Nice work!
Nice work!
MYyutaka kayayama the one time president of Nissan Motors watched a broadway musical in 1956 titled (MY FAIRLADY)He love the play so much that he said that the car he designed would be his fairlady The 300ZX name followed the numerical convention initiated with the 240Z. The "X" was added to the model name by its predecessor signifying "luxury". The name was used in most markets with the exception of a few including the Japanese home market, there the car like all previous Z cars was sold as a "Fairlady Z".
with that said your interior looks bad ass.
nice work, keep us updated.

Update: (Part Gathering Pt. I) 1/14/09
There was an issue with idle so I checked out the TBs, pretty dirty as you can see...Time to bring out that TB cleaner!
Took about 1hr for both sides including reinstalling the hoses which were not fun at all, way tight in the engine bay. It ran better, but after 100 miles it came back. Next is to check the IACV...it's always something else lol.
SS laser etched strip for throttle cable cover
CF air guide
NRG Harness bar in titanium finish
G-Force 5pt Camlock harness
Weather Seal for LH Driver window
Trunk Weather Seal
Apexi AVC-R black edition...have to match the interior right?!
That's the end of gathering parts PT.I...we all know there are still a lot of parts to get!
34 more items to be exact not including suspension parts...yikes!

LS2ner def not, I'm actually running out of money for this thing lol, so mods and purchases will be slowing down...but no worries I'll keep working on something. Thinking of getting my own shop started so hopefully it'll bring in some $.

Why not have whoever is doing the swap sponser you? I mean hell, you could prob get something from nissan for all the nismo shit your doing =P
Im amazed at your attention to detail. Car is coming along amazingly. Please post more pics tho!! Even if it not an update. Exterior and interior shots would be cool.
Thanks lol when I met ya I said I'd take care of herBetter to see her being taken care of than neglected right?
I didn't really do many pics while I was working on the suede. Just before and after pics. I have a few ppl interested in getting their interiors done so once that happens I may try a how-to.
If only I could!
LoL and Nissan...we all know that's a whole other story.
Thanks! I try to get most of the details, without being overly tacky. Trying to keep it simple, I guess is the word
Will try to get more pics. Been really sick this week so no updates. I really need to finish putting the interior back together. Been having fitment issues argh!Always easier to take something apart than it is to put back together.
I have ordered a new convertible top though and it should be here by the end of the week. Will have to find someone to install it for me since I've heard it's VERY difficult.
Few other goodies are also on their way, and that will be my next update.
I really don't know. LoL jk I learned most of this by just hanging out with friends that knew about cars and reading forums. Trial and error of course helps too!
Thanks! I can't wait until it's done either and dyno or track would be fun! It's not all about show or go. It's about BOTH!
I'm about to go to the store to pick up some LEDs so I can change the pods and then order some LED bulbs for the dash.
But I don't know what color combo to go with! At first I wanted ALL red to match, but then it may just be too much. Opinions would be greatly appreciated!
So I thought of these colors to pick from or mix.
Gold
Red
White
Combo colors:
Gold gauge pods / Red Dash
Red gauge pods/ Gold Dash
White gauge pods / Red Dash
Red gauge pods / White Dash
Not really feeling the ALL red that's why I'm thinking of mixing it up. Image from a 300zxclub member
Kind of what I want to do...but with white leds instead of blue gauge pods.
But for visibility best would be white dash and red gauge pods
White dash and red gauge pods.

Maybe you could talk Z1 into covering the labor charges for building the motor? They dont have to fund the whole thing, but would help right? Just tell em you'll rock the vinyl and take it to some shows.
Going with all white with red accents on the gauge pods. Will match the dash since it has red needles.
Placed an order for 300 LED's red white and blue so I could do the mod for other members if they wanted.
If only Z1 would do that lol that'd be too cool!
Good job bro* That shit looks SOOO much better!
its a girl, bro.
LoL
I'm debating wether to go with ImportPartsPro or Z1 Motorsports for the longblock. If not going with either then maybe build it in the garage and source out a machine shop for the block. Might be cheaper that way.
White LED's are in for the gauges, and still waiting on those 300, 3mm LED's to arrive. Should be sometime this week for the pods.
Other than that the new driveshaft is being installed and a few more goodies have arrived. Waiting on more before doing another pic update.
UPDATE: 2/4/09 Minor interior details and some goodies!
So um making a double post...but I bring PICs!!!
If you wonder why the doors are still off, I'm waiting on some audio to arrive. Haha you know it doesn't take me months to reinstall the panels!
CF throttle cable cover from IonicDynamics great craftsmanship on this part, only thing if you are buying this is you'll need to drill your own holes for bolts.
Laser etched stainless steel strip applied to give it that touch of detail. Looks good and will match with the Nismo CF shift knob. This will be the theme of the engine bay. Black/CF/Chrome maybe red accents here and there.
Stock and dim yellow courtesy lights, I couldn't see anything in the dark if it weren't for the light in the garage.
Stock gauge lights, they weren't as bad as I've seen in other cars but if I'm changing the other lights might as well do them all!
Package from autolumination arrives, with an assortment of LED goods!
~4: #74 Bulbs (map/courtesy lights)
~5: 194/168 bulbs (dash)
~5: 194/168 wedge bulbs (exterior)
I always get 1 extra, just to have it handy as a back up in case one doesn't work.
White LED's non wedge installed into the dash. Slight hot spots, even with the tops of the leds sanded to diffuse the light. Don't pay attention to the mileage haha. Dash took about 20 mins to remove so it's easy. Thinking of changing the green ignition ring to red.
Map Lights and Courtesy lights changed out to bright white too. Looks much nicer! Excuse the mess on the pass side.
that's awesome. such exquisite attention to detail.
Can't wait to see more updates. hope the motor is running well also
