love it
good job dude

Flicktitty · 12-08-2010, 05:44 PM

Welcome Adam.

Car looks GREAT!

Whats next? Power upgrades?

adamvann3 · 12-08-2010, 06:46 PM

Currently
fabbing seat bracket for the new seat and 4 point
Gauge where radio was: stack boost, innovate xd-16, greddy E-10 screen

To do before summer
3" down pipe
Covert to v-mount cooling
Intercooler, pipes, tial BOV
Nistune
dyno tune with stock t25/fuel
some new exterior modes on the hush

I am basically trying to lay down a foundation of controls to support more power mods later down the road. I am trying to make my goals realistic so I can have car done and in Branson at the end of may.

I dont have a welder nor the power to support one so I am looking for someplace to aid converting to the v-mount, IC pipes ect.... So far nothing has really caught my attention in the milwaukee greater area. Any suggestions?

Like the work I see out of Vinny, but he seems to disappear for long periods of time, and seems to take a while to finish some projects. I know he is one man show, but I need better customer service than that.

Ill look in to Clocks off racing

Got a little bit of spring fever

DeleriousZ · 02-21-2011, 11:06 PM

Adam are those just z32 brakes up front or do you have an adapter on there with larger rotors?

Soulless · 02-22-2011, 12:44 AM

Car looks great no matter what forum its on.

I am running SPL z32 adapters (shimmed) with the 350z track rotors (12.76"). I wanted something better that also filled up the gap.

The adapters and calipers will be up for sale in the next few months.

Thanks. I should be tackling some underhood performance come spring. Stock power just isnt going to cut it anymore.

Soulless · 02-22-2011, 12:05 PM

At least you had a turbo to start with. Im stuck with an auto NA car.

Om1kron · 02-22-2011, 12:53 PM

very awesome

Well, the crossmember will probably be the only thing left from the original turbo parts after this summer. Well and the 8.3:1 motor.

I also have a 86NA auto 2+2 that has been swapped for a low mile motor, 71c trans and has every bolt on suspension upgrade possible except rear poly in the control arms. I dont think I have any current pics, but its the back up summer whip when the shiro is being worked on. That was my 1st Z and first car I ever did anything too. Great learning experience.

Hmm interseting, my stock z32 rotors are going to look itty bitty under my 18's, might have to hook it up

JZ33 · 02-22-2011, 11:23 PM

i have a question... in your first post, in your suspension, it looks like there is a spacer of some sort in between the lower arm and the spindle (i think thats what it is called but im sorry if im wrong). i was wondering what the purpose of that is? to maintain geometry or help lower it more? sorry if its a stupid question i have never seen that before and depending on what it is hoping i can use it on my 280z...

Good question. You nailed it, to help maintain geometry.

Let me know if you need any suspension help. I have done a fair amount of research, work and have worked with my friends s30, so I am familiar with the system.

JZ33 · 02-25-2011, 12:05 AM

well as far as suspension goes i dont know many options... any info is appreciated but a PM might be better so as not to clutter up your thread....

adamvann3 · 04-04-2011, 09:05 PM

JZ33 · 04-04-2011, 09:34 PM

you have the CLEANEST Z32 i have ever seen... i wish i could own one car in my life as nice as yours sir!

miggsfiggs · 04-05-2011, 12:25 PM

JayDee M Rolly · 04-11-2011, 01:11 AM

adamvann3 · 04-11-2011, 08:24 AM

Thanks. Started up the car and pulled it out of the garage on sat. Probably the earliest I have gotten around to the car over the years.

Spent a good portion the start of the day installing the seat. Turned out to be a jigsaw puzzle with the seat rails I fabbed up to ensure it was mounted low enough in the car. Everything eventually got squared away and I am very pleased. Its great to have a seat with high bolsters. I will probably get at the harness during the week. I bought all the hardware and drilled all the holes, but just ran out of motivation.

Ill dust off the camera and take some proper pictures once the interior is buttoned back together. Re-designed the short shifter/new shift boot, and some Ti hardware needs to go in yet. For now shitty cell phone pics will have to do
