I'm bbbbaaaacccckkkkkkkkkk! For those wondering about the thread title, when I bought the Z originally I made this thread with the same name. Pictures are long dead but thought I'd throw it up for some history. -------- So where is the Z at now? Broken. Low compression on #2 as a result of a software fault (I think) meant the Z has been sitting idle for quite a while. New job. New money. Time to get it back up and running. It ran 13.9X on 5 cylinders in mid 1XXs psi and one at 90 psi the last time it was out. Hoping to improve on that significantly when it comes back. -------- So whats the plan, Jan? Have had a motor ready to swap over for a while. Came out of EvZ car way back when. 150+ across the board. Gonna throw some extra bits on it and run that till I decided what to do with the motor thats coming out. What's it already got: Intake 2.5" exhaust Blitz ID-3 EBC. SPL radiator (need to get the hard lines for embedded oil cooler made up) Defi gear Gram Light 57Pro - 18x9 +40 /w245s, 18x10+38 /w 285s RPS 6puck Max Clutch RPS LW Flywheel Currently sitting at my place: MSP manifolds SZ 3" expansion 100k service kit New motor mounts Polished upper plenum Silicon vac line to replace everything High flow thermostat + bunch of other small things I'm forgetting no doubt. About to be ordered: 300degree fuel rail / 740cc / hard lines Nistune (probably) Selin Translator + Elbow kit + Extra Maf (again, probably) 3"->2.5" cat pipes (prob get them done here, undecided) Hoping to dive in to the low-mid 12s at the strip, hoping to spit out some smoke at AHG and maybe even Collie/Barbagello. It's gonna be a good year. :zlove:
Good to see ya back Steve. I'm back in Perth too , soon to have a better Z. Some more AHG sounds awesome. Now called somethin else though, like RAC or some shit.
I don't mind what they call it, so long as I can be sideways on it. :zlove: Is Simmo's Z calling out to ya Steve?
Incominggggggg! Selin translator + Elbow kit incoming Oh, and 300degrees fuel rails and 740cc injectors. Gonna need another MAF and intake but I'll think I've got that sorted.
An RameyZ engine sling that I ordered has arrived at SpecialtyZ so my fuel rails/translator order should be coming out shortly Also picked up an engine crane from Josh (loud'n'proud) so might start doing some work this weekend if I have time. :zlove:
Alas, I had to work the weekend so no progress made. However I did receive a nice present today. SZ chip for dual+740cc. Won't be using this but it'll be interesting to see what changes they made Some parts of the fuel line kit and 740cc injectors 740cc injector Fuel rails RameyZ sling translator/pipe kit. Just need another maf from Jinxed now. FWIW I bought most of the gear through SZ and they were awesome to deal with. Bought sling from IPP because SZ doesn't typically carry it and then shipped to SZ who then forwarded it on with the rest of my gear.
Damn wide wheels on the back, that looks stunning. Heading out to any of the vic events soon i'd love to check it out
