PSI always starts off low until it warms up and you start driving it.

 

I guess it does.

I'm in my 2015 silverado and just watched it when I left from a light. Not as drastic as my z tho.

Silverado 5.3 V8: 40 - 60 PSI

350 DE: 40 - 100 PSI

during normal acceleration.

 

If anyone in SoCal has a black OEM hood Im looking to buy one.


Trying to stay on budget tho. HMU!

 

Does anyone know where or if you can buy/replace these head light leads?

Both driver and pass bulb connections are busted. Other than these 2 connections the harnesses are fine.

Please tell me you can pick up these bulb connections with it having to source a whole new harness..

 

Welcome back, i don't know why but i really do like those seats, its a shame Nissan couldn't have done something to the plain black leather seats.
For light fittings, I'd try a breakers.

 

Yea I got them figured out. They are busted but luckily functional.

But yea I love the seat colors too, especially on black. They are actually the only reason I took a second look at the car at auction since it was a drop top. My only complain with them is the mesh is rough, you hear and feel it scratch your pants and shorts when you slide out of the car. They feel great sitting but they are probably the roughest seat material I've sat on in a car lol

 

Ok not my god dam window on the passenger side stopped working.

It works with the outside key function. But both driver and passenger side window levers don't make it move.

So that rules out a dead motor or a dead panel. I know it has the roll down feature for drop tops but why the f doesn't it work at all now aside from using the key. Again a first time issue with this.

 

Got bored last night and threw on the front bumper and drilled the QD bumper tabs.. They actually work a ton better than I expected.

Idk about at high speeds but for daily driving and sitting these hold this pretty well.



Super dirty from the light rain we got and a half azzed pic. But it's there. Install and drilling wasn't as bad as I thought. One bracket is still in the was in the left side. But I don't wanna break off the one time use plastic tabs. Cause I'm sure they are $90000 from Nissan.

 

Semi updated pic.

She's fully operational again. Street ready and legal again. Now just waiting on my DMV registration to come in. Then can dive into the mods and extra TLC.



Not bad for a $2,500 Z

 

Little update.. a lots been getting done but I've kind of been neglecting this build thread..

Anyways my buddy and I did a little canyon chase. His Miata vs my 350 this morning..

Azusa canyon Hwy 39.. didn't get much footage of the runs but have a couple snap shots and quick clips..









Then he threw a rod on our last run.

 

Took her to my local brake and light inspection center. Passed with flying colors

 

Some things never change




Always in the Nissan family

 

B14's went in last night






Old vs new



OEM struts and springs are still good. Some of the bushings are aged and crumbling. Might resell these. Lot of life left still even with the aged bushing

 

Made some wheel blocks today so I can actually get the jack under the car with coils now....

 

Keep hearing some squeaks from the coils...



Went back under to tighten them. I noticed it's from installing and bolting them in when only one side of the car is jacked and lifted putting flex on the chassis. Even getting the bolts to line up is impossible.

When lifted from center everything goes in so smoothly and no squeaks when set back down and driven.

That's what took my install so dam long was I was fighting chassis flex

 

Boost prepping... Changed the plugs and injectors... Boost should be done by next weekend.









Left the plugs at stock gap tho.. Too much conflicting info on the forums.

 

Nice little parts pile building up...
