It's so tasteful, and makes your car's ass look like a baby exotic. WANT! What's the front look like?

And that rear spoiler is required to complete the look.

t3ku · 05-05-2009

Like so.

Took me that long to find a decent picture of it.

OptikNERV · 05-05-2009

Ya, if you don't get that, I'll drive to Alabama and Bruce Lee your ass

.

Definitely the nicest kit for Z, IMO.

t3ku · 05-10-2009

Well ok and well....

Got the leather seats out of the 92 and they are installed into the 90.

Now as far as the engine in the 90 goes lol...
I pulled the spark plugs yesterday and wow...um...lol... Chambers 1-3-5 all plugs were burnt and tips were just gone, chamber 1 was saturated in oil. As expected of chamber 1 since it's close to the oil cap.
Next, chambers 2-4-6, chamber 2 was in the same condition was the others, plug burnt beyond recognition and tip gone. Chamber 4 also burnt to hell. Chamber 6... saturated in oil, and a piece of metal came out with the plug... Chamber 6 is gone, pieces of metal are visible on the lifter. Chamber 4, the gasket can be seen...melted and coming into the chamber where it should NOT be in the first place.
I also removed the intake piping in process of pulling the plenum and.... there are black marks firing OUT of the intake and down the intake pipes. Well... I flipped the valves open on the TB's to look inside and the... amount of black and debri inside showed me that the engine has detonated and is a complete loss.

There is no repairing the 90's engine, it must be swapped for the 92's.
That being said I didnt even bother to replace the plugs or coil packs into the 90's engine, it's just history.

I might be able to sell the upper plenum, throttle bodies and maybe the valve covers, but the block is gone.

Anyway, I still have a guy coming down this week to buy some parts off me, apparently he got delayed in georgia at Z1 Motorsports when they discovered one of his chambers failed a compression test. So he wont be down here till wednesday at the earliest.

Thats all for now, I had taken some pictures but forgot to transfer to my laptop from the SD card, so meh.

t3ku · 05-13-2009

Alright some pics of what I got..

What's left of my spark plugs...

Balance pipe, yes those are metal frags inside...

On to better things >_>

Xenon vs Silverstar Halogen, again Xenon destroys it.

Both Xenon.

Strut bar installed.
More later.

Texhnolith · 05-14-2009

But the halogen looks so much better imo

older cars look weird with Xenon imo

yeah, that's true. older cars gotta have the halogen. but I think the 300zx's design is modern enough to go with the xenons.

t3ku · 05-14-2009

Z32s look amazing with Xenon lights..

Halogens

Xenon

Plus the 96 300zx came with HIDs, the older models didnt get that option.

Apparently the video I uploaded to youtube was too long, after it took over 2 hours to process...so I will try again later after some editing :roll:

Tubaman · 05-14-2009

Xenon lights are amazing...

t3ku · 05-18-2009

Video update finally, was forced to use my pos webcam

Tubaman · 05-18-2009

The Jesus Beard is back!!!!

Hehe Nice video

theo · 05-18-2009

isn't it easier to write all that down instead of recording and uploading?
uploading an 8 minute video on youtube must take overnight...

just a thought, para tu convenience

-theo

EVO9MR · 05-18-2009

lol at tuba
anyway what about getting your 92's engine running?
didn't u say that the car thinks its in drive and won't start?

t3ku · 05-18-2009

Actually I can say a lot more in a video than I can by typing, plus I have like 30 people following me on youtube

@Tuba, I can shave it again too...

@Evo, old news is old, that was months ago. Engine ran fine before dismantling.

t3ku · 05-22-2009

Powdercoater just contacted me, he will be starting on my parts soon, he had a rather large order in front of mine.

Pictures soon hopefully...I can not wait, paid for this weeks ago.

Also had someone contact me via email after finding this thread on google... He has a Border Racing TypeII that I wanted, and I'm broke.... -.-

JOSH! Where the progress at?

EVO9MR · 06-01-2009

t3ku · 06-01-2009

lol...

Im still waiting on the results from my powdercoater on the intake and balance pipe.

Nothing else has changed with the Z.

Still currently at work, saving up to get her repaired.

t3ku · 06-05-2009

Update:

Intake pipes are done.

He said it's going to take another day to two days to strip the balance pipe and clean it for powdercoat, more then.

t3ku · 06-09-2009

Intake and balance pipe are done, powdercoater has sent them out and I should have them sometime this week.

EVO9MR · 06-09-2009

good news good news, anything else up?

t3ku · 06-09-2009

Nothing else as of yet, still saving up to fix car. Having trouble finding a competent mechanic that can do the job, apparently the guy that came out that works on Zs, kinda bothered my parents for some reason...

Sigh...I swear im surrounded by idiots here..

Exotic Lover · 06-09-2009

I love how both of your car are going and you seem to take insightful thoughts on what is going on within the car, so therefore you are fixing the automobile in the most careful manner. The visual looks of the car seems by far more better than the original car and the bodykit seems pretty appealing to the eye.

Sadly, we got idiots everywhere which is an sad fact of life.

t3ku · 06-28-2009

Contacted the mechanic that came out and looked at the car, waiting on him to get back with me. Hope to have the car running in a few more weeks.
