Here is my 'project' car. One day my dream car after I spend a lot of money on it.

Some of you may have seen it (me and my husband) on Saturday at Racepace

Place looks familiar! Seriously listen to these dudes on here / same thoughts as me on the engine build.

First new oil pump, sump mods, water pump, fuel pump - then look at turbo's, exhaust, new engine loom and ecu, intercooler, radiator, oil cooler before opening engine and filling it full of aftermarket stuff. IIRC your car is spot on compression wise.

yes and no....

would be silly to upgrade oil pump and not do custom drains and restrictors... might as well just not put oil in the thing :P

I

Saw it on aus-vip

Winner with black leather, any mods planned?

Haha, of course!

Already got VS-XX coming and trying to make up my mind on what suspension to use to go a little lower.

I've also bought a K-break grill and now doing research on whether it's easier to fit Z33 brembos or z34 Akebonos :D

To which car? I just sold a set of Akebono's as I didn't want to run 19/20's.

Edit: Just clicked the link.

Are they the same brakes as the 350z touring?

I don't know, I've only just started reading stuff.

Over in the US, they've put both brembos and akebonos on these cars but I'm not sure how much modding needed to happen. I also read some people over there were having some success with fitting the CZ Performance Akebono conversion kits for z33. Again, not really sure if they were bolt-on or not.

Yep!

Also people under-estimate certain OEM parts.

And do the short cut round.

Oh nice will look good by the sounds of it!

Was hoping to go a full k-break kit for my majesta, but those $$$$$ :P

Yea, K break make nice looking kits with price to suit but they're a lot cheaper than Junction Produce. Love the JP kit for the y34s but they're way too expensive :P

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
