Props for a gangsta ass car.

you hit me up a while back on 88hybrid...your z looks real nice, is that bodykit adapted from an s13 one? you prob get hated on from z purists, but i like your car, it actually looks like it performs, and your drifting pics give hope to all those who would've loved to own a 240, but were unable to find one for sale. my only ? that rear bumper....i'd definitely prefer you to follow during a tsuiso run cuz that thing is gnarly, and not in a good way...but who am I to talk? i've got a 3rd gen camaro iroc z rear bumper i'm planning on putting on my z31t, so, ?

whitepony22

Def not something you see everyday or ever really. I like the originality of it man. What motor are you using? Didn't see that anywhere.

Benedict

still stock vg and t3 just cleaned up the engine bay. Intercooler is mounted but haven't made pipes or turned up the boost yet.

Did, all that came up was an fc bn rx-7 kit. Would that be it?

dsastr_clan

wow, the z31 alomost looks like a s13

Wastegate

Lol no S13s should look more like benes Z31. I love your originality.
May I ask how the FD rad swap went? And your welded diff hasn;t given you any trouble?

84zed31

your Z is SEX. not feeling the new paint job, but hey everyone has their own taste. The FC bodykit however, how much custom work did it take to get the kit on there? I have a Z31 also but only have the Kaminari kit, this is something new haha.

Benedict

I finally put the videos on YouTube

Thanks to this nice young lady..


I have some new shiny things.


CX Racing FD RX-7 radiator with fans and universal intercooler. It's more eBay stuff and cheap ($400 shipped for everything here) but the weld quality looks good. Plus, my friend has been using one of their radiators in his S14 for several years with no problems.

Also waiting to go in the car..
JWT ECU
SAFC
420cc injectors
Cobra MAF
OEM turbo manifold with external WG flange
TSS SS exhaust manifold hardware kit
t3/t4 .57 trim .63 a/r
Greddy BOV

Still need..
IC pipes, couplers, and t-bolt clamps
External WG
boost controller (I have a cheap MBC but may upgrade)
Time..

This setup made 391hp/433tq on my buddy's Z for a while until he got boost greedy and cracked a ringland. Turning the boost down so I stay in the 350-375hp range should make this uber reliable. It should be a pretty fun upgrade from my stock 205 crank hp.


By no means am I a tech or gadget person, but with the iPhone 4 it really is too easy to embarrass your friends all up in the interweb.

Deployments and work have us three going our separate ways but the last year of weeknight wrenching etc has been a lot of fun.

Rolling the JWT/SAFC combo eh? No love for Nistune?

Benedict

Nistune sounds like the better choice. But with Matt selling everything together it was a great deal.

Benedict

thanks for the comments

the FD radiatior is still waiting in it's box while I'm away for work. I've already got the stock radiator mounted horizontally so it shouldn't be any more work than making new brackets and re routing hoses. easy.

I'm on my second welded diff. 1st one lasted 4 years in 3 shells for probably 75k abusive miles at stock power. Welds broke loose while putting around town and blew a hole in the diff cover. Zero problems from the second one and my buddy daily's his Z31 with a welded diff also.
