The bonus is this cool like scoop and duct that leads to the air box. I had no idea that was included.






See you already got $9 back. Subtract the fuel to drive it down there and back.......
You're well on you're way to making some cash back!!!

My bad bro. I guess you were waiting on some feedback. Didn't intend to mislead.

Was more like thanksgiving when I did this but I'm stuck here since I screwed up my wrist. Main bearing #3 is dead, haven't checked the rod bearings. Should've just fixed the damn oil leak when I noticed it.

I know I think I took years off the life of my truck with the horrible condition of the messed up frozen ground their.

Worth it

Haha, I first noticed the metal in the oil pan a while before and stopped driving the car. Had it towed up here and tore it down. Figures I'd move up to the mountains right after screwing up my Z. Now I'm stuck driving a brick aka Wrangler on all these awesome curvy roads.

Luckily, other than the bearing and slight grooving on the crank everything in the motor is incredibly clean. Was told the motor only had 500mi on it when I took possession but honestly thought it was BS until we got it opened up.

Cool! Had one exactly the same as a stablemate a few years ago too!



This is the one that's now notorious for wearing a set of Ling Long Crosswind tahrs on it. Laff....

Sweet Z32! My 240sx of the same year has some parts from one of those. I would love to have a 300zx of this year.

It's about 6 months later than when I really wanted one. I just did a full set of bushings and wish I had spares to pre-assemble. I still bought this one for the deal. I wanted a spare differential to build with a Nismo ring gear and an LSD.

Ill hold on to the subframe and incorporate into my next 240sx build if I am lucky enough to find one that the drifters haven't destroyed. My current 1990 S13 is getting a full cage, V8 FME mounted built for NASA time trials. Id like to build a full tube chassis (GT1 spec) and use the 350z rear subframe.

Installed ES poly bushings & new ball joints into my front lower control arms, lowered my suspension, & went in for an alignment. Good times

I don't know what resources you have available but if you're renting a ball joint press please make sure that they have the appropriate sleeves/caps necessary for the Z; Two things: Preparation and PB Blaster. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Lol. Thanks for the heads up. But I'm pulling the arms and having a shop press them out/in. They only charge me $20.
