free'd, and ready for some rattle bomb.

Slammed68 Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 It's been a really busy past couple days since I decided to clean the engine bay up. It's taken a shitload of time to get it all down to the metal so I could fill some ****, fix some ****, and get rid of some ****.. but it was definitely worth it. I was tired of the ass-black paint I had, so I joined the army! and went with a horrid looking Camo green. Going to do a sort of theme with this, wrinkle black and camo green, should look kinda cool once I get everything back in it, right now it just looks like *******. All in all, the 32 year old engine bay proved to be a mother fucker of a sort - It was Zero fun, Zero. Got some other goodies in, and confirmation that the real good **** will be here tomorrow morning. Supposed to receive coilovers - camber plates - 2 remaining shocks - and the cage, so tomorrow it's time to start g'ntfd with this project. V-band ****, along with some ARP flywheel bolts. And wheel studs, so my lugnuts wont be sticking 3/4" past my studs anymore.. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Painted the engine bay back to black, but got all the suspension on, still need to finish the front struts, but so far it's looking Sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Those rear struts are done? Wow. Good work. Might find it to be a little too low though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 I was trying to restrain myself from posting these here, but here goes. Motor and tranny are not in yet, so the front is still high, but you get the point.. haha.. let the haters hate about the ride height, I think it's sick! Oh and a BIG THANKS!!! to Roodypoochris for getting these wheels made! They fit PERFECT! For all that would like to know, I cycled the suspension travel as far as I could, and the tire never hit the flare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77turboz Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) I like your headers but I figured I would show you how I built mine. Edited February 27, 2010 by 77turboz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NESS89 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh271/datsun350z/Datsun/IMG_3376.jpg[/img] Very nice ride hight, i think I have to go up on mine a little bit, right now its even lower than yours. By the way what size tires are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm running a 255/40-17 in that picture, but my DR's i am putting on are going to be 275/40-17's, and I will probably have to raise the car up a bit to fit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77turboz Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 That stainless crossover setup makes mine look like crap. Mine doesnt have the turbo on, I figure I will drive it without a turbo til I get the urge, then redesign the crossover to put the turbo on. I am in love with your car though. In a week or so, my car is goin under the knife, er, gun.... My bro is gonna start on his Auto Body Final project so he will be replacing the rust panels and paintin it a super secret color. It will be sweet..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModernS30 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hey man, we still need to meet up some time so I can check out the Z in person. Looks like your facility is great to be working on it, speakers in the ceiling and all. You have some really quality work going on there. You do it all by yourself?

turboHLS30 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I love the stance of you car, but don't you think if the car squats it will rip off the flares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I love the stance of you car, but don't you think if the car squats it will rip off the flares? Or worse, rip through the tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 You guys worry way too much! Everything clears fine Here's some more pics, things are wrapping up, I have a fine tuned punch list, and hopes are high to have it done at the end of the month..

SUNNY Z Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 So is the engine bay all wrapped up? I'd like to see a completed picture. Also, what headers are those that you used? Did you have then on your engine when it was N/A? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slammed68 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Nope, still waiting on my hotside of my turbo, it's taken a month to get here so far.. Look earlier in the thread to find info on the headers and how I utilized them. Used to have the sanderson swap headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
