NjsGT's build.... with pics!

[NjsGT]

That's why they make heaters, so you don't have to freeze.

Just got done installing a Wolf Tech clutch and flywheel in my friends 350Z today. Comfortable 65* the whole time while it's been 20 outside and a white out all day.

nice, my bro has a Z with small simple bolt on stuff.... Actually, hes kinda in the market for anew clutch....

I wish I could get the car inside the garage, just to much shit in the way. Ill be able to work on the 2 motors in there though....
I can only imagine whats its like over by you.... Its been cold here but no white shit yet which is always a good thing....

[NjsGT]

Got alot of work done today.... Here's some pic's... btw, hang in there with the first few pic's, there was some shit on the len's haha

A hour or so tearing into the stock motor.... Valve cover's, oil pan, and water pump removed...

Back of the motor...

Timing chain cover removed...

Here's the JDM 302 on the stand

New block with the TSS 3v oil pump installed

Oiling system all installed... TSS oil pump, new pick up tube (FoMoCo) and modified windage tray.... To clear the ARP fastener's...

New block with the ARP head stud's installed with new stock gaskets...

And finally the stock block back to basic's haha...

Happy to see there's no damage from det.... Gotta say, it kinda looks like I should get another set of spark plug's.... Alot of deposit's or maybe my tune is real safe....

 

[06silverbullet]

you might want to hold onto the stock block jst in case seeings how the no longer make 4.6 aluminum blocks.
