turboHLS30

This is a copy and paste from another forum because there is way to much progress to start over.

Whats up everyone my names Shane and this has been my project for about a year now. First off let I just turned 16 in May and I have had this car since I was 15. I bought this car for $1800 of my own money. So now for the car she's a Datsun 280z made in January of '75. Right now it has a 2.4 straight 6 backed by a 280zxt 5 speed with triple Mikuni's and a blowthru turbo setup. The Mikuni's are 40mm and the turbo is a T04B. As she sits now she is sitting on 240z suspension with unknown lowering springs. I think the drop is a 2.5" drop because it sits pretty low. Well here are the pics.
When I first got her




All the junk in her trunk LOL


After the junk in her trunk was cleaned out and I rustoleum'd the trunk area and put the stock carpet back in





240z Seats


After the 240z suspension and lowering springs





Now for the motor:

The finished product of the all nighter




7/25/10 Well today I went autocrossing with my friend in his Miata and we got 3rd place. He also has a '03 RSX Type-S and a Z32 300zx. After today I know for sure that I am going to autocross the Z. Also my Grant steering wheel and my Autometer boost gauge came in today. I put the steering wheel in and boy does it look good. I don't know where I'm going to mount the boost gauge yet but we'll see when I get it running.

And my "I <3 My Datsun" sticker


Oh and here is me and my friend Miles next to the Miata after we won 3rd


And a Z that was there. It's pretty fast, still running stock SU's


8/2/10 I went and picked up some new rims and tires for the Z last night. They are knockoffs but they look really nice and have some almost brand new tires. They're 14x7 0 offset with a 3-4 inch lip. The best part about it is that I gave the guy $50 and a strut bar for his civic. Anyways onto the pics





Also the person who put these lowering springs on put them on backwards, as in fronts in the back and backs in the front, so it sits as if it had no motor in it. So now I have to reverse them so that it will sit right.

Yesterday I finished installing my rims. Here's some pics.
Little bro preparing to put on the rim

The front wheel well

Still preparing but now doing the one legged dance LOL

Rear wheel well

Little bro starting to put the wheel on after BSing for 5 mins.

He couldn't get it on the first time, so he started complaining about me taking pics of him failing LOL

He still couldn't get it on

He gave up so I ended up finishing it


Back on the ground

Front wheel gap because of screwed up springs
