| Hey all - I bought my 1990 Z32 in the spring of 2022 from a fairly popular youtuber @PracticalEnthusiast. He bought it and completely rebuilt it back in 2017ish I think - https://www.jalopnik.com/heres-exactly-what-it-cost-to-buy-and-rebuild-a-nissan-1793172844/ this is his article, but I can't seem to find the page which includes his photos. Anyway, he has a 9 video series on his channel about it here https://youtu.be/ZDG1EABP_Ss?si=JKQ8x3k8i8ZGPZIe/ Needless to say, this car has had a lively past and I'm continuing it with my part of the build. My YouTube channel is here https://www.youtube.com/@TheHoggman/ The car already had some sensible mods. Intercoolers, Stock downpipes to 2.5" mid pipes and catback exhaust, Dual Pop, Selin Translator, 740 injectors, Sport Hybrid Turbos (similar to JWT500s), Stillen boost gauge, egr delete, and a couple other goodies here and there. What I did when I got the car was Akebono 370z brakes with 2 piece rotors and stainless lines all the way around, Hicas delete, 3" downpipes to full 3" exhaust (AMS, fit like garbage and had a fab shop fix it), Polar Engineering GTR Coils, Polar Engineering Valve Covers, Custom Catch Can, ASH Spec Intake. SZ E85 sensor, SZ Map Switcher ecu setup for E85, 485 fuel pump. I've ran 22psi on the e85 tune and it runs great! But I feel like it could be better, so here's what I'm planning/already purchased waiting on delivery. Polar Engineering ID1050 top feeds
Polar Engineering 62mm throttle bodys
Polar Engineering Fuel Pump Hangar - dual walbro 485s
Polar Engineering Turbo Manifolds
Polar Engineering 3" Downpipes recirc
Polar Engineering Heater pipes
Polar Engineering 3" Intake
BDE Low Pro Engine Mounts
BDE Adjustable Int and Exh cam gears
GT25-660 Turbos
TurboSmart 45 Wastegate
EPR Solid Timing Belt Tensioner
JWT500 Hyd Cams
JWT Valve Springs
Titanium Retainers
ARP 2000 Head Studs
Bronze Valve Guides This is all with a stock bottom end engine, mind you. So I'll probably cap it around 650whp on the SZ chip for a while before going stand-alone. My only questions are what clutch should I go with? Uniclutch looks legit or SZ's High 5, but I'm open to other options. Also, should I get the heads CNC ported by EPR? Thoughts? I haven't seen a post like this in a while, nor have I posted in forever, so I figured I'd throw my hat into the fire. thanks, pics for attention
