Shifter in, crazy wiring mess.

Why were you taking a picture up my pants? Fag

sweet car. cant wait to see it.

theres a kid in day class at my school doing this to a 300Z. its a little behind you tho. yours seems to be going much smoother. r u retaining hte original fuel tank rear end/stuff?

Even though I’m not a fan of the swap, it’s great to see an FD running!

Stock fuel tank, even using a stock return line (not necessary, but I wanted the FPR in the front). Basically everything in the rear end is stock. Driveshaft is custom. Adding a torque arm to control the diff. That’s about all.

All I’ve got for now…

Wow awesome progress. ETA to finish?

ZING!

ETA is ASAP. Ordering a fuel fitting right now from summit to fix a leak…then I have more wiring to do and a million minor issues to track down. Plus an alignment, an exhaust, new tires, putting the interior in…

Did you have Sasha get the title notarized for you? Or did you get it done some other way?

Title just came in the mail today. I sent it to the previous owner and he had it notarized. Should be able to register it tomorrow or Thursday (DMV extended hour days).

cam, and true duals :headbang:

Damn, how have i been missing this thread. Great work, gonna be a sweet whip when its set. :tup:

Brent got some stuff done yesterday. The driveshaft is now temporarily bolted up to the diff, but we need to get different bolts to do it for good. And we finally got the grease gun to fit in the u-joint, so now the driveshaft is well lubricated. The torque-arm is confusing, but we think we understand it now. Getting it on, may be a different story.

We also pulled the dash back out, so that wiring can be finished, and then the interior re-installed, for the last time. A bunch of little things now, but its coming to an end shortly, I guarantee.
