    Here is the WORK(not all mods) of what i have done since January 1st. I'll post up some pics of the random stuff i've done when I figure out how to get them off of my damn phone.

    Special thanks go out to Mike(wa2fastcamaro) for helping out and putting up with me using his shop constantly.

    -EGR delete(made my own block-off plates)
    -AIV delete
    -Throttle body coolant line delete
    -Re-plumbed the cooling lines for the turbos
    -PRVR canister delete
    -Charcoal canister delete
    -Upper clutch bleeder line delete
    -Made an air filter adapter plate/pipe so I can actually fit an air filter between the FMIC and the electric push fan
    -Finally pulled the a/c compressor, power steering pump and their brackets
    -Pulled front tow hooks off
    -Bolted my exhaust back up!
    -Random shit: new battery, fuel filter, spark plugs, and fuel pressure regulator
    -PTU relocated to underneath nose panel

    A lot of this was done to either clean up the engine bay or make working on this bitch a little easier.

    Next on the list:

    -Electric "pull" fan
    -10 point grounding kit(DIY)
    -Fab up new front tow hooks to clear the IC piping
    -Finish up the hard piping for the IC and intake
    -Possible relocate of fuse box to underneath nose panel
    -Make oil catch cans(aluminum)
    -Re-plumb the pcv system to the top of the valve covers
    -Replace the damn collapsed lifter when I do the timing belt, water and oil pumps.
    -Make a coolant reservoir(aluminum) That way i'm not using a damn diet coke bottle anymore. Haha.

    Once again...NOT MODS. Just some stuff I though i'd share with everyone. Pics up soon hopefully.

    I wanna go fast!

          all that was there when i got the car was cut lines and the pump and compressor. they were useless to me. i have them still, but i dont plan to put them back in.

            No power steering in a 300zx? Should probably put that back in.

              Why? not that hard to steer without it.

                Those things are tanks, would imagine power steering would be very nice to have and very easy on the arms...since its not a drag car.

                  All of the lines were cut and plugged with bolts and randomness. It would be a lot more work to put it all back in because I would have to find the parts and then pull the motor just to replace half of them. It was just easier to pull the pump out. I have the pump and reservoir if I should ever decide to put it back in with new lines. Its really not too bad to steer though.

                    Matt, no p/s will get old for sure. I'd try to locate the proper stuff to get it back.

                        I hear ya on that. It usually sucks when I'm tired. It might go back in next winter if I keep the car. That's why I kept the pump and reservoir.

                            I need to look into that. It would be nice to have one.

                                Dear god no. Haha. And i dont think they would have come with a manual rack, someone might make one though. These cars came with just about every option available...so im doubting any came with one.

                                        Very true. I dont like power steering very much. Only way I would like to have it is if I were autocrossing.

                                        I wanna go fast!

                                          why powersteering is awsome, it was used for a reason.
