Nice. I did removable core support on the S13.5. Your hardware setup looks a little more boss however. It's funny... My hatch is also 8 years in the making and its pretty much in the same state yours is currently in (completely stripped).

Thank you for the quality of work and parts. Keep it coming!

***CrimsonRockett*** · 08-17-2015, 07:00 AM

Back home.

Now, starting the prep work for paint (finally).

CamryOnBronze · 08-17-2015, 07:52 AM

Wow, don't know how I missed this! Looking good sir. Making me miss my Endless brakes. :/ lol

Juan@Fontananissan · 08-17-2015, 10:06 AM

Car is looking great Johnny, really looking forward to your finished product.

Cisco357 · 08-21-2015, 01:07 AM

Loving this build man. Really excited to see it done.

TheRealSy90 · 08-21-2015, 02:55 AM

Any chance you could get another set of plates to weld under the core support? I'd like to make mine removable like that.

Everything was hand made by Matt at Street Faction.

I'm sure you can contact them directly for something like this.

The plates are welded in place with a nut welded on the underside.

Posted this in the picture thread.

My little find of the day. '74 Datsun 260z with 50k original miles. Last registered in 1986. Repainted only once by the owner in the 80's, but the original color is a super nice orange.

Now I have 3 cars to work on.

Haha

R3VO 3VOM · 08-21-2015, 11:20 AM

Love your red hatch. It's what inspired me to get a hatch all those years ago (meaning like 2. LOL).
But really love the 260Z (I have a '76 and a '77 S30 myself). The bastard child of the S30's. Too old to be a 240Z yet not new enough to be a 280Z. A lot of unique 260Z parts. '74 must be nice for no smog in cali though.
What are your plans for it? Just light restore or full on craziness?

collegekid · 09-29-2015, 10:38 PM

I feel you entirely on family and the way you approach building your cars.

I just realized that I didnt buy my engine from the Spec I thought it was.
Mine came from Richmond virginia. I swear I spoke to some guy named Sam and thought it was you.

Apex Eight · 09-30-2015, 06:58 AM

Love the Z! Nice find

Heywood Jablomie · 09-30-2015, 11:19 AM

Normally I hate when people hack up their core support, hated when I did it to mine for sure, but that is really nicely done! Might want a strut bar, My front end felt loose after I dicked around with the core support.

Reece · 09-30-2015, 09:09 PM

Love this build. Post some pictures of the red hatch on XR4Zs if you can!

***CrimsonRockett*** · 10-01-2015, 08:11 PM

Sorry guys, been really busy with work lately and haven't had a chance to update this.

Body shop is all lined up. They're pushing out a few cars to get mine in.

I will be updating this with pictures soon.

*Initial Drift* · 10-02-2015, 10:25 AM

Any specific reason for doing the removable core support? Easier engine pulls?

***CrimsonRockett*** · 10-02-2015, 10:37 AM

I do plan on having a lift installed on my next house, but figured for now it would help make things easier. Avoid damaging the core support during engine removal and also avoid scratching up the firewall with the transmission.

xitsalgin · 10-02-2015, 04:02 PM

Looking good

boost infested · 10-02-2015, 04:19 PM

Very nice!

tricky_ab · 10-02-2015, 06:18 PM

I'll be watching this one for sure... This is going to turn out to be quite the solid build

da_crew10 · 10-03-2015, 10:25 AM

I need to get on here more often. Didn't even know you still had this thing. Bump for a zilvia O.G.

TurboTiger · 10-06-2015, 11:55 AM

Wow, this is going to be an impressive build. I really hope builds like these will inspire people to go this route vs the missile car build.

***CrimsonRockett*** · 12-12-2015, 02:21 PM

Late updates as always.

Final test fit on the aero and exterior panels before it gets dropped off for paint.

Sneak peek at my new wheels this Tuesday.

KiLLeR2001 · 12-12-2015, 02:36 PM

LMGT4's <3.

Close, but no. Still on the hunt for that rear pair.

rawgarage · 12-12-2015, 10:58 PM

Dude I literally just bought pedestals to get my washer and dryer off that height....

CamryOnBronze · 12-14-2015, 07:05 AM

This kind of makes me miss OEM aero, haha. I am still looking forward to this thing coming together!

jdm2191 · 12-14-2015, 02:34 PM

Glad to see your back at it

***CrimsonRockett*** · 12-14-2015, 07:30 PM

Obligatory "Type-X + TE37 starter pack".

17x9 +0, 18x10.5 +15

Still keeping the 17/18 stagger.

Massaging the fenders a bit this week before paint. Will be adjusting height and dialing in camber to get the fitment all squared away.

OC94S14 · 12-14-2015, 08:50 PM

Subscribed, I love where this build is going.

killer240 · 12-14-2015, 10:08 PM

oooh that was your shell at street faction...

lovdrifting52 · 12-16-2015, 11:16 PM
