Tank. Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 You are going to love the speedhuts, I have them in my Z and plan on running them in the 620. The tach is super easy to tune to work, as is all of their stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Not a ton of updates but I am making progress lol trying to get all the body work done and get it into primer. Then I can put it back together and get it to the dyno. 5 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Not to shabby for having to do most of it in the driveway lol 4 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 It's been so hot I have to wait for the sun to go down to spray anything. 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 Actually sprayed out good being done in the dark 😂 that's the bulk of the body work done and in primer. Just doing some touch up spots on body work and the hatch/doors left. 7 Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Still plugging away. Scored a cleaner set of doors and some bumpers locally. Waaaay better than my rust and bog filled doors. Also revamping the fuel system to work better with the MS, got some 630cc EV14 injectors, a new rail, aeromotive fpr and a new 225 pump coming. 7 Quote Link to comment

Higher rate so using less of the duty cycle but mostly they will jive better with tuning on the megasquirt. Have to change the rail for them and also upgrading the pump and FPR to some more consistent performing pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted July 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Slowly making progress. It's been over 110f every day so only have small windows to do work. Got the new door strait and primed and got all the new fuel system stuff in. But the brackets for the rail are for a stock manifold and mine is totally shaved so need to make some brackets. 5 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Sorry if this was already mentioned, but did the PO swap on a 280Z hood? Keeping it for vented purposes? Quote Link to comment

Skib Posted September 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 got the doors jambed today but ran out of blocking paper so I didn't get the outsides painted today like I had hoped. but I did get a bunch of the rubbers in. both 1/4 windows rebuilt, hatch rubber in and the door frame rubber in. 7 Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 This makes me miss my old 240! Fun times with the engine swap, I still watch the video you made and makes me smile. Looks good and a decent one to start. Keep it up, the value of these things will keep going up especially with the new Retro Z. Quote Link to comment
