Excellent, wonderful, fellow 300ZX owner! Shame you opted away from the oh-so-80s red leather seats.

FMIC mounted:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Still gotta get a couple more gauges...

Image

Also still gotta swap in the black dash:

Image

Never lonely:

Image

Image

Stainless Steel Braided clutch damper bypass line:

Image

Went to the JY and picked up a 87 turbo trans (R30A, way stronger), as well as a 87 turbo CLSD...and the subframe and suspension crap, which I dont need but it was the same price either way.:

Image

Working on FMIC piping:
Image

Image

Brand new Turbo-Automatic engine oil pump, flows higher volume than the pumps the manual trans cars had. Its also been ported, so it'll flow even more.

Image

New CLSD clutches:

Image

Working on figuring out piping still....

Image

I started painting the suspension components again. Springs are Z31Parts.com Z3Rs (discontinued, 315lb/in) and the shocks/struts are Bilstein HDs.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Weather is starting to get nice again :)

Image

440cc DENSO injectors (from a MK3 Supra Turbo):

Image

And the new engine is about done:

Image

Image

Image

Waiting on the rest of the timing belt stuff, so I threw the timing covers on just to prevent them from getting damaged

Nope, I threw them out. They're heavy as hell compared to the manual cloth seats I have now, and the porno red is hideous.

I plan on driving it...LOL! Its about "done" for now, just waiting on my 60-1 T3/T4 turbo...hoping to make ~400whp this summer.

I follow your thread on Z31performance as well. :)

Looking fine there. :) You're gonna post some vids while rolling i hope. :)

Figured out the piping yet?

I got one of those high flow oilpumps as well. I noticed my pressure dropped when it heated up. Seemed like it was a non original transmitter that really was the problem. Im going to rebuild the gauge holders to mount some Gaugetech gauges instead. Some gauges i can trust. To mount it i will have to remove the oilpan, right?
