  1. Something happened.

     

    I wasn't ready for this, luckily  my wife is understanding :lol:

     

    i was planning on building my own TT kit next year (Thanks to ChrisDrift on YouTube for the walk through and inspiration :))  but I jokingly said to TT350Z that I would buy his TT kit if he stripped his car, He wouldn't strip his car but he did offer to sell me the entire car - so I bought it :doh:

     

    And here we have both Zeds together outside the JDMWhore's soon to be new home :)

    its a bit rough, but I only want it for the TT Kit and Forged engine :teeth: everything else will be for sale and the shell will probably get scrapped - unless someone wanted to make a generous offer on a rusty rolling shell :lol:

    I believe the spec of the engine is - hopefully Adrian @Torqen can confirm this as I believe the block came from him.

     

    Wiseco Pistons .020 over
    Eagle/SCAT H Beam Rods
    ARP Rod Bolts
    ARP VQ35 Main Stud Kit
    Ceramic/Moly Piston Coating
    Block inspected and cleaned
    Block re-decked
    Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate
    Block water passage cut for HR Head gaskets
    Rotating assembly balanced
    Crank magna-fluxed and the journals micro-polished
    New Moly coated Race Spec main bearings installed
    New Moly coated Race Spec rod bearings installed
    Block prepped and assembled

     

    Power Enterprise TT kit

     

    and should be good for 650whp, which I wont get to without bigger turbos. but if i can get a reliable 500whp then I will be very happy :)

     

    Once the garage floor has been sorted then I can start removing things and get the engine out and on the stand to be tarted up a bit and checked over along with the turbos.

  2. Less than a week after buying it back, I ordered a new exhaust setup.

    * Tomei Titanium Y-Pipe

    Quite honestly, this was stupid. I like my cars to be loud but even by my standards this was ridiculous. I was embarrassed to drive it and my Mrs hated it.

     

    The car spent a year parked up outside my parents house whilst we saved for a house. Once we had finally moved into our new house, I chucked a new battery on it, gave it a service and a Cobra (i think) exhaust and I was back on the road.

     

    I've toyed with selling it over the past few months due to the impending birth of our first child in February - but I haven't found anything that I want for the money I would have to spend. My wife though, is keen for me to rekindle my passion for cars and to have a project to get my teeth in to :teeth:

     

    Once my garage has been finished, its time to start the project :) At the moment I am leaning towards another supercharged build, however I do still have some 2JZ parts left over :ninja:

    So, shortly before selling my car I had a photo shoot done for Japanese Performance magazine.

    After selling my Z, I went through a number of cars (R34 GTR, R33 GTR, Supra TT, 2JZ 350Z, Impreza STI, R33 GTR, R33 GTR again!, Integra DC5.

     

    Then in August 2016, I decided that I had to have another Z but not just any Z - I wanted my Z. Luckily the person I had sold it too still had it, although he wasn't looking to sell it - I made an offer that was accepted and I picked it up for the second time at the end of August.

    At this point, it still had the DC headers fitted, it also had Berk HFC's and Invidia Gemini Exhaust - everything else was standard..................................................

    Shame not a lot of cars selling at the moment, looks like a nice example with a few nice mods! 

     

    Sorry to go off topic but I'm after a double din unit head unit, would you recommend one like in your Z? 

    Definitely reccomend it, They arent the cheapest but they do everything you need :)
