Here is my 'project' car. One day my dream car after I spend a lot of money on it.

Some of you may have seen it (me and my husband) on Saturday at Racepace

Place looks familiar! Seriously listen to these dudes on here / same thoughts as me on the engine build.

First new oil pump, sump mods, water pump, fuel pump - then look at turbo's, exhaust, new engine loom and ecu, intercooler, radiator, oil cooler before opening engine and filling it full of aftermarket stuff. IIRC your car is spot on compression wise.

yes and no....

would be silly to upgrade oil pump and not do custom drains and restrictors... might as well just not put oil in the thing :P

I

Saw it on aus-vip

Winner with black leather, any mods planned?

Haha, of course!

Already got VS-XX coming and trying to make up my mind on what suspension to use to go a little lower.

I've also bought a K-break grill and now doing research on whether it's easier to fit Z33 brembos or z34 Akebonos :D

To which car? I just sold a set of Akebono's as I didn't want to run 19/20's.

Edit: Just clicked the link.

Are they the same brakes as the 350z touring?

I don't know, I've only just started reading stuff.

Over in the US, they've put both brembos and akebonos on these cars but I'm not sure how much modding needed to happen. I also read some people over there were having some success with fitting the CZ Performance Akebono conversion kits for z33. Again, not really sure if they were bolt-on or not.

Yep!

Also people under-estimate certain OEM parts.

And do the short cut round.

Oh nice will look good by the sounds of it!

Was hoping to go a full k-break kit for my majesta, but those $$$$$ :P

Yea, K break make nice looking kits with price to suit but they're a lot cheaper than Junction Produce. Love the JP kit for the y34s but they're way too expensive :P

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
