building me a nissan 300zx N/A 2+2 5speed
Hi guys bought a 93 sapphire blue 2+2 5 speed n/a last thursday
buena park location yanked out the engine right away
bought this for my wife but i have a feeling she doesnt like it cause its manual told her that im going to teach her but she rather drive her toyota highlander lol!!!
i would really like to swap an rb26 but im broke at the moment maybe next year so im just gonna do a simple rebuild for now

you went in deep. You are brave. Smooth runners when they're right. Good job
I had a twin turbo. Too buzy underhood. I rather the 'simpler' sohc vg30Et actually
A friend makes it look so ez, when he drops z32 tt drivetrain & xmembers from below
Always preferred the longer 2+2 body style
