I've had my Z for quite awhile now it's a 2003 bought it in 05 i knew the original owner was completely stock when i bought it. Was owned by a friend of a friend who was going through a mid life crisis and never took it above 4500rpm.. Anyways here is some pics that i have taken, last year i had some engine problems a piece of metal was in my new manifold that i had bought and got sucked into the engine and well $2500 in repairs later( new pistons,rings, cam pulley, all new gaskets) basically a brand new motor except for the block.. No warranty either....So to save myself on labar i did all the work, was a great experience and learned alot. I really dont want to list the mods but if you want me to just let me know.

 

Nice car and you obviously did good repair. I couldn’t even do an oil change by myself.

 

thanks

Welcome to the forum. Looks like you've been real busy over the last couple of years. Looking good.

 

thanks yea we've had alot of good times and bad, but i hope the rest is all put to side now..

 

Wow great job. Not trying to start a flame fest but why the SSV?? IMO overpriced and you lose HP!! But anyways very nice job and post some numbers

 

haha yea the oh so powerful SSV.. I got it when it first came out back when it was backordered cause everyone was on the list for one. It really looks good at the shows but that's about it, i've noticed a little difference but have never dynoed my car yet so i'm just kind of going off of the butt dyno which isnt ****...

 

I envey you the time and ambition to go for all that work yourself. A big welcome to the forum! Sweet ride too.

 

thanks still alot more i want to do with it, but my biggest project i want to do is to be able to have a removeable hard top roof. I think that would be a first, i've never seen it done on a Z, just like that of a corvette coupe with a removeable hard top

 

I'll buy the service manuals if you're interested in selling them now that your done...

 

HAHA no way... I still plan on taking the motor all apart again probably next year to build my motor for the turbo, another project, but you can get your own service manuals at Nissan for $350
