PEZi720 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Just wanted to introduce myself... I have no idea how how I've missed this place until now but I've been on NICO/ ODPL for a little while now. I'm from colorado and I have 720 with the Z24 motor that I use as a daily driver and autocross car. I have a custom paintjob on it with tinted tails and corners along with a 2.5" drop in the front and 2" drop in the rear. Mods are: custom cut airbox with k&n filter k&n breather pacesetter headers magnaflow high flow cat magnaflow resonator custom exhaust piping pulstar pulse plugs fully stripped interior spare tire delete... bumper delete etc. and many more little things here and there Coming up sometime relatively soon I will be doing a "while I was in there" project. I need to replace the timing chain tensioner and along with that I will go ahead and do: port and polished KA head custom cam... new valves and springs and such forged KA rods and pistons 44mm mikuni side draft carbs and an overhauled fuel system to run E85 and a new clutch It won't be done until I can afford it and I have no idea when that will be. Other than that... Hi everyone! And here are a few pics... the tires are different than in the pics but I don't have any new pics of them yet! Quote Link to comment

PEZi720 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 underhood is currently quite embarassing... i guess its not bad apart from the vacuum mess but i want my damn mikuni side drafts!!!! Quote Link to comment

yello620 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Looks good, nice to see a truck getting used at the autocross:D I gotta ask about the name PEZi720, Does it have anything to do with PEZ candy dispensers? Quote Link to comment
LCDC Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 PZi720, welcome to the forum. Sorry I'm late in the game. Saw your post last week on NICO about lowering trucks. A friend was asking me about having to use a camber kit when you do lower them, so I did some research and saw your article on NICO. Love your truck. Love how everthing is black, including the turn signals. Nice truck. Welcome to the forum. :D Quote Link to comment

I took out the 2 bolts on each side and added 4 washers, brought it back in. Tho i think 4 were to many.... Quote Link to comment

PEZi720 said all you have to do is reindex the control arm bushings once you lower it. My 74 is stock heighth right now, but since I put my fatties on it, i'm gonna drop it down. But wheels already are towed in at the top, but amazingly enough I'm not wearing out the inside of my tires. It might be the front end, but my KC has a better turning radius then this one.

Yeah I've not really heard anyone come out in support of the Z head for performance applications. I've not really heard much discussion on the Z head at all. It is a smog era/designed motor. Which means it gets dismissed or it is just not a good head.:lol: My 200sx is a Z20e. I am very interested to find if these heads are capable and just overlooked. I was curious about using the KA head if that's possible, idk. Your post was the first mention of it I've seen. Quote Link to comment

PEZi720 Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I gotta ask about the name PEZi720, Does it have anything to do with PEZ candy dispensers? haha... no but i do get that a lot it's actually just a nickname i got back in high school Yeah I've not really heard anyone come out in support of the Z head for performance applications. I've not really heard much discussion on the Z head at all. It is a smog era/designed motor. Which means it gets dismissed or it is just not a good head.:lol: My 200sx is a Z20e. I am very interested to find if these heads are capable and just overlooked. I was curious about using the KA head if that's possible, idk. Your post was the first mention of it I've seen. yeah i figured the KA would hold the power and be easier to work with in the end so why not... i'll have to use the KA engine cover as well of course which i kinda like the look of to everyone else thanks again for the warm welcome... i should have my comp back up and running tomorrow unless the harddrive is toast and i'll be posting a bit more!
