Bought a '72 on eBay. 14th Z I've owned in my 30 years of life.

Immediately took it to Miller Brothers Hot Rod Barn in North Wilkesboro, NC and had it totally disassembled and made, well, perfect.

They've been working on it over over a year now. So, here's where we are. The car is in the middle of assembly. I don't need to buy anything else. It's just a waiting game.

The engine is a Nissan S15 (2003) Sylvia SR20DET turbo motor and is getting:
Greddy intake
High flow injectors
Brian Crower cams and springs
New head gasket n such
Garrett 3071R Turbo
Greddy top mount exhaust manifold (the turbo will be up and in your face)
McKinney Motorsports Aluminum Radiator, Electric Fan, and custom fan shroud
McKinney Motorsports Front Mount HUGE intercooler
Walbro high flow fuel pump
Lightweight flywheel
Stage 3 Competition Clutch and pressure plate
Sylvia S14 5 speed (the 6 speed I have is on eBay. It won’t hold more than 350HP)
AEM standalone engine management system, tuned on the dyno at National Speed for 380-400HP, depending on lag. This setup will push upwards of 500HP if I didn’t care about lag.
The chassis has these mods:
Arizona Z Car billet differential mount
Suspension Techniques sway bars
Arizona Z Car adjustable control arms (all 4)
Nismo Limited Slip Differential
Carbon Fiber custom drive shaft
Rebuilt ‘87 300ZX Turbo drive shafts
Modern Motorsports 5 lug conversion
Arizona Z Car/Wilwood disc brakes all around: 6 piston up front, 4 in the rear, with a proportioning valve hidden at the old choke lever site on the console.
Motorsport Auto Quick Steering Knuckles
Motorsport Auto adjustable sway bar end links
Arizona Z Car coilovers. Fully adjustable.
Arizona Z Car camber plates (check out the install!)
CCW Classic custom 3 piece, 17” wheels
Michelin Pilot Sport Tires

The interior is going back perfectly stock. By ‘perfectly’, I mean that every piece of the interior. EVERY PIECE, has been bought from new, most from Cannaday. I also bought a new dash, all vinyl, and seat foam. The original wood wheel is being restored right now.
Should be good. Could possibly be driving it by Thanksgiving.
I hope you guys like looking at this as much as I do.
