Josh K. Posted August 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Over on my Instagram page I'm building my wife a 280z with the same level of build quality (even better). Check it out. It's gotten completely out of control but if you followed my build here you know that's par for the course.. Edited August 13, 2023 by Josh K. 5 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Ken Block's Hoonicorn used a Sadev transmission which cost about $40k. And to get it to fit in the car, the driveshaft was literally bent around the driver's seating position. 1 Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted July 3 Author Report Share Posted July 3 Unfortunately this car is being sold. The paint got wrecked by moisture and so I decided to do a second, full restoration including complete rebuild of the motor with forged pistons and new turbo. It now has a complete ceramic coated exhaust from head to tip. Every nut and bolt were touched, everything painted and detailed and even added power steering. It's time to move on to my other two projects and let this one live its life in new hands. 1 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Well it looks great, for the second time! Sorry to see it go. Glws! 1 Quote Link to comment
Josh K. Posted July 3 Author Report Share Posted July 3 (edited) Don't feel bad for me. Along with building the wife's RB20DET powered 280z I'm also getting ready to build an RB26DETT powered S13 that I'm converting to GTR AWD drivetrain with 650whp... So there's that.

pidge Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Nice car man. I particularly like the black chrome (I think that’s what it is) intake runners. Haven’t seen that done before myself. Nice touch. -Pidge Quote Link to comment
