Used to have a Z32-TT and it was a pretty nice and fast car. PIA to work on though because of the tight engine bay plus aftermarket parts are quite expensive. Nice car dude!

I would venture to say the ride height issue is related to the RB26 being lighter than the VG30...

I would also like to know where the radiator is? I know it's custom mounted in front somewhere...

The RB25 and Z32 trannies are mechanically the same with a different bell/front case and a different shifter location. You could use the RB25 bellhousing on a Z32 tranny in the future and then have no need for custom work in that department.

Was it possible to mount the engine further to the rear? It's hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like yuo have some clearance between the firewall and the engine.

Overall, great job... I'm impressed.

the car sits higher in the front because the u have to space the subframe down which increases ride height up front.

Joels got this one, the ride height would have stayed the same....however you have to space the subframe down a bit, which puts the car up. Coilovers would be the equalizer, but I want to keep the suspension how it is, nissan stock suspension is awesome for drag.

There have been some updates to the car, it currently makes 680rwhp @24psi on torco 112, and daily driven 93 octane tune it makes 555rwhp @ 18psi.

I have switched the interior over to black suede...no more grey vinyl

Also got some new pics of the car, they are much more 'professional'....in fact you guys might even see them (or versions of them) in an upcoming magazine...
