'83 took a really long nap.

A little history on the Z. My dad bought it for my mom in hopes of keeping her from buying a Mitsu 3000gt. I inherited it in 1996. In June of 2005, with 271,000 miles on the clock, I decided it was time for a refresh. A refresh turned into a rebuild, and I got bogged down by a severe case of the "while I'm at it" syndrome. After several starts and stops, a new house, and a new baby, I've put my nose to the grind stone and it is time to get the thing on the road.

 

A few pics through out the years:

Engine is the original block with new flat top pistons, ARP rod and head bolts, N42 head. Going to run a Z31 computer with Nistune.

 

A few of the new parts that are going into the Z:

An unforeseen problem of taking more than 5 years to do a project.
