In this riveting episode from the folks at throtl, we witness the transformation of their Bayside blue 300ZX project car. With a mere $300 investment, they embark on a thrilling journey to turn this beauty into a turbo SR20 powerhouse. Armed with a plethora of parts, the team wastes no time in getting down to business.
First on the agenda is the installation of a 326 wing, originally designed for a 240SX. Will it fit? That's the burning question. With caution, they proceed, taking care not to damage the pristine paintwork. As they position the wing, the excitement is palpable. And lo and behold, it fits like a glove! Well, almost. A slight adjustment is needed to ensure a perfect alignment with the body. But fear not, they are up to the challenge.
Next up, it's time to tackle the interior. The team dives headfirst into cleaning, removing the ABS assembly from the trunk, and installing new carpet. The transformation is remarkable, as the cabin starts to regain its former glory. But the work doesn't stop there. They meticulously clean the glass, leaving it looking brand new. No detail is too small for these dedicated enthusiasts.
But the real magic happens when they turn their attention to the exterior. Side skirts, aftermarket mirrors, and a custom bracket for the center vent between the headlights all come together to give this 300ZX a stunning new look. The anticipation builds as they unveil a sneak peek of the new JDM taillights, leaving us all yearning for more.
With each passing moment, the throtl team's passion and dedication shine through. Their meticulous attention to detail and unwavering determination are what make this project truly special. Stay tuned for the next chapter in this epic automotive adventure.
