Your darn right I did, no more rust out of those bad boys. I love fabricating, it makes the car feel more personal. ---

I made a big step in my project today. I have electrical. I am so happy, I turned off my garage radio and listened to my car stereo for an hour with a big smile on my face.

Did the Kouki Z31s come with the same steering wheel as the S13 or did you swap that in? ---

Naw thats from a s13. It is in good shape and the z’s steering wheels are really ugly. I will go aftermarket when I have some extra money for little things like that. ---

I took some pics of my work today. Polished the intake a little more and fabricated some stuff it included cutting and tacking all me intercooler pipes and welding my wastegate plumbing. I also built a new bumper that my intercooler and oil cooler mount to. Oh and I mounted my msd ignition. Think thats it, i didn’t finish welding because I ran out of blueshield for my welder. Gotta get more on monday then I’ll put the flange for the bov on aswell. After all the welding I will soda blast everything and have it powdercoated at my work.

That is one insane Z31! Good to see you building it up to anhialate Mustangs and the like. Just wanted to say good job on the intake, for the past week I have been doing the same thing. I noticed you also happened to grind all of the EXACT things that I did, not only the " v6 3000" and the three un-needed bolt holes, but you also ground off the big unsightly line on the front! I thought I was going overboard, good to know it’s not just me 🙂 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/z31-450hp-stitch-welded-soon-to-be-masterpiece/138237.md?page=5) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/z31-450hp-stitch-welded-soon-to-be-masterpiece/138237.md?page=7)
