[Mistah Mofro]

Well its really dead at work so i figured why not make a build thread?

So alittle history lesson since some of my leftover "homework" was transferred into my current Z project.

This was my first S30 i bought through a friend which stayed pretty much stock for a while. I had a spare motor on the side so I procceeded to do the typical rebuild with new pistons,rings,bearings, gaskets, etc and copped some usual datsun fabulous parts like Mikunis, coilovers and rear disk conversion. Got it running and drove it for about two months and then..............

The car got involved in a 3 car pile up which unfortunately which ended up being a tad bit more than to fix than I cared for and since 240z shells are sold for crackhead cheapz prices i didnt fret although sad to lose my first real project. Which then came along a spider.....

Build thread

Well sorry for the delay i totally forgot about this thread but its time to bring it up to speed....along came a spider:

This dusty heep of datsun was tucked away in vacaville for a nice shiny penny i seen on craigslist a few days after my accident. I called a friend, picked up a dolley, and headed to pick the beast to replace my crunched metal stuffz.

The first night i had it i wanted the monster truck ride height to be done including my rear disk conversion, 15/16 bmc, ss lines front/back, And swap my wheels over. All went well so i got a few hours of sleep called up a few buddies and began swapping the motor over.

Got the motor in with slight problems since its really hard to line up a motor in the dark with only various "flashlight" apps everyone provided though somehow it got done.

It was then time to say goodbye to my old chassis and brainstorm on the next one. Before my accident I got some decent wheels that i couldn't pass up and figured it was time to revamp the wiring with a 12 circuit EZ Wire harness. Well problem was at the time i was working two full time jobs so i had no chance of working on my car (10am-7:30pm and then 11:00-7:30).

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb251/Mistah_Mofro/DSC_1856.jpg

So i asked a local shop to do the rest for me and just make it drivable so i can take over the rest. My car sat for about 2 weeks there then i received a call that the shop was closing down. So i asked if i can work on my car until the doors closed, got approved.*

So when i finally got settled into working one job I went on a spree... Got things like a Corbeau fx1, grip royal wheel, zx dizzy, zx alternator w/adjuster, msd blaster, racequip 5pt, and got tires mounted on my wheels which are SPINWERKS/CIRCLE RACING 16x9.5 w/ 205/55 in the front and 215/60 in the rears which are temporary tires until i burn them up at a skid pad where i can get 205/50's all around.

So yeah u would say Thats pretty much up to date..

Well although I have not had a chance to work on my car as much as I like to, while changing jobs yet again in the coming weeks, I just dont have the motivation to stay out late and try to make the car run in a neighborhood who already complained about my car once before.


http://teamfeintheart.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/dsc_0420.jpg?w=637&h=426

Onto whats going on here. I got some T3 Bumpersteer spacers to slap on to get me motivated to work on the car again...and it worked.


http://teamfeintheart.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/dsc_0417.jpg?w=637&h=426

Then i remembered these car are old usually owned by some stupid someone. Well somehow they bent the hell outta my sway bar bolt which resulted in a cutting that shit in half. No pics but I got a matching Corbeau bracket for the FX1 and got a quick release. Seems my hub may be too long so a short hub will eventually be purchased but that can wait.

http://teamfeintheart.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/dsc_00121.jpg?w=637&h=426


After my electrical dilemma I have figured out my starter issue, new alternator, replaced the burnt wires, new ngk spark plugs, put in my gas pedal from my last car and got the motor to start but seems my timing is off yet again after the e12-80 was mounted. Other than that its just a matter of time and patience now.

Other than my car stuff our Team Feint Heart group has an official logo working with Attackworks bringing them an idea I had then making into reality.

After taking a break from drifting, photography, and the girlfriend it was time to finally do something about the Z. After having a moment of weakness and putting it up for trade but it would only last a week. After going to the Datsun fun run it made me consider in keeping my Z, Marshall "stupid fast" mentioned awhile back that he had an L28 sitting so I figured why not..

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb251/Mistah_Mofro/temporary_zps29d01588.jpg

Taking out my L24 for later use, I got to work to prep the L28 in a night ........

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb251/Mistah_Mofro/temporary_zps6a5e437a.jpg

After this sitting for months I figured it was time put this in since I had acces to a lift....makes for great skids, how do I know?

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb251/Mistah_Mofro/temporary_zpsf813a61a.jpg

Because within the two days I dedicated time to this I swapped out the engine to diff and got it running. Problem was my hesitation or flatlining was still present. Which finally narrowed it down to three things from the dizzy,coil or the fact I didn't have an FPR. Marshall came through for me with an spare e12-80 and finally I got to rev up the car and made a quick skid.

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb251/Mistah_Mofro/temporary_zpsa3221c66.jpg

Needa do some minor R&R to get it roadworthy but it's good to know I can go on small runs for the time being. Marshall (stupidfast) really came in for me! Now for moar low and get some dam progress!!

Well the L24 had a blown Headgasket and My friend offered up a L28 he had sitting around so I threw it in.

https://sphotos-a-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/578991_584928844890653_1353287002_n.jpg

Well the car has been pretty good lately and I got to actually make it to Vintage Auto Salon in San Leandro a old school J-tin meet and then.......

86Fest in Oakland at Toyote One Dealership. It was a great day other than a few hiccups the car drove relatively smooth the entire time.

Me and the homies wanted to go take some group pics for da social media realm....

https://sphotos-b-pao.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/539687_10151595379958030_2005049016_n.jpg

As we were setting up I noticed the steering was alittle funny..... we took the picture and then my friend saw a broken bolt on the floor which another thought it was his tranny bolt or something.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/994591_10151807922149976_245087308_n.jpg

Somehow my bumpsteer/spinldle bolt snapped when we pulled into the shooting spot which was weird since it happened while i was going straight rather turning or anything. Still dont know what caused it but I fixed the following morning although it cost me a trip over to Sonoma to cover their Summer Jam event. At the moment Im happy with the car and looking to improve its daily use.
