Looks good Andy, like everyone here I can't wait to see some footage of it making noise. we are looking at Dash setups for our 300ZX and there are a few options out there and a wide price range as well. We have put the radiator in the boot and also looking at the electric water pump options most...

Hey guys had 6 weeks at home over Christmas/New Years so got a bit more done on the Z and also finally sold the M20 so successful time home. Got the cage finished and mounted the radiator in the trunk ran the pipes to the front ran the exhaust through the car and out the side jut behind the left...

Hi Neil, I can assure you this car will never leave these shores, its being built to run in allcomers club events in NZ we also want to run in "Time Attack" and "Sports Sedans" which are pretty much run what you bring events so the cage is to MSNZ standard and the guy who did the welding is the...

Back home for 6 weeks over Christmas and hoping for some real progress on the 300z, we are going with a single turbo and have mounted it in front of the engine running to twin intercoolers. Finally finished the rollcage and now making the alloy fuel cell and mounting Intercoolers and radiator...

Hi Andy, I see you are using the fancy clips/pins for your door/rear clam locks, I used those on the rear clam as well, I hope you used a better quality product than what I got, the ones I have are rubbish. As for the rest of it, I'm in awe of how the finish is turning out. The build quality is...

Here are some photos of the cage. Will send more of the finished/painted shell before we start putting all the bits back in it. the plan is to paint the entire shell white then add the red and blue in the same scheme as the 90s Stillen Works car #75.

Well, some more time spent on the 300ZX. got the roll cage finished and welded up this time home. Made the engine and G/box mounts and bought Intercoolers and radiators but as always happens with these things we are now looking at maybe going the single turbo direction. For a brief moment we...

Hi Andy, More great progress, just reading all your electrical trickery sends me into a head spin but modern ECMs make for so much better drivability and performance compared to the old mechanical systems like I have. Your attention to detail and fit are far more show room quality than the...

A couple more. I have added the another side intrusion tube so its an X with a dropper in the middle to the floor and another from the back stay to the Centre of the main hoop and top intrusion bar. It also has tubes to the front strut towers from the dash bar going through the fire wall and...

I know you guys like photos so here are some progress shots. Still have a few tubes to go in yet but it gives the welder something to start with while I'm at work

Hi Guys, Back from WA so had a couple of weeks off and got some work done on the roll cage in the Z. It had a part built cage when we got it but was not legal so cut it out and started from scratch. I have just tacked it up and a pro certified welder will complete the welding while I'm away at...

Hello guys, I have started a new project with my good mate Kelvin who helped me a lot on the M20 McLaren. This is a Nissan 300ZX with a twin turbo 3.0L V6. One of the rules Kelvin laid down was this is not a 12year project and we hope to have it ready for the next summer season which is 6 months...

Hi Udo, Car looks and sounds fantastic, I'm sure with time in the car it will get faster and more fun to drive. Don't know where in NZ you are going but if you are near New Plymouth give me a call if time permits 0274229493. if you are in Wellington give the new museum "Cars Inc" a visit some...

Hi Andy, The hoop looks great and that finish is awesome. I see you got your homologation did they say anything about a front hoop over the dashboard?? If not it just shows how inconsistent they can be and I find that so frustrating. Do your remember who you delt with at MSNZ. My car is now in...

Hi Andy, Just reading this again and have to agree with Howard, also you make reference to the M8F having front end grip problems. Keep in mind they are very different cars. and the reason for Dennys back flip wasn't completely the cars fault but a product of circumstance with pulling out from...

Hi Andy, I had my suspension arms "Electric-less Nickel" plated and it looks great. "Auckland Industrial Hard-Chrome" are the people to do it. Looking good !! Cheers Leon

Hi Andy, good to see more progress and as always beautiful workmanship. Interesting to see the research you did on wings, I just drew up what i thought was a nice profile and blow me down with a feather it looks exactly like that NACA 4412 profile, so I fluked that one. Cheers Leon.

Hi Andy, watching your progress with this is fascinating. But it makes me remember when you picked up your body and stuff off me what seems like just yesterday ??? do you remember our chat about how long this would take. At the time I was 8 years in and you said, I,m thinking a couple or 3 years...

Hi Rob, Long time since we last checked in and I have to say nothing but in awe of your car. That is a beast and the wheel fans will set it apart from any other SLC and really just any other super car. I would straight swap the M20. If you know anyone who wants an M20. its available. I love that...

Hi Rod, happy New year mate, hope you and the family are well and had a good Christmas. I will see if i have one at home, if so I will send it to you. Cheers Leon
