New Z32 Guy

[TT Fairlady Z]

Whats up everyone.. I signed up on here a while back but never introduced myself. I dont think ive ever even made a post lol. But I am a 300zx guy. Ive messed with a few forty's as well. Im planning on picking up a forty for a daily at some point..

I used to have a 90 model 300zx TT. 2 weeks after I bought it it decided to spin a rod bearing. I had that motor rebuilt and replaced many other parts. It had a few bolt ons here and there. Mostly stock though.

That Z got totaled back in October. The motor was fine in the TT, so I bought a 93 2+2 auto with a bad transmission for 700 bucks to put the TT swap into. Ive ordered all of the hoses and such that was not replaced during the initial rebuild since the motor has been out. I ordered Powertrix coils, AMS adjustable front camber arms, tension rods, and rear camber arms, and a 1 piece drive shaft via Shaftmasters.com. As of right now the motor/tranny is sitting in the bay, the 1 piece drive shaft is in, and I have the suspension installed. Im ordering the rest of the parts that I need to finish it up sometime soon. As of right now its pretty dumped and its sitting on 4 N/a Z wheels. I have 4 TT wheels that need tires that are painted flat black that are going on. Eventually I plan on some 17" Workmeisters. But here are some pics all my shananogans..

Welcome to the boards. Might wanna check how things are run here before making a pic thread of your car build and story. Just a heads up. Pics go in pic thread. Hope you enjoy the stay though :)

I know artic from 300zxclub.com.. His wheel fitments are superb.. And his Z is uber clean.. I want to get a jspec front bumper when the time comes, but I dont want to look like a Artic knock off lol.. I have to look up to him though.. Ill come up with my own swag lol

As far as plans go. I just want to get it on the road. This will be my daily when I get it going. Ive been out of a Z since October and its killing me.. Once its on the road Im planning on window tint, Nistune, some nice offset wheels, and mayble later on down the road a real build. If I did decide to build it I will be shooting for about 550whp. The addiction never ends though.. I could go on for days about what my plans are lol

Yeahh I was a fan of the Z32's before I saw Artics Z.. But he is some great inspiration..
