ZFreak's RB26DETT Z32 300zx build...

[RedRyder]

g-DAMN son! You must be so happy, it looks amazing (I still maintain that a 350 and 370 look like crap compared to the 300), and those numbers are just ridiculously awesome. Is there much issue with traction and putting that power down?

I kind of liked the two dual tip mufflers better, but I understand why it went to a single outlet. RHWP = rear wheel hp?

Again, congratulations and fantastic work! I'd ask what the most challenging aspect was, but I'm sure there are too many of those to name. There's much more room in that bay than I thought there would be.


Interior shots? And videos please.

holy ****.

after following this thread for almost a year, its finally "done"

nice job, really, thats awesome. is this the first one ever made? you could get famous and make some of your (i imagine youve dumped close to 20k into this) back

i also agree with Chris, the z32 is the best looking z of all

I would like to eventually get back to the dual "dual" tip mufflers, so it's more "stock-like"... that's probably after xmas. The exhaust that's on there is something that I bought from a guy parting his swap out, and it leaves a LOT to be desired.


The hardest part is the wiring, and the fabrication of the cooling system. The rest isn't too bad. There are just SO MANY little things that have to be right for the swap to work.

The factory gauges work as they should as well...the only weird thing is I can bury my tachometer now to redline. haha.. The old VG was 6800rpm redline so it feels weird pushing it that far.


If it makes you feel better, my house still isn't finished (but I'll be moving into that here soon too!).

I'll get some more vids soon. I have a small oil leak to fix and teeny tiny coolant leak from my bleeder valve, both of which are minor but need to be addressed.

OMFG!! I bet you car is so much funner to drive now!

It is INSANE to drive now. I need to get better tires. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd just SPIN...haha.

Ladies and gentlemen....


636 RWHP, 504 ft-lb @ 24psi, 93 pump gas... with plenty of turbo and fuel left in her, but this is starting to get up in the range of the limits for the stock internals, so that's it for now.

<-Dat ass

!!!!!!!!

Which transmission did you go with again, I saw you mentioned an issue a few posts back? Hopefully not a stock RB20 five speed, you'll blow out third on a regular basis if so. I'm glad to see it finally finished Scott, break a few necks for us.

^No need to quote all the photos man.

Not that this car doesn't warrant it.

All of them are pr0nz. I'll trim it down though.

Amazing work man, congratulations on finally finishing it and getting it running! Sounds, looks, and I bet it drives like a beast. I love it.
