Yes Another New Owner

[TruGrider]

Well got me a black mica MSP bout a month ago. Bought it with a blown engine so in the process of rebuilding it now. Went with forged internals Wiseco pistons and K1 rods with an overbore of .020. Can't wait to get it back together also just picked up a SteedSpeed mani from another member so pretty excited about that as well. Gonna be a big difference from an 07 350Z im sure but just had a lil girl and the wifey says 2 seaters are a no go lol.... Still waiting on some more parts to come in so we can start puting it back together just hoping for minimal problems and no extra bolts. I'll include some pics of the MSP so wish me luck!!

Just a thought before you put it back together, buy some new bushings for your front sway bar and grease the crap out of them with white lithieum grease while it's easy to get to.
I wish I would have know about the clunk while I was puting my motor in.

Thanks for the heads up I'll look into those bushings.

Needs a wash but otherwise looks pretty nice dude! Some nice parts you chose for the build. If you have questions on other parts to use just ask. I'm sure at least one member has used any part you could imagine for our car.

 

[TruGrider]

Lol you noticed how dirty it was. That's when I picked it up from the previous owners house didn't think he cared to much bout that car. It's definitely in better hands now!

welcome!

 

[Outlawstar98]

Thats not dirty at all! My MSP is white now... stupid salt! haha

 

[TruGrider]

Finally it's ALIVE!!! Got it started for the first time since owning it so pretty happy bout that. Went with K1'rods and Wiseco pistons with 20 overbore and a SteedSpeed mani. Didn't go quite as smooth as we would have like but do these projects ever. Has a manual boost controller that the previous owner had put in but not sure how to adjust that so haven't driven it yet. Boost might be set to high cause the last owner blew the motor because he was running 12 psi on the stock block so don't exactly wanna start this new one on 12psi of the bat. I'll keep yea posted!!

congrats on getting it up and running

Welcome aboard and you have the best color MSP!

If its a TurboXS boost controller you adjust it by turning it counter clockwise. Clockwise to turn it down. Would need 6+ turns to get it up to 12. Most other MBCs are adjusted the otherway around.

Good luck and enjoy your car with its fresh engine.

Cool thanks for the info I'll check it out tomorrow and hopefully get it straight.
