Well, I'm glad you didn't put a JZ engine in there... It's like an Angel having Devil horns.

Think I should probably start getting rid of it, right?

Hey any updates OP?

Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in awhile... I've been busy with getting all settled in here in Texas, plus driving around with the tops off

I did repaint the Cobra wheels I had on the Max and threw them on the Z. Right now I'm running into some overheating issues though, I think it is partially due to a failing water pump and a pathetically thin radiator (the non-turbo Z radiator is the same L & W as the 3rd gen, but about half as think ). I also had an injector act up, so right now those are enroute to DeatschWerks to be cleaned. I also have a new water pump and OEM thermostat to install, hopefully this weekend. I'm still deciding between an aftermarket TT Z32 radiator or a factory 3rd gen one.. I'm planning to get ahold of something within the next week so I can get the car back on the road ASAP.

Once I do, I'll make it a point to take some more video

^^Good lord thats wild when the boost kicks in on that JZ swap! Clean looking swap too. I'm definitely a fan of keeping it in the family when doing engine swap though.
