Message Well here I am, 9.5 months after purchasing my Z, it's finally nearing the time when it will be prowling the streets again. Bought the car, it was hit in the front (minor). I thought I'd get away with a cheap TT, but noooo. The auto tranny was all welded together inside, the turbos were seized, and the engine had leaks galor.. So almost 10 months and about $5,000, here it is.. still not done. Still waiting on some rod bearings and seals to come in. Anyways, I'll cut to the pics.. hope you enjoy!

Left side engine shot

some auto tranny parts

Ah, yes.. the blessed auto tranny

Something missing…?

It sure did have an oil leak.. see how much more clean the left side is? i.e. black vs. silver

Might need this.. tail end of the tranny

And the best part – My turbos :) You can see how much bigger these sport 500s are over stock (not the housing, just the internals, like compressor wheel and such) So they're not huge.. but they're better than stock lol

Another month or so and I'll have my 400+rwhp Z on the road :) Updates will keep coming.. Got the head covers, timing belt cover, balance tube, and more done in a bright blue/red theme. Everyone have a nice night!

Kez
