I was getting ants in the pants to put another car together after getting the Forester done last year. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Z32 2+2. One day i got a call from a radom dude who had just bought a 2+2 TT swaped car and as he was driving it home it blew a headgasket. He wanted to know if I would trade him a VGDETT long block for his other Z32, I saw the car and jumped on the deal. It was a bone stock 94 Z32 with just a TT swap and a fucked up leather interior. The before pics are on the other computer should load them up tomorrow. It needs a shit ton more things but works been busy.
So far;
R34 brembos F&R
Tien Flex
Lowenhart 19x9 +29 19x10.5 +25
Kouki Taillights
All brand new Leather interior

Its a EX Cali car so all the outside plastics where fucked up. I bought all new trims and anything else that was black and plastic on the outside of the car.

This isnt even a build thread. Thread title was great... Thread was a massive let down.

Clam down there is more coming. I started working on the car November 2011.
Well what was going to be just straighting the front end and painting the engine bay turned out to be painting the whole car. Just got it back today and will start to put the engine bay back together next week. Happy how the paint turned out. First car I have ever had painted and am super worried about chipping something when I have to pull the front end off to install the chassie harness.

Update...Finally it runs.
I ended up putting R34 GTR turbos on it with custom machined S14SR turbine housings.

Ordering a Stillen lip for it. I ended up getting a good deal on some Ohlins DFVs they where for a R34 and they are sprung way to stiff. So I need to swap some softer springs in.

I have been stock piling photos since 2011. It is almost done so I figured it was time to make a build thread. I hate it when build threads get started and then then they update it when they put a boost gauge in. This way it is nothing but the good stuff.

Well, the title says it's cheap and sleazy, but it's looking pretty good, and will look a lot better after the wheel change.....

It is a play on words from Top Gear Season 13 Episode 5.
I suck at the internet

thats what i was thinkin too.
ive been wanting to put 19s on my z as well, but there arent too many examples of 19"s on the interwebz. but yours is a good example. i just scored some work 18"s to get rid of the 18" xxrs the P.O. had on there when i bought it. but now im for sure gettin 19"s yay
also, is the car kept in your garage or at a storage facility?
IF you keep it at/in storage, do facilities allow you work on your car there?
i know youre in wa... but im over in hawaii and im having a shit time findin a place with a 2 car garage...
