300ZX just got new rims going to burn off hella frush stretch rubber and put something a little meatier though the car feels pretty good for being on coilovers and stretched rears. 300zx got recent fluids including tranny and diff with redline products. Havent been able to do much for the 300zx lately with my S13 twins taking up all my time. The 300zx gets daily driven since the AC is now ice cold. 400 horse 32 mpg docile and quiet. Z31 300zx is getting driven by my nephew interning at my shop this month.

More picts later

Traded the Eclipse Spyder I picked up cheap after swearing off DSMs for this 95 GSXR750W. It needed a clutch and a few other knick knacks

Just wasnt comfortable so traded repaired and cleaned up running bike for the 240sx running badly and cash and a bunch of parts my way. Cash paid for all extra parts and machine work so far so that has been a bonus. Car came to me with the 5zigen Fn01Cs that are now on the 300zx.

1993 240sx SE with some issues RB20 straight six 5 Speed Swap picked up on the cheap and went to town. Purchased a new head after finding some oil starvation issues that were not machineable Rebuilt the starter, and have started to piece together the rb20. Its about 80 percent complete. New Tomei 256 cams, MLSHG, Headstuds etc. Water pump and a few things refreshed. Did most of the work over a weekend so didnt document much. Lost much sleep and wife was not happy.

Cant wait to hear it run. Its so close, waiting on some gaskets and injectors. RB20DET ECCS model off a R32 GTR GTS with above parts plus FMIC and piping and new wideband and eventually nistune with 550 injectors and a RB25 turbo. Car Has Megan Track Coilovers, 300zx Brakes with 5 lug swap, and a bunch of other stuff including a Shimmed VLSD. Gonna be the track weapon probably. Going to eventually rebuild bottom end with 88MM pistons and forged bottom end. I did pick up a rb25 thats rebuildable so I will probably go that route since the extra displacement will help though the though of a 2.3L short stroke rb20 bottom end with 11k RPM head would make very fun power and an interesting noise :)


Car needs an interior bad. I hate it when people strip shit. My solution is always just make moar powar! Keep the AC you fools!

This is the Nissan I used to know and love.
Sadly the brand is all but pretty much dead to me anymore minus the odd exception.
I will always love 90's cars the most...

Ya nissan like toyota and honda have lost their way to guys like us. All nissan has to do is make a car like the FRS and they are half way there. they just need a new 180sx thats really light and rwd. A vert option would be killer as well.


Update:


Red 240 clutch slipping a bit at 12 lbs of boost. Just hit 500 miles on build so I upped it from stock 7 lbs after a fresh oil change and look over. No leaks and ecu reads code 55! Code 55 = no codes all is good if your wondering.

I know I never updated my engine build for the SR20 but time and life have been insane. Ended up sending head and block to Jim Stewart over in gasoline alley at Stewart Engines and they built out my head and and did all machine work impeccably. Hes an amazing builder if you guys ever need something in his wheelhouse. His spec miata builds rule those series.
