Well alright guys, just about time that i got back into the Z world, and my roots. As we all know on february 15, 2005 my 1990 N/A Z32 was wrecked, by yours truly. Well it was a long bumpy road for me, made my mistakes, blew and rebuilt my engines had my guinea pigs and well. Needless to say I've come a very long way. we all know that right after the Z32 was wrecked and the company that was suppose to ship me my Z32 front clip decided to jack up the price after i had paid for it in full, i parted out my 65K original mile Z....

I picked up a nice 240sx coupe, Did an SR20 swap along with silvia front end. When the stock SR20 desided to break a few rockers and loose compression on cylinder 3 it was time for a rebuild, along with that came a RHD conversion and full silvia redo. either way, few months after that oil pump took a dump in rush hour, cudnt kill the SR and well a spun rod bearing killed it. so it was time to upgrade! got me a nice RB20 droped that bad boy in and drove it till i sold the 240sx.

shortly after that I picked up a 1995 Eagle talon TSI, did a complete TD06 20G set up, and pushed 412whp on it. then i somehow managed to stretch ARP Head studs and blew the Rallyart MLS Head Gasket. so arp sent me a new set of Head studs, and i got the head redone, put it all back together to bone stock and now the car is for sale, and the turbo kit is also for sale.

so after learning that the hyped out 240sx is the next rice target along with its SR20 swap. the DSM being nothing more than well a DSM winter car, its up for sale for someone to take it away.

and as of today Friday February 22nd, 2008 3 years and 7 days after my other wreck, I am the Proud Owner of a 1991 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. I'm back guys. i think im here to stay.

 

and no pics?

 

ok your not even looking at my car, you have crap luck with them it seems, worse than mine.

 

Bam!!! TT baby! But yeah... show us the pics!

 

aww u beat me to it you


and how the did you stretch ARP only pushing 412AWHP.... thats wierd! but yeah ive started the ditching of my S30's to get back into a Z32, and this time a TT

 

congrats. wheres the pics?

 

pics to come when its not raining outside, and i give it a nice wash.

 

how much $$ would it take to persuade you to come out to old palm springs and take my sister for a ride with the t-tops off?

 

lol random.

 

post a pic of your sister and she may get a ride in a 500rwhp Z32 with the t-tops off

 

she's already married, but i have a feeling she misses driving my z32 in the summer.

 

LOL at randy! ok, even I wouldnt drive out to cali (and we live like 20 mins away) for a super model just to give her a ride..... unless i was promised for it to go some where

 

dude, i once rode my my overpowered bicycle for three hours one way to pick up a girl i know who was dumped by her BF.

 

exactly my point. ha ha it's still raining so no pics

 

how about some info on it then

 

but we wanna see the water bead up on the car...........

 

good deal man. hoov, you have to put a "give my sis a ride app." first. duhh. you can't let just anyone do that! you have to see what they think late means!

 

well first owner was an oil filipino man, then he sent the car to stillen to get some work done (oem turbos redone, rear and front main seal, 120K maintenance, brand new EFI harness, motor and trans mounts, fidanza stage 2 clutch, short shifter, front and rear strut bars, replace the shocks etc etc) bill ended up adding up to 16K, old man didn't wanna pay it. so his newphew 19 year old filipino/chinese kid got a loan on at the bank for the car for 18K, Giving a 5K down he was financing 13K witha 21.84% interest rate. apparently the kid got owned by the bank. so he eh paid about 2 years but it finally got to him and he no longer wanted to pay for it. then the slave cylinder went out he thought it was the clutch and said it was a bad clutch, several ppl looked at it but being complete noobs didn't know anything about these cars and no one wanted it. I then went ahead and looked at the car, found out the problem, and made the deal. Pretty much him thinking it was a bad clutch he said he didn;t want any money out of it exept for me to take over payments, or pay it off and have at it.

I went and got a loan over at wellsfargo, 3years 13.12% for $6045.12 so my monthly payment on this car was $212

then i went ahead and bought a slave cylinder rebuild kit for 12$ at kragen, then went over to the kids house, fixed the car on the spot, and drove her home,

did u look at the kids face as you drove it off? did he give you the O face of pure **** rapage??? cause he sure did get owned on that deal bro 6k!!!! i almost sold my crapped out NA for that much. lol.


hey, dont crash this one! lol. and go get those pics!!!

 

why a resonator? you should look into enkei rpf-1s.

and why not z33 rotors?

 

for real. steal.

 

Z33 brembo's are upwards into the 2K mark. for just fronts, i can get an entire set of Evo brembo's for about 500 - 600.or if i want gold brembo's I might justget the STI and some 13" cobra rotors for allot cheaper than the Z33 set up.

those enkei's look like a wanna be Work Emotion's plus the only reason ima be running the FN0R1's is cause i already bought them and i got them for 600$ BNIB

 

i was talking about the stock z33 rotors. 12.8in with caliper relocation kit $800 all together from COZ, or $200 for the relocation kit and find the rotors yourself. but i guess youre looking for calipers too.

 

ok guys, reason being i haven't posted pics. A truck full of Illegal Aliens desided to swerve into me on the freeway. actually it just tapped my front bumper and caused me to spin, i thought i would recover, however HICAS owned me so i actually spun and hit the wall doing about 40ish. lucky me the only damage is

-Broken SMIC
-Broken Fog light
-Broken bumper support
-and a dent on my right rear quarter panel.

and i wasn;t surpried that those ******** bailed on me. so now i gotta fix it out of my own pocket. (either that or pay the 500$ deductable and watch my insurance payments go up 42$ a month for the next 5 years) either way, i ordered the SMIC from a 300zxclub.com member already. got the bumper support for free from my friend. and well the foglight is still on the works. im really thankfull no major / suspension damage was done. and that my JDM tail lights and Stillen exhaust made it out of it without a scratch.


so lesson being trust no illegal Alien, and Z32's can't drift.

:end rant:


good thing i hadn't installed the wheels though, that would have for sure gotten some nasty curb rash. however im sure this is going ot set me back on some nice upgrades i had in list to order within the next few months. *sad* oh well. **** happens right?

 

wow, that was like month 2 and you already crashed? maybe.... maybe you just arent meant for a Z32. lol. how did he "tap" you then you just spun? lol, idk. sounds like a little something is missing. and were they going with you or against you (coming at you)


i am sorry to hear that sucks i know. sorta been there.
