87 300ZX N/AT Grassroots Motorsports $2009 Challenge
 

This car was originally built for the Grassroots Motorsports $2007 Challenge, it also competed in the $2008 and $2009 Challenge finishing 7th overall in 2009
It started life as an 87 n/a automatic, I swapped to a 5 speed manual, tanked that motor and swapped to an n/a engine with only 1 bar of boost at which point it dyno'd 285 whp 349 lb/ft. I stripped and painted the whole car in and out, although paint and body isn't my strong suit and I laid it on thin and it's not looking so hot these days and could use a respray. The car ran a 13.1 with the turbo motor at 20 psi and only 13.8 with the n/a motor at 14 psi. The car does smoke under deceleration, not sure if it's the turbo or the rings, I did pinch and oil ring when I built the motor and reused an old ring as I couldn't wait to get a new ring in. It runs and drives no problem. ODO speedo don't work as I'm running the T5 in an 87 chassis (T5 used a cable to electronic sender, 87 used electronic sender at the trans) Coolant temp gauge works intermittently ( I added a coolant gauge, along with wideband and boost) Power steering has been removed. Power windows and locks all work. Hatch/fuel door release cable doesn't work (you can pop the fuel door form the inside). Bumpers removed (covers are there but no bumpers under). HVAC removed (heater core is in the car no fan or ducts (I have all the parts just not installed). battery relocated to rear
