Geting shit done finally

Finally got my hands dirty with the z, like my plan earlier i decided to test my inside electrical and come to find out unexpectedly everything works...from the blinker down to the wipers everything works...so that saves me some cash, thank god!!
So pulled the l series motor out last night, came up 90 bucks with all the stuff taken off. other than that i pulled all those un-needed vac lines along with the ac since im not going to use the a/c system towed the car halfway to the gas station where there was a pressure washer and had to jack the car up and unbolt the driveshaft
some progress pics

                                                                    

that motor was pretty straight forward taking it out, man i was like damn i wish the sr20 would be this easy putting it in lol

                                          Jean claude van-damn that's cleaner than earlier lol

  the engine bay is soooo much cleaner than it was...glad i took the time to tow it down to the gas station to get it cleaned. It was worth it.

Next will be getting the mounts this coming paycheck which is the 7th so waiting will be the key again because i hear the wait is like 2 weeks...Need my damn school money soon this is getting ridiculouso

Nothing new just BSing

Nothing new with the z just remembering what cars i've had through the years...lol i only have pictures of 3/6 though lol
Recent to old

The Z of course

                                                                          The Lexus

Flares!

So I bought the z flares, they look pretty clean im prolly not gonna put them on for awhile like jan. or feb. cuz I wanna go big when I get the wheels.
-Hayashi
-ccw

you get the picture..I was going to buy some diamond stars but idk....maybe for some temps 200 for all four isn't a bad price at all!

Couldn't help myself

Found some zg flares from zproductions store on craigslist he wanted $250 but the guy was nice enough to lower it down to $220 those things are usually 250 plus shipping. I know i should be buying stuff for the z to be out and running but they are more expensive usually so i went for it

Comes with flares
screws
rubber studs

some pics from his car ill have them tommorrow

I need to slow down on these parts i don't really need.. But if these great deals keep coming out of nowhere imma be looking nice, parked in the garage lol

Got the sr!

Alright so i did the down and back to california for that motor...
that guy was pretty cool motor is clean as fuck, can't wait to get the motor running...Drive was long so we stopped at the beach to kick it took a few pics whatever. motor was heavy as hell, for a 4 cyl lol

So i've got alot of parts to get before i get this beyotch on the road so it's probably gonna be alot longer than mid october...
So I am going to try to do a better checklist than the one i've had lol shit sucks. Usually i have trouble with money now im going to be having trouble with time. I really want the datsun out on the road by october 29th for a meet so maybe ill do that..
Tommorrow im going to check the electrical on the datsun, gonna make sure everything is okay in the interior

Hahah hector hella sleeping on and from the way to cali.. He kept his mouth open so i put sunflower seeds in his mouth hahah when he woke up dude fuckin acted like nothing was going on haha..

seen a slammed as mazda "Cali Swag"

Cali bound tommorrow

Going to cali tommorrow to pick up the sr.
Lol i had a plan, since i didn't have any tools at all (compressor, hoise, power washer) my good friends step dad has. Was gonna take the carb'd motor out using his hoist, then pressure wash the engine bay and then use the hoist to put the sr in the z..everything was like a glorious rainbow...
but day before that was supposed to happen my dingaling ass friend got into an arguement and now i can't use none of the shit...That's sooooo whack! so now i have to figure out this and that and im not trying to spend money on tools i need for the swap. i want to spend money on parts i need for the swap..
Maybe i can get in good with the step dad lol...i hope he would let me us it. so now i am sourcing out all that shit now..whack!

Anyways i took some of the faded parts that were black and spray painted them with the same type of spray paint i used for the fmic..it should come out nicely

Hector bought a ej1

Hector my friend with the ef sedan, Sold the sedan and then bought a eg coupe. looks pretty clean to me
nice and blue...
It's going to be a good starting platform for him hopefully nothing goes wrong with it

Update to the z, im still looking for a 280z fuel tank since mine was rusted and busted lol.
Planning on taking the motor out on Friday, I am going to make a run to the junk yard after and see if i can find a 280z fuel tank and a electric fan for my radiator from a benz or a bmw hopefully..

I got bored and painted the fmic black, Im not really to into that whole show that your car is turbo by a big fat ass fucking intercooler core so everybody can see it...That's too much attention lol

Here's where the z sits now.
Im also waiting on my buddy to let me know if i can hitch a ride to carson so i can finally go get that motor....shit!

Vid of my sr

So the guy im buying the sr20 from on the zilvia forums sent me a video of him drifting the sr
I thought i was pretty cool so i thought i'd share...

Thanks ketsupp

Found an sr20det

Searched and searched zilvia.net and finally found a sr20det for sale.
I was soo close to buying a 1jz motor and try to schroung around for a bellhousing and a r154 but thought about it and the sr20 is a complete set it cost a pretty penny but well worth it only thing i need to find is a fmic and it'll start right up..
Going to cali later in the month to go buy it and bring it back to place in the z
Some teasers

Man i can't wait to get my hands on that thing seems like my build is finally going along

just a few lil things nothing big right now
btw i had bought some datsun fender mirrors for the pickup trucks though those jdm ones are like 300 bucks...thats a hell no
there straight from tailand only 40 bucks..only downside is the waiting period like 40 days lol

Triple A sucks but i finally started getting my hands dirty

So i finally got around to towing the car to the house, well my friends house. he has air tools there so i usually just go over to his house to do anything that involves projects.
I had used my brothers triple a the night before and after about a 2 hour wait the guy shows up and says yeah i can't tow the car because its not registered. I was like wtf just tow the bitch dude, but whatever came back the following morning with the plates from the sc300 and try and tow it again, get there and another driver is like no i can't tow it sorry because your not the card holder..What the fuck ever so i towed it using my buddies durango and a trailor from uhaul.

Got it to my friends house and man i took a few looks at it again, it's a pretty nice shell i think i got a good no a great deal on it. I even got the full polyurethane bushing kit with the car and 2 service manuals.

So pulled the bumpers off front and back selling those
did some cosmetic fixing of the doors, only had enough time to fix the hatch door it was just a little off.
and dropped the fuel tank I need to buy a surge tank along with a 280z fuel tank
dropped the stock exhaust and took off some of the crap in that dusty motor

Junkyard time

I wanna try and do my build in sections
-Taking the l28 out/ prep for the sr20
-Fuel system
-Assuring the sr is physically fit
-Putting the sr in and mount
-Harness
-Cooling system
-Intercooler piping and hoses
And if i have any extra money buy some zg flares, airdam, coilovers and etc accessories
