So something I have been wanting to do is remove some wiring. There was so much of it. Tonight I didn't want to do the same **** as I have been doing. So I only removed seam sealer for about an hour or two and I moved to dewiring the car.
Here is some pics of some of the clean up I did on the rear saddle.
Here is a little preview of the wire stripping. Looks much better now.
This is what is left of the driver side chassis harness
This is what I took out... It literally felt like 6-10 lbs of ****. (I own a mastiff, I know what 10lbs of **** weighs.. ;-)

Trust me you aren't the only one. I found out there are two clips you can pull out of that main harness. I would have saved more time but it's all good. I Need to repair two wires I cut.Hopefully the other side soon. Not to forget all the AC system wiring. I'm going to have lights on in the dash like a mother... maybe custom gauge setup?

Some more goodies...
My Stance XR's came in today. Things are crazy. Definitely no regret. First set in the U.S. for Z33/V35 platform sold. You can get these from www.intensepower.com or call Pete and let him know you saw these for my car. Worth every penny.
In case I forgot this... Rods and Pistons.
Many people feel the need to bore the motor cylinders. I did not. Stock bore on Rods that can handle 1000whp.
So i'm going to try to install them tomorrow night (coilovers) and compare them to what I have now. will have pics.
Everything I need for the motor is done and here. We are waiting on my fuel system. Debating E85 if I can come up with the cash. Some surprises with the ProEFI maybe.

I am an aircraft electrician, as long as I have a good schematic, I could plug away at wires all day, BUT I am excited to see where you go with all this, I am sure most of those wires go to the antenna amp, speaker amp and misc lighting that is no longer needed. good luck!

^ I pulled out all that stuff. I have plenty left to pull out. If we do the new wiring, I will have 3 wires going to the back and 3 to the motor. I am going to probably do a custom gauge setup with Tach, Fuel and Boost. This is my other device:

So tonight I took some time to install the rears since the back of the car is already on jack stands. It was a nice quick install. The quality of these XR's are unbelievable. I don't know they can be super slammed but nothing a cut off wheel can't fix to let it drop some more. I want low, side skirt scraping slam.
Here are some pics.
This is what I had before...
This is what I have now
Look at the difference...
Check them out!!

Thanks! I can't wait either. It's been a long time waiting to start this. The 385whp wouldn't hold me off forever. Lifting the head when my car over heated in Vegas gave me a good reason to start this.

Hey Alex! I've been keeping up with the updates you post on Facebook, but didn't realize you started a thread over here on my350z too.
It's coming along nicely.
You're definitely putting some quality parts in your build. I look forward to seeing your G in person soon!

I see the new stance coilovers popping up on choice cars and I am REALLY excited to see how they perform, unfortunately, your car and Broadfield's on Nico (white super clean S13 from like november 2010 modified mag cover) are under deep construction... I reallllllly want to see these things get put through their paces on the track and how they do on the daily drive.

Intense is Building my motor. We didn't need a machine shop. Surprisingly my motor was still pretty good.
