Got some work done on the Z today. Pulled the engine and trans out. Was a PITA to get out idk what Nissan was thinking when they built this damn thing smh. That's why it's getting a good ol LSX swap. Also got my turbo and other parts in

i had one of these back in the day. I think it was an amazing car for what it was. The primary shortfall were the crappy brakes. Clean versions hold their value well. i sold my 93 in 99 with 85k miles and a JWT kit for 13,000. 18 years later, they are still selling for that much (clean version).
Will be interesting to see where you go with this and the results you get.

Been awhile since I've had an update so ya go lol
Got some more goodies this week. Bought my buddies ECU tuned by the infamous DENMAH. It's the black 300zx that he tuned on YouTube awhile back. I hope it works out since he was running a 4.8 and I'm running a 5.3 but who cares lol. I also bought his wiring specialties harness for the 300zx to LS1.

Next on the list will be an adapter for the z32 trans to mount to the 5.3. Probably going to go with the G Force adapter. LS6 cam, I can't find any Ls1 manifold for under $200 (I refuse to pay anymore for one lol) said I'm going to run a shaved truck intake, 80# injectors, and a nice z32 clutch. I was challenged by my teacher at school for a 1/4 race in his 68 nova so I'm a bit pressed on time aha. I need to get this thing moving so I can get some seat time lol
