 My 3/S addiction started when I was in high school. I saw a blue 1991 3000GT SL on a local streetlight corner for sale about the time I was getting my learners permit. Not really knowing too much about these; I was into the whole F&F thing - Supras, eclipses, etc - but the 3000GT was new to me. I begged my parents for it and it turned out to be a family friend selling it, so i got it. That's when it started.. These cars turn you into a mechanic quickly, but I was always good with my hands. I joined the 3/S forums in 2008 and found out about the VR4. I knew I had to have one one day. Not planning on getting one soon, I had acquired a spare block and was planning a build for my SL... but only after a few months I found my baby, this 1994 3000GT VR4. It was everything I wanted - Pearl white, Removable roof, and a blank drawing board. I brought this car back from the dead at age 17 (2009) in a thread that I probably can't link here :/. The engine ran for a while and had no abnormal noises. I went through a few upgrades and after i blew my stock rear turbo, I built a Holset HX50 single turbo kit with 350z manifolds in 2010 (in a thread i cant link here) then traded for some bigger compressor housing 19t's that i didn't get to max out but drove on those for a while. Which leads up to last year. I pulled the trans to beef it up, removed my oil pan, and found out I goofed up when i first built the engine. I've been collecting quailty parts for a big build since 9-14-12. The thread can be found here: http://www.3sgto.org/3000gt-stealth-...car-build.html Heres the current mod list: Built 3.0L 4 bolt main block including: Bored, hot tanked, and balanced New freeze plugs New oem forged crank Ishihara-Johnson crank scraper ARP main bolts Clevelite 77 bearing set Ninja Performance lightweight rods Wiesco pistons H13 .200 wrist pins New oil squirters A1 head studs Ninja Performance big bore lifters IPS 5-axis CNC ported "Race" heads with +2mm oversized valves Brian Crowler springs and titanium retainers IPS 272 cams BC/Pampena adjustable cam gears OEM gasket set OEM water pump OEM oil pump with boostaddict billet gears (measures within spec) Gates Racing Kevlar timing belt Ninja Performance solid timing tensioner kit Setrab/Maximal Performance oil cooler Krank vents Solid engine mounts 3SX Single Pass Radiator with Slim passenger fan GReddy High Pressure Radiator cap Mugen S2000/NSX thermostat Polished spark plug cover HKS oil cap New Cam angle sensor New Crank angle sensor New Knock sensor New Coolant Temp sensor Precision 6870 DBB 1.00 a/r turbo HP cover Sound Performance quick spool valve Braided SS oil feed and return lines FMIC FMIC ducting TiAL BOV IPS/HKS carbon titanium 4" exhaust Fuel: 3SX fuel rails Aeromotive FPR -6 an fuel line from the tank to an aeromotive filter to the rails Twin in tank Walbro 450LPH E85 pumps Custom dual pump hanger Delphi 1000cc injectors Ignition/Electronics: HKS EVC 5 HKS Type 0 Turbo Timer Innovate Oil pressure, Water temp, and Boost gauges AEM analog wideband gauge AEM EMS V1 HKS twin power DLI Magnecor R-100 Racing 10mm Plug Wires Drivetrain: US spec 6 speed Rebuilt transmission using new bearings and seals Bellhousing brace Supercar Engineering Torsen center differential Supercar Engineering billet shift forks Broomfield Racing billet endcase Ohiospyderman's short throw shifter Braided SS clutch line Reman slave cylinder RPS MAX 6 puck clutch Unorthodox Racing lightweight flywheel Pampena solid rear differential bushings Brakes and suspension: Braided SS Brake lines Hawk HPS brake pads Carbotech slotted rotors KSport coilovers 3SX rear adjustable upper control arms Rota P45R's in Time Attack flavor BFGoodrich GForce KDW T/A tires Exterior: 99 Front bumper 99 Turn signals 99 Sail panels 99 Rear garnish C7Carbon Carbon fiber combat wing JDM tail lights Interior/Miscellaneous: Corbeau FX1 Pro seats on Corbeau sliders Porno red carpet Dynomat from rear seat bottom to rear of car Battery relocate to rear Trunk plastics/carpet/fiberboard removed Active Aero delete Cruise control delete Rear wiper delete Clutch booster delete Power antenna swapped for flexible shorter rubber one Vacuum reduction Odyssey pc925 crank |
