Default Checkmate.....
I've came to a point now...where I can't decide what to do, or what car to work on first. 2 months away in Florida, and I thought I'd come up with a plan...but nothing.

Car one... The Red Datsun 260Z. Needs everything.

Needs a full wire harness, 12-18 circuit Painless harness. NeedToBuy
Haltech install...have
briefly go thru the turbo motor, check rings and bearings.
new turbo, T3/T4... NTB
new intercooler, 24x3x18... NTB
weld in the cage...have
paint...have
swap in the R200 Diff...have
get the ArizonaZcar.com rear diff bracket...NTB
CV axles swap...NTB
new seats...NTB
larger injectors...NTB
weld-in camber plates...NTB
wide flares installed...have
front fiberglass fenders installed...have
remove carbs and go back to Fuel Injection....have
get Carbon Fiber Hood...NTB
remove rust and weld in new frame rails.
install turbo exhaust...have
install adjustable front and rear susp parts...NTB

Result: The most Pimped out Z in the area that can do shows, drift, cruises, and end up the garage queen for many years.



Car Two... The Yellow Datsun 260Z. Needs gone.

re-install triple weber carbs from red Z...have
install the bilstien shocks and springs from old white Z...have
toss some wheels on it...have
install the Hooker Competition header and duel pipe exhaust w/4 cherry bombs from red Z...have
Weld Diff...labor

Result: Have a car I can race/drift once or twice, and if I'm not happy with it, then sell it.




Car Three... The Red 87 CRX. Needs some work.

remove tranny and replace the seals...labor
tighten up turbo fitting on back of engine...labor
remove intake and de-vac car...labor
Install 2 weber/mikuni carbs...NTB
decide if going blow-thru turbo, or all motor carbs.
some minor body work and paint...labor
toss more wheels on it...have

OR just do a ZC DOHC swap and prep for daily driver status...NTB

Result: Sick as hell autocross car with mad tyte JDM Flavor. Race and pimp it once or twice, then sell or keep it for DD.



Car Four... The Red 88 200sx. Needs some work.

Install Nismo 2 way LSD from red Z...have
Install coil-overs...NTB
Install seats from red Z...have
Install automatic ECU...coming

Thinking about SR20DET swap....

Result: The mini-drift bitch that doubles as a fun DD. Might sell if gas goes up more.




I have too many projects...so screw me, but most of the projects have most of the parts already. I'm a parts hoard, and a wheel whore... And I have a little bit of money to toss at anyone of the cars right now to complete it... The red Z will need the more parts to finish it up the way I want it, so it's going to get funded by one of the other cars that I finish and sell.

any chance of stripping the yellow one and using parts for the red one?

the parts from the stripped white one is halfway on the red one now...and the yellow one really doesn't have anything on it cool...except the carbs.

nope...that was the red one...

I never drove the yellow one. I bought it to de-commission it. It was a stupid quick little Z that made my Z look like a slug. So when I saw it for sale...I jumped on it. Plus it came with a trailer. Hehe..and thats another project.

treat it like an a/c fleet.

fix all the Red "X's" and sell everything that just has a red "/".

find 1 car that you MUST keep and put that to the side with all the parts. figure out what you can sell and clear out to raise money for the car you really want to keep.

The ecu came for the 200sx...and I'm installing it now.... if it works...then I will be able to play on the highway some.

and these are tempting me so much....

eBay Motors: MEGAN STREET COILOVER DAMPER 84-88 200SX W/ S13 FRONT (item 260217784651 end time Apr-04-08 20:05:19 PDT)

and my buddy has an SR20 that he can hook me up with, but it will be a few weeks.....

I guess it looks like the S-12 200sx gets the attention first.
