can't wait. I need to be there for the dyno and first track session!

 

Here'what a parts room is supposed to look like!

 

Any one is welcome to go see it. Its probably gonna get done when Im on my next trip, thats if I can line it up right. It will have to be quick though I leave monday. I'm gonna have them go to the max of the clutch, a litte over 400WHP hoping 420+ but thats all depending on the JWT heavy duty clutch.

I'll run it as soon as I can. The parts room has over $6K of stuff getting stuffed in the car. HELLZ YEAH BALLZ DEEP BABY!!!!!

 

Headers? Anyone? Alphawerks headers 03 and upbrand new, you know you want em.

 

And its over the parts are no longer trickeling in. The last peice came in today. The vacuum manuifold. For all of you who were wondering about my previous post what the hell a vacuum manifold was. attached is a picture.

So now its all over but the install.

 

Damn I thought I was done but NOOOOOOOO, sure as hell not!

Im in the process of ordering the waste gate relocation setup that overZealous1 is selling. It seams bad @ss. It sets tha wastgates away form the heat sensitive parts. The best part it vents atmosphericly. If you wanna know what hell sounds like with out dieing you wanna hear a car dump to atmo. The devil him self speaks through them .

I know what a Grand National sounds venting to atmo, I about wet myself. Can't wait to hear the Z growl.

 

GN's are my specialty . I used to own an 86 GN, it was a boost hog. Freaking cars were way advanced for it's time and crazy fun to drive, especially at traffic light launches. 20psi boost all day long on pump gas and a drum of xylene - way cheaper than the local 100 octane, not quite as effective, but good enough. open wastegates are the shiyat!! sounded nice coupled up with the HKS SSQV I miss that car

 

My ex-father-in-law had an 84.5 GNX mean @ss car. Helped him work on it. he's got a cool *** scar from the car.

After a couple of hard runs he popped the hood and was reaching accros the engine compartment. his daughter, my future ex (at the time she was 6), starteled him and he lost his ballance and fell. hes got a burn on his fore arm. Its garret backwards. (spelling sucks) and you can see it clear as day.

They are mean cars, they squat when they launch and can run 11's all day.

 

Yah, those 84/85 TR's were wierd. I couldnt quite understand its turbo setup...but it's supposedly spools faster than the 86/87 cars...just with less power.

 

funny thing though. when I got the divorce, my ex-father-in-law disowned his daughter stil calls me son, ran off with the baby sitter.

 

Tuesday they are shipping the relocation kit out so it will be ready for install when I get back. SWEET!

 

So where we going when HRP closes in 2 months????

 

I havent the slightest clue. Word is that SCCA Solo-I has a site for their cone smashing events. I might just have to convert and be a conesmasher too. There's other tracks on the neighbor islands, but they're all Drag Racing tracks. There's a supposed to be plans coming up for a road circuit in Kona too...but it's in planning, no where near design phase yet. Our Kalaeloa site is being put on hold because of the bills that need to be passed to give investers tax credit on the construction of the new track as well as the other bill keeping the track open. till then...who knows? We know the drag racers have options...as for us roadracers? sucks to be us.

 

Maui has a SCCA Solo II track as well as a drag track. See http://www.mauiscca.org/ for details.

 

is this oilpan the one from ebay that costs like 120? or is it the real deals expensive stuff...PE, etc..?? been debating on getting the ebay pan....kinda scared of some ebay stuffs though.

 

kind of in back of Hypers? did they move back to their old location? if not, then they're all the way back of Hypers...as in republican street near the mc donalds on Nimitz. but yeah, they've been there for quite some time. just not sure if they moved back to their old location.

 

It was 150 or 160, but it was not name brand. It did have the exact bolt pattern as the factory pan. It was also level on all axis. So every thing seemed kosher(if you dont mind the phrase). I'm usualy a carful buyer and it was a good deal for the money.

Th only defect in casting were tiny bubles on the top of the baffles. Thats all so it seams great. Sold it to 636 before I left on my trip.

 

Should be any day my car gets to go for its install. I'm excited my wallet is scared as hell! I have great expectations for the final product.

After this I'm a little over half way done. Still got Level 5 half shafts, a Forged engine bored to 100mm, Tripple plate carbon clutch, Big brake kit, LSD, and roll bars. Yeah so I gots me a ways to go. But not loosing site and keeping on the path of the way of the Z.

 

Here you go. real tired. dont wanna type so here...

 

1 March my car goes in, nothing sooner. $1900 for the install . I'll see if I can get a good price on the AAM ECU reflash.
