Project Greenstone.

Or we can just split this one for you 😉

Really am enjoying my new car ! Today a mate of mine and I hook up on the way home and of course, he drives a Scoob..So the horns start emerging and we dont behave the way we should .
One stretch we let rip and then need to brake rather niftily .Holy crap ! The front wheels on my car shake uncontrollably and rather violently !
Mmmm, I am going to have to pay a lot of attention to her to get her up to my specs.

Followed up on the box and diff today and I should have these by next weekend only.Bought a complete z32 ZX for parts ! Any one interested in a 300 ZX Twin Turbo engine with std. management for a project ??
Now this could be a stormer !!

Having spacers made for the front wheel so I can fit my O.Z.Magnesios as an option from time to time..

congrats on your new cash pit... 😂

hope to see u at Zwartkorps on Sunday...

I was bang on the button with the timing prediction !!

10 deg at idle
19 deg at 1500
25 deg at 2000
27 deg at 2500
34 deg at 3000 and
37 deg at 3500 !!

pulling back to 25 deg under boost, Ill still play with this later..Right now my aim is to get this engine to motivate like a strong 2.8l n/a motor up to the onset of boost.

I have done exactly that !!
I had to give her more fuel low down but it is sooo worth it !
She now breaks traction at anything over 3600 rpm which also tells me the turbo may be a bit small...

Just to let you guys in on a little backroom news, Alistair called me up last night and we chatted . One of the reasons he put his bella on the market was exactly this ! He inquired from tjooners around and they all suggested from lightening the flywheel , to shorter ratios and ultimately a smaller turbo !!

Neptune, bud..this turbo may be too small as is ! When you`re up here shortly, pop by and drive her..

On a more serious note here, can anyone tell me if there are any rubber components in the steering shaft that can cause the steering wheel to move on its axis ??
Coming through Kempton Park to Benoni there is a 270 deg roundabout. Having blasted through there with aplomb I came out the other side with my steering wheel offset by about 15 deg. !!
It wont go back in straight and horizontal position..HELP ??

BK I have Split the topic for you, This is now your build article, If you want to give your project a Nice name, You can edit the first post.

Keep up the good work! 😀

steering rack bushes can be shot

So, the following is what I need to do to the car immediately .

Change the bloody Ford v6 engine mountings some idiot fitted while doing the conversion ! HTF can you use these for this conversion ?? 🙄 🙄

Replace every bush and rubber on this car. Have ordered all the good stuff from Rez..The steering problem ? A massive trans fluid leak from the steering rack onto the rack bushes. The bushes are fubarred !

I bought Subaru Recaros today. These will be fitted.
Seeing as the complete safety restraint system-airbags- were taken out - 🙄 -I will now fit a Momo or similar steering instead.

A new differential is needed, holding thumbs for the ZX unit I am taking out this weekend.
The fatboy gearbox is fcuked. Period. Phoned around today for one but its unobtainum.
Dont know what Ill do here yet.

This morning the left rear wheel bearing collapsed. So a complete new set of wheel bearings has been ordered from Edenvale Nissan. You do not want to know how much....

Had the chip in the windscreen fixed today and ordered a new windscreen just in case. Ill store it until the fateful day arrives and arrive it will, as true as eggs..

I have already looked at my braking options here and I will most likely use my setup I had done for an Alfa Race car I had earmarked.
My big red Brembos or some mono block Porsche stuff I had already bought..

Any one know where I can buy a full lock set for my car ? The keys are even worn out and dont want to lock and unlock the car that well..

So, this is my sorry arsed tale at the moment. Im in too deep so I need to carry on and make her new again..

🙁

Mikes place in CT will have a fat boy box for you 😉

8)

I would like to get all payments in by 15th March so that I can make sure your wheels get on the container. 😉

Thats uber cool ! Cash comes in in drips and drabs but will be ok by then..

Good stuff

all the info you need,i would phone though and explain what you looking for ,fat box is 800mm long withe slonted gear shift plate 😉 ,make sure he knows this as you dont want a RB20 box or RB25 neo as its apparently not that strong as fat boy.

The conversion was done by Jacques the owner of PPR conversions and i am sure he did hes homework. His workmanship is very good. Replace every bush and rubber on this car. Have ordered all the good stuff from Rez..The steering problem ? A massive trans fluid leak from the steering rack onto the rack bushes. The bushes are fubarred ! We spent alot of time on the bushes and even fitted erergy suspension bushes, the leak must be a new thing.

The seats and the new wheel will look good.
A new differential is needed, holding thumbs for the ZX unit I am taking out this weekend. The diff has been completely overhauled by FSR to the cost of R4kThe fatboy gearbox is fcuked. Period. Phoned around today for one but its unobtainum.
Dont know what Ill do here yet. I will find you a box in JHB

I gave you the original keys including the master key. The locks might be a bit stiff cause it was hardly used. The asian wolf alarm system caters for all the lock and key requirements u can even start the car from the remote.
Some q20 in the lock will do the trick.

So, this is my sorry arsed tale at the moment. Im in too deep so I need to carry on and make her new again..

🙁

I am willing to buy this car back if you really as sorry as you sound.
Call me if theres problems.

Welcome to the money pit called 200SX 😉

Murphy murphy murphy...

If I ever catch him, I will Castrate him a spoon!

My feeling is, When I buy a Car, even Shanes one, I will change stuff on it, not becouse there is something wrong, Just personal prefrence, and Peace of mind, We are still talking about a "Oldish" car here.

Just my 2c's.

And not sying there is anything wrong with your car, just using as an example Shane 😉

Alistair, No problems with you bud !! Really, no hassles with you. and no, you will not buy the car back unless it for a serious premium ! 😉

I am quite prepared to do work here and sort these things out. Im not bitching here, there is just a bit more to be done than I thought.

Chommies ?? 🙂

I need to have the car my way. Right now if I took her to a track day she will probably kill me.
Dont hassle about the diff and box, Ill sort that all out.
I really think you have been screwed over with the car in the past. In fact, I know you have. R4K for the diff ? It leaks like crazy and the lsd is shot.
Driving into my driveway I have to go in straight. If I go in scew the one back wheel lifts and the car stops and the free wheel simply spins in the air.

What I have realized is that the car is an old car that needs a lot of tlc. I reckon another what I paid for it should sort it completely.

Alistair, once again, I believe you had no idea of all this and I do not hold you responsible at all. Were cool bud. And I want you to still visit when you come up..

Ill keep the Ford v6 mountings to show you..
😉
