[Z31NA2T]

I'm new here, can't wait for this game! Heres some pictures of my '86 300ZX.

Paid $1000 for it. Its not my first, I have quite a few more but I'm not going to post about them, right now atleast.













Painted the spoiler and some trim:


With some Mitsu Conquest wheels:













And now 350Z wheels:














Had a cracked exhaust manifold, had to tear the intake manifold off to get to the exhaust crossover behind the engine







Acadiana Sports Car Orphanage Plenum Spacer:



Wideband O2 Sensor for use with my wideband controller:



DSM 450cc injectors on stock Z31T Fuel Rails:





Acadiana Sports Car Orphanage Solid Motor Mounts:



Spare Engine for $175:

Looking good! Any plans on restoration on those leather stools?

Looks like a great project car! What are your plans for it?

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

FMIC mounted:











Still gotta get a couple more gauges...



Also still gotta swap in the black dash:



Never lonely:





Stainless Steel Braided clutch damper bypass line:



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.:



Working on FMIC piping:




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.



New CLSD clutches:



Working on figuring out piping still....



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









Weather is starting to get nice again



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



And the new engine is about done:







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.

Looks like a great project car! What are your plans for it?

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?
