CALLING RON: stop by my house tomorrow and help me bleed my clutch, it's back at the floor again..... freaking Nissan clutch lines http://serve.mysmiley.net/fighting/fighting0015.gif

I'm on the Northside, Spring.

Don't they make a stainless steel clutch line for the Z34?

Ron 04-25-2012 11:39 PM

Yeah he has one. Comes with every Zspeed CSC. The system is just a pain to bleed!

O&G 04-26-2012 12:01 AM

Scott at vivid was a pleasure to work with. He sent over the VQ37 block and even threw in some subaru N/A heads, random valves, retainers, cams, a phone cord and some home interior LED lights LOL. All for $300 shipped. Felt like a bought a storage locker :)

Any updates? It's been so long!

O&G 10-03-2012 10:55 AM

Just been enjoying the Z, stomping around town @ 11 psi making people mad! JTran is going to Cali next week to talk to the people @ Motec, trying to see if we can get a stand alone from them and crack this cam signal since none else cares about it. Car runs great but it would run even better w/ a full standalone. SEMA in November, weather is turning great for boost down here, I'll throw her on the dyno in the next few weeks and get some decent numbers w/ this Texas fall weather.

I'm also looking around for a crank so we can start assembling my built bottom end. I've been trying to save some money over these past few months!

Hope your enjoying that snake bro :)

Good to hear. I can't wait to see a built motor + single turbo. :driving: Are you going to SEMA?

Haven't enjoyed the snake since June, but hopefully it will be returning in a couple weeks!

Check my journal...I spun 2 rod bearings. Motor should be done Friday and hopefully pick up the car next weekend.

I wish I could join you at SEMA. I've always wanted to go.

10-29-12 video update
 
A few GoPro shots from 98intrigues camera, still getting use to using it. I'm going to do a night run tonight in the tunnel that runs under the ship channel. I want to capture the sound this kit makes :)

Mr&Mrs 10-29-2012 05:18 PM

I want tunnel video!

98intrigue 10-29-2012 08:25 PM

Make sure you're in the highest resolution to get the full widescreen.

Try with the windows all the way up. Also, try mounting it in the bottom left inlet of the bumper like this

Just behind the gas cap

Like your video, but with the window up

Repped good sir, exactly what I was looking to do. I wasn't feeling the blacked out look!

98: thanks for the vids and tips. I'll be sending the camera back Wednesday as I'm putting the car back in the shop tomorrow to upgrade to a 6567 turbo, fix exhaust leak, etc... I'll be purchasing the new GoPro for sure, can't thank you enough for letting me borrow it and become familiar with it, great product! I'll leave some beer money in the return package :driving:

This is a short clip of a 1-3 pull 0-60:

This is the tunnel I found in Houston, was super pumped.

You're welcome, man. I'm still pissed we missed out on having 2 custom single turbo 370Zs up at ZDayz this year.

turbo is off and being sent to Comp. for a rebuild to 7065. pistons, rods, head studz and gaskets ordered. Stillen headers on order to construct new turbo manifolds. they will be coated and wrapped. Another wastegate on order, running duels now. Sold my Work equips to help fund the project. back to the stock 40th wheels. going big in the fourth quarter! car will be down for few weeks, building bottom end in house, super excited to help put together my first VQ! No labor cost too! winning!!

Good luck with your build! What compression are you going with? No head/cam work?

O&G 11-02-2012 08:24 AM

goin for 600whp so I don't think head work is necessary. Ill make the final decision when everything is taken apart, VVEL tuning is looking promising. Just a simple stout build. Lowered the compression to 10:1. Dropping motor, fab new hotside piping then build bottom end. Fab and waiting on parts will consume the most time. Motor aassembly just a day or so.

Nice! Good luck and looking forward to this build!!!!
