Project 450WHP Z

Has been sidetracked waaayy too much.. Here are some pics of what I have been building.. A 93 240sx Turbo with a 99+ Silvia conversion.. And one of 2 VW corrado's G60.. And the farthest I have gotten with the Z is the turbo motor going in fully assembled minus the altenator and electric water pump.. And the hood removed {waiting for J}.. I also have to put doors on it that I bought, oh and I bought a house.. That set me back a **** load.. Damn funiture !! So prob sometime next week I will be pulling the motor/tranny and putting the doors on then towing it down the following week to a budy's body shop to have it painted caddy pearl white.. Then the motor will be dropped in ASAP.. well I will keep you updated

Well tell your buddy nice conversion then. Hey is that the KA still in there? Doesn't look like the SR but I'm no expert . Nice turbo though. And those look like the 180SX taillights also if I'm not mistaken. Very nice. Very nice indeed.

Yeah The tail lights are actually from Japan off of a silvia.. Everything on the body is authentic.. He called someone in Japan and said he had a customer that wrecked there 99 Silvia and then hand laid the rear fiber glass to make it wider.. It does have the stock KA but had a nice T/4 T/3.. But it is only running 7PSI now and the wastegate is venting atmosphere oops.. Cant wait for the Z to be done
