Hey /o/ I have a 92 z32 that I've been fixing up for a few months now and I'd enjoy your recommendations on what I should do with the car. I want to eventually make it a race car, but for now I guess the goal would be a DD/street racing car. I have the know how to work with cars so I'm prepared for anything this throws at me. I guess I can start this off with how I'm going to paint it. What do you think of my ms fill in? suggestions?
Less is more
>>14007266
Like less work? just all one color? Or is that a non-rice way of saying weight reduction?
Also I'm thinking of either swapping the engine or making a twin turbo conversion. (yes I know it sucks that I got the NA) Which should I invest in?

Less Colors
>>14007464
not my engine btw.
I would also like to know the best way to clean up my engine bay. There's wires everywhere. Do I just buy a new wiring harness, unplug everything and put it in or what?
>>14007465
all I got is two colors. Just a solid color throughout then?
Why do you want to give it tofu stripes?
>>14007554
I kinda like them, I also was kinda going for something along the lines of this montecarlo's stripes
>>14007361
Do a E85 10.5:1 TT build, also if you have a Facebook account join the Z32 Tech page and the Z32 buy/sell page.
>>14007540
Just red. Maybe do a little black trim flourish like the monte.
>>14007361
the original z32 tt engine is a nightmare. Do yourself a favor and swap in something simpler like an RB series engine
>>14007464
>>14008545
Do some deletes/bypasses to clean up the bay

Oh I hear you there. I was checking the injectors and just then realized how awkwardly everything is placed.
>>14008464 Oh shit, I should do that. That may be a long run goal however. I'm assuming that's what you did to yours? How'd it turn out?
>>14010061
No that is the future plan, unfortunately I do not have the funds to work on it now. Local guy is building a 10.5:1 with goal of 900-1000whp.

>DD/street racing car
this is not possible, you don't do this type of shit to a daily driver
>>14012613
This guy does have a point OP dont DD it for long try to buy another vehicle as a DD. I daily drove my Z for a year and was so happy when I bought a beater.
>>14012613
>>14012640
What about in the earlier stages when it only has some smaller things done to it?
>>14013586
Also. I want to convert it to a manual transmission. Good idea? What would be a good tranny build?
>>14013586
I dynod 310whp with only intake, exhaust, lightweight flywheel and 10 psi. I wanted to dyno again on 14.5psi but didn't get a chance.
>>14013592
I have the stock TT M/T in it now with 4.10 rear and I like it. You can buy used trans for that car for cheap
>>14007203
best thing you will ever do is dump the boat anchor that powers the car. the best swap i have seen is LS chevy. yes i know its a internet meme engine but it transforms the fat heavy Z32 shell into more like a modern looking corvette with t-tops always leave paint till last.

>>14013704
Yeah I had thought of putting an ls in there. I've seen some cars on the drag strip with those and it's really impressive what it'll do to a car.
>>14013629
How much hp do you think my NA would get with those mods?
>>14013851
Just depends, just please do not swap it. Buy a TT engine and build it while you drive your car around.
>>14014577
Not to be a dick, legit question. Why shouldn't I swap it? It seems like I can get some nice performance with a swap. Then again I wouldn't mind building up the engine it has right now or putting in a tt like you say. BTW I'm pretty sure that the internals in the TT engine are slightly different, so if I slap on some turbos, what internals would I have to change as well?
>>14016599
off the top of my head, injectors, injectors, exhaust piping and ECU remap from when I did my TT swap for my 2+2
>>14016906
I'm a dumb
*injectors, timing, exhaust piping and ECU
>>14016599
I just do not like swaps on the Z32s. I think the VG should be left alone just swap it with a rebuilt TT engine. What power goal do you have in mind?
