Message The past couple of days Tim was tinkering with my Z installing parts and the outcome was amazing besides the coolant leak we couldn't locate or access. I'm going to pull the plenum and install 300 degree fuel rails and Nismo 615cc injectors and hopefully have the room to get my hands in there and figure out where the leak is and fix it. I originally thought it was the turbo coolant hose above the transmission, which it wasn't. I pressurized the system and then we thought it was coming from the banjo bolt on the turbo, but apparently its spraying from somewhere onto the exhaust manifold and we cannot see it. Any ideas?

Anyhow, I spoke with Greg from Specialty Z a couple months ago and ordered a full three inch stainless steel exhaust system, sport clutch, and lightweight flywheel. Thanks for your advice, the exhaust sounds amazing! Tim installed the exhaust, clutch, flywheel, and one piece drive shaft laying on his back on my cold driveway. Thanks again man! I would have taken her to a shop if it wasn't for you driving up.

I removed the twin turbo decal and haven't gotten around to removing the adhesive it left behind. When she's road worthy, there will be a nice detailing shortly after.

When I wasn't giving Tim a hand I installed the Zspeedperformance solid shift mount kit and a Z1 premium shifter. What a difference the two made. Shifts are SOLID and smooth.

I still have a few parts to install before she's ready for a photo shoot.

Thanks Charles!

Tail lights are drive shaft are obviously installed already, and I'm not going to be using the springs. Rear upper control arms not pictured.

It sucked only being able to test drive her after everything was installed due to the coolant leak, but she sounds awesome and shifts flawlessly. I just installed a Z1 eprom and boost jets and couldn't believe the difference it made and then shortly after the leak arose. I can't wait until she's on the road and the clutch/flywheel is broken in.
