Ross's PIC HEAVY Z32 TT Build - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

rossttz · 03-13-2011, 12:42 PM

I thought i'd share my build with everyone. It's most def. in progress...

First and foremost, I'd like to thank Greg @ SpecialtyZ... he's been a saint to me throughout this.

Background- My father bought this car new in 1990. He drove it until he died in 2000, and around ~2002 my mother gave the car to my cousin. The cars condition deteriorated to an extent, and after selling my 2008 VW GTI and picking up a Tundra, I decided I was ready to take on the build of a monster.

Not gunna go into great detail, just pics. The motor had a terrible knock but it went away, i'd think due to sticky lifters or something along those lines... got some fresh oil into the car and it's gone.

Goal: 400+whp/93 oct & 500whp/q16
Weekend car w/ excellent suspension & stopping power

Anyway, pics.

The good stuff...

Time to get wrenchin...

What the car needs as of now-
MS Manifolds
X pipe
Paintjob
Fix some electrical/power steering issues
Tires

I havent diagnosed any brake/suspension issues yet.

What does he have now? I recall someone mentioning a guy in town with the car you mentioned, I cant remember what he has now

EDIT- I think his name was billy? I could be wrong..

Love Z cars glad to see someone building up a nice one.

NismoTuner21 · 03-22-2011, 01:22 PM

Looking good man! I'm selling my ARC BOV's and Zemulator if you're interested

Also a Mishimoto rad and some other stuff.

PM me if interested.

rossttz · 03-22-2011, 11:53 PM

I need to remember to come over here once in a while and update!

Plenum pull... if anyone has ever done one on a Z with no EGR delete or water line bypass you understand my pain.

Time to mount these monsters-

Buddies helping me out-

Little dremel work, all stock IC's and pipes removed.

Turbo pipes on.

Calling it a day. Tomorrow- mounting up the I/C's and playing jigsaw puzzle with the piping, as well as EGR delete (partial)

Future_gohan · 03-23-2011, 12:31 AM

my first z I had to pull and reinstall the intake plenum with the water lines all connected and then reconnected them all. Sucked SOOOO bad.

bardabe · 03-25-2011, 11:13 AM

wow, aside from mine and Edgar's Z this is probably the only other Z on zilvia being done right. My Thumbs up to you sir! good shit.

The car has alot of sentimental value so half-assing isn't in the picture.

Had to delete the carbon canister and fight with couplers and pipes for a while but i'm satisfied with the end result-

Everything is clamped down now.

I accidentally broke my det sensor sub harness when I pulled the plenum... so the next project is to put a new one in without disassembling the entire car..

rossttz · 03-28-2011, 05:05 PM

Few more of the whole system done-

Wont be needing this..

Needed to dremel the bracket shown... clearance with the 2.5" setup is alot tighter.

rossttz · 04-18-2011, 12:51 PM

Things are moving along.

With the help of a 3ZC member, 120k is done and plenum is back on.

Getting trailered to another members house tomorrow for clutch/fly/exhaust.

JeeBus · 06-08-2011, 05:26 PM

techtonic1985 · 06-19-2011, 10:08 AM
