Diseazd Posted August 4, 2018 Share #133 Posted August 4, 2018 Wow, this car is gonna change a lot of minds about the Z31. Can’t wait to see the new paint on it and the new motor in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

five&dime Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share #135 Posted August 5, 2018 Indeed! I was amazed how much stuff was on the Z31 VG. It will be refreshing with a simplified inline 6, no AC. I plan on eliminating anything not needed under the hood and doing as much wire tucking as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share #136 Posted August 5, 2018 Took some more photos. Because I can't stop obsessing over the color.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted August 7, 2018 Share #137 Posted August 7, 2018 What’s nice about a lighter color is it makes the edges pop more. Gets you more depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share #138 Posted August 9, 2018 Can't wait to see the whole car. My biggest fear is the quarter window trim delete but based on the side profile render, I think it will look great in the end. Finally got both tail lights completely dismantled. It was a bear getting the lenses off. You have to keep cutting into the adhesive and slowly prying. Hardest lights I have ever taken apart by far. The first set I tried to bake melted at relatively low temps ? These are getting wet sanded and Xpel clear wrapped. I can't wait to see them all finished with the LED boards.

five&dime Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share #139 Posted August 15, 2018 My machinist said all the port and polish work is done. Valve seats are cut. Now he is just going to work on the combustion chamber to smooth it out and open it up a bit to remove some of the quench bad in order to unshroud the valves. He will take a mold of for the custom pistons. While waiting for the pistons, he will clearance the head for the larger Tomei cams and figure out which shims we need for the Tomei lifters.

five&dime Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share #144 Posted August 31, 2018 The painter sanded my tail light lenses completely smooth, removing all the raised letters etc. Then he polished them before Xpel clear wrap film was applied. They look amazing! Brake lenses will be done next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
