Home Built Z 'Full video build'

[gwri8]

No power steering might be a game changer for Ms Jeff taking the keys.  It's not a problem when driving but turning from a full stop requires some upper body strength.   Combine that with a hot day and no A/C and you've got a free gym membership.  It always surprises people.  ??

No power steering, no problem!

Only drag race if you have the Z.... and put some bags of cement in the boot of the V8 to be safe, the Mrs. seems very serious.

Plus she's been studying famous race cheating methods...

The Silvermine Motors site. Complete kit for the car is available. I documented the initial install in my thread.

Jeff, you can get fabric dye pens from hobby stores that will allow you to dye your seat stitches blue to match. I did that on my 370Z and it worked fabulous almost 10 years ago. Still looks great today.

I might look into that. It would be a great finishing touch.

In this episode I fail to fit new wheel studs, but I swap in the new fuel filler and some other bits.

Jeff, The rear wheel studs are longer than the fronts.  Replace the fronts with the longer rears (order a new set of rears to use in the front).  Here, people also use the wheel studs from the Nissan Quest - they are longer and have a knurl that fits.

I'm sure there are also any number of threads with info on how people have gotten their wheels to fit here, and on HybridZ...

When I ordered the studs I measured both front and rear and just got ones long enough for both. Most have suggested to drill out the centres of the holes and press the ones I have in.
