These are the best looking wheels that you can put on a 300zx in my opinion, they were special order from Japan and took nearly 4 months to arrive. If you want to see them on the car have a look at the FINNISHED CAR!!! page on the top navigation. I think that if you [...]

This job has taken James a few days to do but it will be well worth it. Its a very slow job to do and critical to label and document the whole process. The fuse box wires were all cut then extended through a hole into the bulkhead then extended and re connected. Then some [...]

Since the engine block was delivered we have spent a fair bit of time working on it. I don’t think that you can appreciate how much work goes into building one of these up even if you have had a block built by someone else. It is taking all the parts off the old engine [...]
