Just a quick update on this before I lose track. I removed the engine and powder coated a load of parts, stripped the cam covers and welded on -10AN fittings. I also changed the timing belt, water pump and tensioner whilst everything was apart. Fitted the engine back in, ready to send back to Craig for the turbo install. And here it is all done fitted with a Garret GT3582R twin scroll with 1.06 housing and HKS 60mm wastegate. Next step is to rip it all back out and start on body prep, in the meantime I am experimenting with some overfenders. Watch this space, more to come soon...

Quality project Zach, that manifold is a work of art.

Thanks all some big updates coming this weekend when the car gets sprayed Go on Adam, you know it makes sense

Thanks guys, single turbo on the cards Luc

I designed some vents for the bonnet and had them laser cut. I also added a NACA style duct, should look good when its all painted up!

I was going to use the PMC adapter but was then told that there kit uses a sleeve for the inputshaft to reach the spigot bearing which is not good, so I went with the one Nev sells I think its the TTC kit will get a picture tomorrow. Gearbox is from M3 E46

Just spotted this, cool project Graham. How's it coming along?

I sent the shell off to Dynotorque for Craig to work his magic on getting the engine and box mounted up. The 3UZ V8 that was destined for my black supra is now going into this mated up with a 6 speed gearbox from an M3. I fitted the rear mount sump from the soarer, however the front subframe had to be modified and fused with a subframe fom a 200sx S14 so we could use the more compact S14 steering rack for clearance. Gearbox mount mocked up but not finished as you can see.

Nice, cool car

Thanks mate, got some great plans lined up for it.

I've had the shell transported over to my workshop now, cant wait to get started on this now.

Yes of course, go for it.

I will leave this here, love this modified early model Mazda Cosmo coupe.

I bought this restored shell. Its the 2 seater version ZX with welded in roll cage, it's a much nicer shape.

I love the liftback GT's

I'm not going ahead with the build on this now.

Bought this 280ZX a couple of weeks ago which I'm going to rip apart and modify. The car is in pretty good condition but will see when I start stripping it down. Here's what I have planned: Full respray in pearl white. Overfenders Bigger and wider wheels Coilovers Brake upgrade Ducktail spoiler Front air dam Remove bumpers and possibly fit 240Z bumpers Interior and motor will get an upgrade also. I will update as I go along.

Thanks all I will have more updates on progress later this week.

I'm pretty sure I have one available, will need to check.

Nice motor Rob, sounds lovely.

Sorry for lack of updates just been too busy, however I have made some progress over the weeks. Here's what has been done so far: Rear quarters marked off, cut back and welded. Rear panels bonded on with this super strong Bodyline panel adhesive. Rear bumper bolted on, rear spoiler placed on for test fit.
