so spun another rod bearing on my second motor and finally got a second car to DD and make the J30 official project car. building up a VG30DE with a mix match of J30 and 300zx parts. 90 NA block, 94 J30 10Y heads, 91 300zx 5spd cams, 95 J30 exhaust, 97 J30 lower plenum and fully custom upper intake with balance tube relocation and 60mm throttle bodies.

cleaning the trans, painting it and installing the solid shifter support.

interior got pulled completely cause i had a sunroof leak and carpet got mildew in it. also been pulling wiring out of the car for systems i dont need since going to 5spd and redoing the audio/electrical system. all interior pieces were cleaned and then re-dyed with a vinyl/carpet dye.

suspension is getting an overhaul as well. s13 poly bushings for the rear control arms, maxima shock cartridges for front coilovers and buying all my springs from Apexi for $60 a piece and doing 12k front and 10k rear.

took the spare wheel out of my trunk since it wont fit over my big brake kit up front. redesigning the floor of the trunk and creating a new sub box that will let my 12" sub operate better. bought a generic 1 cu/ft sealed box and after doing some calculations with specs online, the sub needs a 1.4 cu/ft box to operate efficiently.

here are some pics pf whats going on
