2+ years Of My Life..My 400+hp Datsun Z Build. Lotsa Pics

Well here it is guys....been working away almost every free moment on it for the past few months eager for completion. I have driven the car about 10miles and its incredible and sounds VERY angry with the cam and added compression (the car not me). The boost is set low (4-5psi) right now for the initial break in, but based on how it feels I am confident that this car is quicker than my 2900lb - 911 Turbo that is sitting about 425hp.

About the car: I rescued it from a banker in Denver 8years ago, it was rusty and rough but stock and "all there" right down to the stock Hitachi cassette deck, everything works on the car. It has improved every year I have had it.

There is still lots of little things to do and bugs to work out, but its fairly presentable, so thought I would share.

A quick run down on the Engine:
3.0L Displacement
240Z rods
JE Pistons 8.1: 1 compression
Diamond Like Coating (DLC) on the wrist pins
Swain coated piston domes and exhaust & combustion chambers
Whitehead Performance Ported and Polished P90 (non-hydraulic)
HKS 2mm Head Gasket
Web Turbo Grind Cam
ARP studded bottom end
ARP Head Studs
ARP flywheel bolts
Custom Aluminum Radiator
Arizona Z-Car Turbo Oil Pump
Corky Bell Fabricated Intercooler (custom made)
2.5" Intercooler Piping
Perma-cool Oil Cooler (-10 lines)
Flex-A-Lite twin Electric Fans thermostatically controlled
Clutch Specialties Clutch (custom made)
Fidanza 240mm Flywheel
Brand new genuine Nissan Borg Warner T5
Custom made Intake Manifold
South Florida Performance Exhaust Manifold
Garrett T3 / T4 Turbo
TiAL Blow Off Valve and 38mm Wastegate
67mm BMW 735i Throttle Body
3" Mandrel Exhaust

Lots of Autometer Gauges.

Hand built coilovers by myself

Soon: Willwood 4Piston brake conversion

The front spoiler was imported from Japan and a very unique piece that took ALOT of messing to fit it.

The car should be capable of 400+whp and will be set to run 18psi on a Haltech E6X Engine Management very soon (after break-in).

The pics...



















Enjoy and regards - Yasin
