Simple

One of the S30 bloggers (InZane240) that I've been following for a while has posted stance pics.

I love this car.






I can't wait until I post my first cruise pics...

Congrats man!
Wish I was on the left side so I could catch a ride.

Mad Busy

Sorry I've been so MIA with build progress.

Heres some pure ZX sex to make up for it.

New toys!

As if I need anything to further sidetrack my project. :)

From Dirty S30


So to make a long story short, a friend of a friend's father had this motor kicking around for years. He sold the house it was in and couldn't bear to see it get thrown away.

I was the lucky knucklehead to get it.

The story goes that it was built as a racing L24 motor.
Block was bored .030" over, 260z rods, 10.5:1 raised dome forged pistons, 3/4 Cam, and fresh valves and competition springs. All fully balanced and machined.

It also came with dual Weber downdraft carburetors with manifolds, and a 6-2 header. I say 6-2 because the 2-1 part is missing.

Supposedly when this motor was assembled the rods were installed backwards meaning the oil feed holes are on the wrong side.

I'm not sure how they know or why it was done like that, but I am going to take it all apart and figure it out!

I will post more pics later as this project will to take a back seat while I'm prepping my car for paint.

I Heart TOSCOs

Saw it, loved it, need to play it.



LOVED IT!

I acquired the live action Wangan Midnight movie that was remade in 2009 about a year ago and finally got around to watching it.

I gotta say I really really liked it.

I would be sure it was just because I'm such an S30 fan boy, but my girlfriend liked it too!


The best part is that they didn't wreck a 240z for the junkyard shot. They used a busted ass 2+2. Had me worried for a while though, the main character was in fact an S30.

Now I cant wait to get to Fun World for some Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune!



If you listen to this whole song your head will explode.




Fan boy status achieved.

Grabbed a seat on the backorder list for the Cusco Strut bars. MSA stated approx 1 week wait for the fronts and the rears were in stock.

Still contemplating going with the Ground Control setup or the Beta Motorsports offerings.

John from Beta is extremely knowledgeable. Every time I read his posts I have to stare at them for a while before they completely sink in.

This is him:

Bodywork Sucks

I'm just gonna run paintless.

If Bugatti can do it, I can do it.



Bugatti Veyron all metal and carbon fiber two tone with no paint.
