Stony Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I had a guy Pm me from another sight suggesting power was down (not accurate) because of the way the car sounded under acceleration. So here is some tidbits. 1. running power glide not a 4 or 5 speed 2. 31 inch et streets. not street tires that will break free very easy. 3. Shifted WAYYY before it got crazy. You can actually hear the tires break loose right before I shifted (around 7K redline is 9500). Sorry if its a boring video.... it was fun making it :> Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Not sure if you can call it progress but…. Removed the converter for one last attempt at a stall. Going balls to the wall with a 7+K stall and see if that helps with getting the turbo to spool. Have lots of wiring cleaning up to do here. Also removed ATI damper to get timing marks laser cut. Yea the old ones didn’t come with timing marks WTF??? Also redid the install on the NOS solenoids and nozzle and installed them under the manifold so I don’t have that huge mess on top. Its all underneath now!! Before After Also redid some wiring behind the dash so removing the dash doesn’t involve snipping wires. Quote Link to comment

Stony Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Well i finally completed something i have been putting off forever. Wiring. its not all done BUT all i really have to do is run wires (14 to be exact) and clean up the engine harness under the dash and its done. This is the first time time i have ever attempted something like this. Probably wont do it again either. VERY TIME CONSUMING!!! Also got the NOS nozzle installed. Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sat down, well laid down in the car and got just about everything wired up. Just need to do the nitrous circuit and the chassis harness. Also got in all my certified tranny shields. Only thing left is my flez plate and its in the mail ;> Quote Link to comment

Stony Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Got my new flexplate in today and installed it. Trans in Had to put this belt in before I put the center tunnel in. Center tunnel in Shifter in. I’m going to try and get the dash in tomorrow. Also need to finish installing torque converter bolts. Then do A LOT of cleanup before final wiring. Quote Link to comment

Stony Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 First time the z has had both seats and seat belts that are actually bolted in since i have owned the car. (15 years) Quote Link to comment
Stony Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 For some reason I cant post videos??? any way if you would like to see the latest video of the Z on the track search "RB26 Datsun 260z 10.2 @ 142mph" for the latest video of our trip to the track. There is a top end video on facebook on Monster-Perfomance page. If anyone knows how to post videos now let me know. I used to just cut and paste the link but that doesn't work. Quote Link to comment
