Update on my S30!
Started to work on my engine, pulled off the top end to find... 5 out of 6 pistons working and corroded spark plugs. Replaced those and then went to work, as well I also relocated my battery from the engine bay.   New HKS Cams, new bearings, as well as a new single turbo exhaust manifold that my friend custom fabricated for me, and a new intake collector with much better airflow than the old one. Next up, the remaining fuel was drained from the car and the fuel system was overhauled, now setup to run 100 octane (Previous only allowed 95 and 98) New turbo got mounted up with not much space at all.  Intercooler and piping after a lot of cutting and retrofitting  Took bae out for a test drive    Took it for a dyno run and I'm now pushing 405HP to the rear wheels on low boost. That's a significant increase. Next on my list was some exterior work. I wanted to get lower so I sold my 18 inch CCWs and purchased identical CCWs in 17x9 in the front and 17x10 in the rear. Then I had my friend working on a carbon rear diffuser for me which looked stunning mounted. Once I lowered the car I realized I would have issues with the OEM exhaust system I was running, so we fabbed up a new one that sat 2 inches higher, and then a custom side exit exhaust to give even more ground clearance. I took it to the mountains and ran it hard, while my friend took some pictures.   I was having issues with the rear camber I was running (-6) and so I adjusted it down to -2.5 (Roughly) before taking it back out the next night.   and then a deer ran into the middle of the road.  It ran away afterwards, seeming nearly uninjured. My Z was not so lucky. Shit happens. Stay tuned for more progress. This post was edited by Haku (2015-01-28 16:39, ago) |
