You gave me a whole new look on z31s, love the build and the car

S13Monk · 01-04-2011, 11:37 PM

Real nice z31.

DeleriousZ · 01-05-2011, 08:50 AM

Thanks guys.

Finally started on the exhaust yesterday, should be finished by the weekend hopefully.

DeleriousZ · 01-06-2011, 09:52 AM

got a bit more work done tonight, tacked up/tested out the welder on the beginnings of exhaust. i also ground off the old welds from the tension rods to make way for new, better ones lol.

Pure_JDM · 01-06-2011, 10:08 AM

nice man... i look forward to seeing more.

zylvia213 · 01-06-2011, 03:11 PM

Z31's dont get enough props... they look legit when they are done up right. Ive always liked these cars.

DeleriousZ · 01-07-2011, 07:36 AM

didn't get a whole lot of torch time last night, taking this into work with me today to get it milled flat again.

DeleriousZ · 01-09-2011, 11:28 PM

more exhaust work:

Was making good headway until I ran out of Argon this afternoon..

DeleriousZ · 01-11-2011, 11:38 PM

MOAR

DeleriousZ · 01-12-2011, 11:07 PM

clean autogenous vs gummy thick filler welds lol.

clearace:

Not quite as much as I'd like, but it'll do!

tpollingerz31 · 01-15-2011, 01:40 PM

Oh yeah I thought I remembered seeing this Z on Z31performance.com. Very nice build!

adamvann3 · 01-20-2011, 08:29 AM

Welding is looking top notch. What is the rest of the plan for the exhaust?

DeleriousZ · 01-20-2011, 07:41 PM

over the rear subframe, under the axle, out the back in the stock location. I've got the 'middle' piece tacked up now, going to weld whenever I get back into the groove, wasn't going as well as I'd like last night! GRR! lol.

This car'd look a whole lot better with a set of weds kranze shoki's on it

Benedict · 01-20-2011, 09:06 PM

Dude grab those -41 -61 weds srsly!

DeleriousZ · 01-20-2011, 11:10 PM

lol, they're considerably out of my price range. Give me your VS-KF's

DeleriousZ · 01-20-2011, 11:55 PM

the 'over the subframe' pipe, all welded up tonight, save the one vband side. Waiting to take the rest out from under the car to bolt the vbands together for welding to prevent warpage!

ecuastyle84 · 01-21-2011, 12:19 AM

nice welds

Agreed. I want to pick up another set before summer so I can use the grams on the track. I am really pissed that I passed up a set of Miesters with white faces this fall. Those Weds sold faster than I could PM they guy. Hot ticket I guess.

Im slowly building up the IC kit I am putting together. Unfortunately my welding is sub par so I trust the work of others and can appreciate.

So is this thing going to be on the road and tuned in 2011?

DeleriousZ · 01-26-2011, 11:55 PM

Got the rear section all welded up, sans tip and vband (waiting to finish hangers before welding on tip, then remove everything to bolt vbands together for welding.)

hopefully have it buttoned up tomorrow, depending how the hangers go.

Aiming for late February, It needs to be mobile so I don't have to tow it to the new house.

adamvann3 · 01-27-2011, 08:54 AM

Just tits mate.

As much as I would like to see a muffler on this thing, I think you could pull off an angled blast pipe out the back cut flush with the farthest point of the rear bumper.

Keep it up

DeleriousZ · 01-30-2011, 12:26 AM

DeleriousZ · 01-30-2011, 11:02 PM

installed it, ran it, it's still pretty damn loud lol.

And the bash ramp, should hopefully protect it from ripping the vband apart on speedbumps and so on

DeleriousZ · 02-01-2011, 11:35 PM

YouTube - 1988 300zx Turbo Walkaround

quick walkaround vid.

Om1kron · 02-01-2011, 11:50 PM

ingenous on the ramp. hopefully it doesn't rip a hole in the bottom of the pipe though.

DeleriousZ · 02-01-2011, 11:56 PM

Yeah, hopefully! I'm thinking the only time it will hit something is going over a speedbump, or up/down/over steep or uneven ground, which will all be at xlow speeds. I drag frame sometimes with my daily on some of the speedbumps/roads around here so this thing will be a real treat.

There's enough give in the poly hangers and flex pipe to allow for a good amount of overall movement.

DeleriousZ · 02-14-2011, 11:53 PM

Got the turbine housing ceramic coated, then the entire assembly rebalanced to better than garrett spec.

Looks much nicer in there now, matches the valve covers well i think!

Oil change and new gas tomorrow, hopefully it stops pouring rain long enough to take it around the block!

Om1kron · 02-15-2011, 12:35 AM

nice, glad to see this progressing more.

DeleriousZ · 02-17-2011, 11:51 PM

Suffering setbacks lately, losing coolant into the engine somewhere. Checked compression and it's a solid 160 all across the board, at the rate it's losing coolant, there'd have to be a serious leak in the gasket causing major loss of compression so HG can probably be ruled out.

Best bet right now is lower intake manifold gasket leaking between intake tract and coolant reservoir. Replacing gaskets tomorrow, should hopefully solve issues. Gives me the opportunity to flush out the cooling system that's been sitting for a while anyways, as well as replace some leaky hoses.

Imarvin240 · 02-18-2011, 01:04 AM

car looks great man and i am a fan of this z31 build

hah and good luck with the dealing with the coolant leak

Soulless · 02-22-2011, 12:53 AM

I cant wait til my z has a build thread like this. Such and nice car!
