I am aware Akina has already been car of the month once already but the new version could qualify again.  Or car of the year or car of the decade.

Simply awesome.

Mad props to you my friend. We demand video when she is on the road.

awesome build!
I'll be coping some of your ideas on my turbo build .

[AKINA FC]

Well I didn't get as far as I hoped but she should be ready to fire next weekend! Finished the plumbing for the cooling system, coolant overflow can, relocated the main harness and fuse blocks, primed the power steering system, fitted the drive belt, filled the trans and bled the clutch.... whole bunch of other little things done as well.
Still need to finish the core support, upper radiator cover, ducting the for the radiator and build the new strut brace. Some other small things too but I can't remember them all at the moment.








Its kinda funny to see it with the hood shut again, hard to believe all of that is shoved in there LOL

AkinaFC  will we be getting a peek at the 5.3 300zx conversion any time soon?   I always wondered why that swap
hasnt swept the z community as hard as it has the fc/fd world.  Plenty of pampered n/a 1990-1996 300zx's for sale.

Shhh its a well kept secret. My Z32 is currently sitting next to an LM7/T56, and im thinking pretty hard about it

Seems to be quite a interest in that build from the pm's I have been receiving. I will post up a seperate build thread for it in the future for you guys, it will be a while though. The friend who owns it is collecting parts currently before moving any further ahead with it.

She lives again I will make a vid for you guys soon. But here is some pictures from today 






On a small note, I would have been further along but I had a power steering pump shaft and pulley fail on the initial break-in of the engine last week. Destroyed the belt, pulley, pump, reservoir and also threw ps fluid everywhere. So that took about 8 hours to clean everything up and install new parts. She runs like a champ now though

My car wants to be like your car when it grows up.

If that's the case... My car hasn't even begun to be a sperm cell in an infants nut sac...
