akumazedex Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) heres a bunch of stuff ive done since my last update hella days ago hahaha I got a dash cap from a member on hybridz for $75 shipped. Brand new! WIN! The install Also I got me some spacers! say hello flush! specs, 1.25" front 1.5" rear Before and after And the girlfriend got me this super awesome center console! HELLO CUPHOLDERS!! OH yeahhh... a while back this happened.. like 2 months ago. My buddy got a little excited leaving a car show X_X A hachi did this *facepalm* pick n pull tail light that i had to re-redout, tell me why there were like 7 right side ones and this was one of two lefts... but all things aside its all better now.. kindu hahaha Turbo dizzy and shaft (correct year) Another turbo harness modded for an S30, probably just use some of the connectors as mine has a few missing. And finally the obligatory TURBO valve cover. All in all an epic score today. and now for the goodies. I finally got some spring perches welded onto my struts thanks to troy at ermish racing. My now slightly used tokicos Gound control sleeve ground control spring Installed I took this chance to roll the lip a bit more on the fronts I diddnt like the drop with the ground controls and the spring rate was a bit on the stiff side so I went with another set I had which were shorter and softer. This was the end result And to my surprise I bottom out my lip going dummy sideways down my driveway. WIN! I got around to painting the turbo valve cover. The over used wrinkle paint that was on there was a biatch to remove. thanks to aircraft grade paint stripper the job was much easier. heres how it turned out. And for those of you demanding oics.. well youre in luck you get two datsuns in one post. my buddys 84 300zx turbo. And Mine I know, I got lazy with the plates halfway thru hahaha thats all for now. still need the oil pump and feed lone made for the swap. sooo close!!!! that will be an epic weekend. but all in due time. Hybridz payed off for some goodies. Got Cusco front and rear strut bars and a full set of turbo emblems. I also got around to swapping the valve covers. I like this one sooooo much more than the other one. I also got an MSD blaster coil. my redonculous miss fire at the top end went away!! and i always thought that was because of the injectors.. O_o oh wells fixed now. never actualy thought it would be a coil.. on a side note, im waiting on some rather interesting and hard to get emblems.. but shall will stay a secret until i get them. Ps. i apologize for the blurry pics. getter ones will be up as soon as it stops raining around here. Tein HA's Old an busted Disassembled Painted "grabber green" and helper spring removed. And the finished product Installed, lowered all the way Exhaust clearance Changing out the rear wheel bearings so I figured I clean up the control arms Garage stolen for the weekend And I decided to paint the control arms gm blue Slightly thicker sway bar painted metal cast red and energy suspension bushings Changed out my leaking clutch master after neglecting it for the past year Got some legit projectors, not some eBay crap Installed pic, need some H1 hids now, but light destribution is good aswell as the cut off Got the coolguy tail panel for $30 on hybrid with a broken lower lens Can't see it that well tho Tore it all apart Fixed the crack, where the missing X is, sprayed the lenses red and the backing chrome for better light reflection End result, plate relocated to bumper, look pretty cool IMO Daytime pic DZ start altima push start kit Installed And a video of how everything works, forum won't let me insert video so here's a link http://i1234.photobu...ex/f8bc607b.mp4 I really haven't taken any pictures of th turbo swap since I had a weekend to do it but I'll post up some pics of the finished result. So now everybody is up to speed on the build. Next I gotta swap my driveshaft cuz the u-joints are bad, save up for a better clutch since I'll fry this one with the turbo and on to bodywork. Need fenders and still looking for jdm fairlady280z emblems. Finally got some oic's of the turbo. Proof that I did it!! Muwahaha Oh and I got the side molding back on.. Noicer now. Lookie lookie what I finally got! and thats pretty much everything up to this point. my computer took a dump on me so its kind of hard to post regular updates now so everything is done thru my phone. ill have to get a new one now..

aplyedmind Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Your car has really came along I love it . U got some sick parts going on there? Where did the headlights and jdm emblems come from . I been looking for some emblems like those for a while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akumazedex Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Thanks, emblems are from yahoo auctions jp, but I had a 3rd party in japan get them an ship them for me. Headlights I actually got from my local performance shop, I'm cool with the owner and he had to happen to have a set he was screwing around with.

BluDestiny Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 ugh need to do more work on my new zx shell. Its been sitting on jackstands for like 3 weeks now. All suspension components are currently off being sand blasted and powdercoated. What are the spring rates of the ground controls? and the HA's? I was going to do that, but when I read that the tokico illuminas are only good to like 250lbs or 4.5kg( or they work better at that rate) I thought it would feel weird with "soft" springs up front and stiff(7kg) springs out back. Do you feel a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akumazedex Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 The ground controls I have are 500lb, way too stiff for my taste, the springs I'm using are in the 350lb range. The tokicos don't last with anything stiff, mine are blown already after about 2 years. Maybe I'll get bilstiens next, after I get my struts sectioned. I have no idea what the spring rate on the teins are. Probably around 300 I'd say. Currently it handles pretty good minus the hella short suspension travel up front lol.

Sonethirty Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Doooood. That was completely worth the wait. Nerded out reading and looking at those pics for like 30 mins. lol. What exactly did you search on YJ to find the emblems? Ive been searching for awhile, maybe with the wrong key words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc_was_here Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Your car is coming along nicely! Really enjoyed reading your build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akumazedex Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the support everyone! I searched for "s-130" on yj in the auto category, google translate helps haha. The company that sent them to me was j's garage export if I remember correctly. Be warned tho, you will pay a good price if you go thru them, but they'll source the parts for you an everything. I paid about $250 for the emblems shipped. Hopefully there will be more nerding out soon after I pay off my stupid fixit ticket.. Yeahh Edited August 1, 2011 by battlesquaddatsun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
