| I started buying up parts when my Z died in 9/01. Here is the low down by my point of view. There is quite a few things that will come up that you where not expecting, like finding cracks in your Turbo's Exhaust housing, replacing your heater core becuase you pulled apart the entire dash replacing your EFI harness, things of this nature. Waiting for FedEx to arrive with your parts so you can get one more thing done this weekend before you call up COZ for the 400th time with another list of 20 things you need. If you *need* to have the Z running by Monday have a clip sitting right beside it and about 3 or 4 guys knowledagble (sp) with the Z32 helping, buy them beer after it's working, btw. But in all reality me and my Father have put in around 175-200 Hours so far and I'm still looking at a empty engine bay. It all depends on how far you want to go with your conversion, and if you going with all new parts or used parts. Do you mind using some bolts from Ace Hardware or want the Nissan bolts? Do you mind bending your AC lines to fit or smacking the crap out of your P/S fender well to fit the clutch bleeder line, or do you want everything to be absolutly perfect and correct. If your the ladder like I am, then be prepared to come in 200% over budget and time. This is just my experience. Also note that I only get to work on the Z about 1 day a month or so. Hope this helped you somewhat. CowBoy
