Had to put the startup on hold since I only got my motor mounts and fluids in the evening. So I just finished fabricating my bash bar and ducting.

Still having issues. Everything is pretty much complete mechanically but the NATS and IPDM are locking me out of ignition. Waiting on my uprev cable to come in on Monday and I can disable the NATS and delete my IPDM. Then run fuses and switches to my fans, abs, fuel pump, etc. So close yet one final step behind.

Keep up the good work

Finally had the car back down and for a ride. I'm throwing a p0011 and trying to figure out what's at fault since I'm limited to 2300rpm..

Also 10 minutes into the drive I was creeping in the neighborhood over a speed bump and the clutch blew. So I ordered a single disc 6 puck clutch and lightweight flywheel from Z1 last night. Going to pull the trans on Sunday and replace it and figure out what's wrong with the timing. I swapped the VCT solenoids off the old motor into this one as well as the crank sensors.. Don't know what else I'm missing. Its on bank 1. I'll have to try and replace the VVEL solenoids and see if that does anything.

Heres probably why I had a cutoff. These are the vvel actuators and solenoids. I doubt the owner ever changed his oil. I'll have to reuse my actuators since these are probably fried

What that smell like?

Got my clutch in. I ordered some Billet Oil Pump Gears from RJM. Should save me from any starvation.

Also with today's black Friday sales I ordered my Buddy Club seat and I can start fabricating the hard mount rail and roll cage.

Got my color all sorted out and excited to give the Z a new paint.

I would like to see your Z in actual progress.

Oh Eric. Don't be cruel bahaha. You'll see it come to life very soon. Probably this next week and you might get to see it in person again.

Hey I love the build!

What Tow hook did you use before you started to turn it into a track car?

Happy Update!!

RJM Oil pump Gears went in

Had issues we couldn't figure out with spark and ended up figuring out that the cam phasers were on backwards. Fabricated seat rails and have been driving for the last 2 days. Everything is running flawlessly. Finally!

Now we go back to the track.... on Saturday
