bitchin'

I don't know if you ever heard/seen the Japanese anime show called Wangan Midnight, but you remind me of the main character. Your guy's passion for the Z is pretty much the same, of course your's is higher but still lol . BTW I pmed you

[L1no]

God damn! Two of my favorite Z's!

i keep trying to like the vintage fender mirrors, but i cant. i try harder, and still cant. then i see someone put them on a miata or something else from the 90's, and i want to shove rusty sewer pipe into my eyeballs. also, i like to think up scenarios where the driver is yelling at his wife/friend to adjust the mirror as he sits in the driver seat and they move the mirror in every possibly incorrect angle.

really hoping you dont put any on your z.

Yes it is:-) That's the old exhaust... the 5.0 never really cared for that so I had to do something about it! The new setup is still in the works, and of course put on hold due to more important builds... such as...

Christine's 280Z out of Chicago... we'll be bringing her engine bay up to speed to match the rest of this perfect ride. Starting with the intake manifold, cut down to size, a little bit of shaving, cleaning, and port work.

All casting finishes, imperfections, and the wicked protrusions of the factory runners are long gone.

More to come... now it's a real Z party thread:-)

Please tell me you're doing ITB's! I want to do the same on my S130. I guess I gotta stay posted.

When all is said and done it will have a single small mirror on the driver's side door.

Believe me, I'm trying... The lack of endless funds, other builds/projects, the time required to figure certains aspects out... hell, life in general... tend to play against me:-)

No ITB's for this manifold... see below. And yes, do stay tuned:-)

Thank you! More to come on the frame shortly. Until then, a little intake manifold action. I don't believe I've posted much intake manifold work as of yet, however it is another facet of ours.

The intake manifold started out as the stock 280Z unit, or piece of junk you see posted in the photos above. We've stripped it of all casting markings on the top, and wire cleaned the underside to a like-new finish. The runners were completely ported and polished (yes, polished...more pics to come later) and the new plenum is welded. The finish work will continue tonight, and the plenum will be welded to the runner and baseplate tomorrow morning.
