TIME FOR ANOTHER UPDATE!!
So as im sure you guys have guessed this project has almost come to a finish. ive been driving it around for a few weeks now, i had to send the ecu back in to have everything extra turned off, that was the problem with the safe mode.
the first day after i put tags and insurance on the car the oil pan sprung a huge leak..... some to find out i installed the oil pan gasket wrong on the rear and it slashed it, i pulled the pan off that night and fixed it it was cold as crap and the next day it was snowing. no other hiccups other than that.
A small disclaimer for anyone who will be attempting this swap
as i am sure anyone who has already done this swap will tell you its no joke.
my first great idea to make this swap a little more sleeper like was to keep the stock se rims 225's on the back and 215's on the front.....bad call the first third gear pull i attempted on a cool damp day set the car sideways quick!
so i put my saleens on it with some 255's the car still chirps 4th on the right occasion.
if your going to daily the car and still make some track time in make sure you get some good baffles for your exhaust, the 2.5" setup i have going into those 2 cans made me a very high profile car with the police with normal driving.
the powerband on this car comes in hard and fast, i will be swapping out for a j30 rear end very soon those 4.08's make speeding too easy and the gearing is pretty short. i do alot of 2nd gear starts.
start thinking about those z32 brakes now
now what you really want to hear about driving experience
this car is a blast! just respect it!! every gear pulls HARD and at highway speeds in 6th it will still put you back in your seat. the weight balance feels near perfect (ill try to get it on a scale soon). and the gas mileage is exelent i drive 50 miles a day round trip to work i can drive there and back every day with just 7 gallons.
how about some pictures and a video?
you'll have to excuse the quality using my ipod touch for pics till my new phone comes in.
new wheels to help cope with traction
trust me your gonna want to use these if your running headers and duals to two canisters
did i mention i love my saleens
justin collins did a great job an the wire tuck and fuse box relocation
that should give you a good idea of hood clearance on a hood with the bottom supports untouched
stay tuned there is more to come, cant wait to test out my gopro with this thing.
