starting my rebuild..... patience is a virtue

 

nice ronin! are you part of the Z club>? Im trying to get back into the whole scene again here in SA

 

I used to be but I kinda grew tired of it. Did the twisted sisters run,... a few back, probably took a little life out of the VQ.

 

haha yeah, shaved a few years im sure. Id be cool to check out your build, i just got my 350 last week, ...i guess other than the Z club the scene is kinda dead

 

I linked up with Joe and Darrell@ http://www.sanantonioautorepairservice.net/
darrel pulled the engine for me and has agreed to walk me thru the entire breakdown back to the real assembly. And something Ive always wanted to do, 'build my own engine'. just sent off the heads yesterday and I pulled the pistons and polished the timing chain cover.

oh... and planning on painting the engine bay black. painting my valve covers caliper red and gonna paint the plenum black

 

Tokico blues are just OE replacements. If thats what you want you can also look into KYB GR2, those are also OE replacements.

Why not coils? Tons of coils under a G.

 

many comments on how coils under a G are not worth it.

hmmmm. Eibach Pro Street S

 

Swift Spec-R

 

^^^ Didn't even post up your own review thread: https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...gs-review.html

 

Bahahaha yeahhhhhh I got lazy.

 

Getting the sweet hook ups from a buddy who is selling his Z. He's giving me his unused Motordyne XYZ pipe and some Berk test pipes. Stoked!

 

That is a good friend. I need one of those...

 

^^me toooooooo

 

Just did an oil change at 30,145 miles. Gonna wash/wax the Z over the weekend and get ready to sell it..

 

Isn't that a lot of miles for an oil change?

 

Painted my Supertones' grilles black.. stripped a tiny screw in the process

 

If you need to re-thread, bring it by I have a tap set. Will take less than a minute to fix.

 

^^^ It's actually a tiny bolt with a phillips head* and matching nut on the backside, I'll have to find a replacement at the hardware store. It's nbd, thanks though.

 

I will probably end up selling the xyz pipe and test pipes anyways. I need a tune!!!

 

I may be interested in the xyz depending in which attachment it has and the price!
