New guy, old z's here
Hey there, I finally activated my account and figured I would introduce myself. I am brian and I own 2 nissan 300zx turbos. One is an 86 and the other is an 88. Some of you may know me from the other sites. I live in rochester these days. Currently both of my cars are running on foot power but both should be together by sometime in january depending on witch way I am going to go with each car. I drive a 03 cavi daily. I will post more in a bit.

No, I have always been a sucker for the z31 but I think that my next project will be a 240z with a ls1 swap. A guy in my z club has one and it is pretty sick. I would probably have to turbo the ls1 of course. Anyways, Here is a pic of my black 86 turbo. It has a 3 in turbo back exhaust, ACT race clutch, mbc, electric fans, N/A motor(9:1), stock t3, polished/Painted tt rims, 200zr hood scoop, etc. It ran a 14.3 on stock boost with a 2.4 60 ft time. On the second pass I blew part of the head gasket and limped her home. I am probably going to put a rebuilt stock engine back in and sell her in the spring. Not quite sure though.

Here is a couple of pics of my white 88 turbo. I picked her up last spring for 2k with a misfiring engine. I had the engine rebuilt over the summer and am just finishing paying it of so that I can put it back in the car. It came with a 3.3 liter pathfinder engine, haltech standalone, t3/t4 60 trim turbo, intercooler setup, blitz blow off, spec clutch, blueprinted tt trany, heavy duty driveshaft, tt vicous diff, vacuum actuated exhaust bypass, illumina 5 way adjustable shocks/struts, tokico springs, bigger sway bars, all polly suspension bushings, 350z rims, 570cc injectors, adj. fpr, tt fuel pump and a 2 year old paint job with very little rust. I had the engine bored to a 3.4l, forged weisco pistons(9.5:1), jim wolf S2 race cams & springs, full head job, balanced and blueprinted, and a gutted upper plentum. The car dynoed 390 at 14psi the way that it was and I should be quite a bit higher than that this spring. I am still not sure if I want to go with a bigger turbo and put this setup on the black one but we will see.

yes it is. It should be pretty sweet when its done. I don't know if I want to upgrade the turbo or see what she can do with the current setup. I will probably leave her the way that she is and get used to a high horsepower car before I go crazy.

Yeah, I went looking for you a little while after you came in and didn't see you. You had some cut girls with you. I hate that place but my friends wanted to go there to play darts. They charged us 9.00 for a picture of blue and we caught the bartender mixing beers in our pitcher. We even knew the guy. I won't go there again.

From what I have seen this seems to be a central ny web site. I live in rochester but my parents live in skaneateles and my brother lives in albany, I also have friends in binghamton and I grew up in liverpool ny just north of syracuse. It would be nice to meet some fellow gear heads in these cities and check out the car scenes. I am going to make up for not having a car last summer this summer. I loved the boulivard scene when I was growing up in syracuse and wouldn't mind getting back into it.
