I think the guy that bought it from me actually wound up blowing the AP2 trans, though I never really had any issues, provided I was careful with shifting. I think a cryo treated AP2 trans would hold up pretty well.

The diff is pretty easy. There's a guy now that will reinforce the casing and cryo treat the gears pretty inexpensively. I actually had the diff from a 300ZX twin turbo mounted up on my build.

Realistically, it's never going to be as reliable as something off the showroom floor though. I spent most evenings tightening bolts and making sure everything was working right-- things most people don't really want to do with their cars. I didn't have the time to play with it anymore, which is how I would up with the Z.

Yeah, I found out a lot cheaper, and a lot younger, with a 5.0 mustang fox-body that a modded car was just more headache than it's worth unless you spend SERIOUS money on it. When you quadruple hp output though, it's just out the window no-matter what.

Yeah, you usually don't mod a car to these levels because it makes sense, it's more to accomplish something or push the limits of a platform. To be fair, it ran 9's and trapped well over 140 consistently, which is a pretty impressive accomplishment.

So was it sold to a guy in Alberta Canada? I jusT bought a bunch of G35 parts off a local guy because he bought a 700 hp S2000 his description sounded similar to this...and he blew the tranny last fall.

Yeah, probably him. I think he had a bunch of turbo parts for a g35 that he totaled.

Yep that is him, he blew the tranny and I heard he was putting a smaller turbo on it as well.

Awesome build. Takes a whole lot of dedication to build something like this by yourself and keep up with it.
