RX-7 seat with G-Force 5-point camlock harness. The RX-7 seat has a lower base, larger sidebolsters, and weighs ~half as much as the stock Z seat.

The harness holds me tightly so I can use my arms and legs to drive the car rather than hold myself in it.

FINALLY the build is ready to begin! Just picked up my new longblock from Kyle Puckett (famed Z32 engine builder) and hope to have car on the road with the new setup by the end of the year.

Started working on the engine a bit more. Installed the cams and oil pan along with a few other misc items. Getting ready to order a pair of GT2860RS's to hang off of this thing and see what kinda power she puts down.

Stay tuned...

The multi-colored hardtop Z is now destined for track duty.


Here is my new 1990 Super White 300ZX Twin Turbo! Purchased July 16th 2011, it is already becoming a nice tribute to the old Z.

I will be recreating my previous Twin Turbo Z as closely as possible with a few improvements here and there. I searched off and on for the last 3.5 years to find a car that was worthy (clean enough) and priced right to start my new build. I finally found the car and it was in town! This car looked a bit rough due to the trashed interior and cloudy paint but the body was in great shape with only 4 dents on the entire car, one is on the hood and one on the fender. I have a straight hood and both fenders that will be painted and installed leaving the car with only 2 dents. It truly is in wonderful shape for a 21 year old machine. The odometer just rolled past 145,000 and the car is bone stock except for an intake, this is a nice blank canvas for me.

These were taken on my first visit to see/drive the car.

My first TT had black/grey interior so the red will have to go.

The stock shifter bushings were not installed when the clutch was recently replaced leaving a sloppy stick. I machined some tight bushings out of delrin and installed the short shifter from the Slicktop. I now have the tightest/shortest shifter I've ever felt in a Z, it's perfect.

This is how the car currently looks. Thanks for the wheels Doug! These will be relegated to track duty after I mount tires on the OTHER wheels. ;)

I found an original set of black '90 floormats. Only the 1990 had "300ZX" while the other years and all replacement mats have just "Z" as the logo.
