sooo, I picked up that engine in Chicago today. Seemed like a decent deal for everything included. It came with Megasquirt v3, Boost bros manifold, A Garrett Gt2860rs, Looks like the whole wiring harness, fuses, coil, a couple distributors, It does indeed have Arp head studs and an Mls headgasket which really makes me wonder if they ended up going forged pistons and rods. A brand new Gt2860rs cost more then what I paid for the whole package and an ms3 is around 675 prebuilt plus a harness so I feel like I made out really well. I have a lot of rust repair to do before I even think about dropping this in so it will probably be awhile before I get her running, bare with me lol.

I started stripping all the old black crap out today. Dry ice worked great. I made two piles and would alternate back and forth between the two spots allowing the dry ice to freeze everything underneath while I chipped away at the other spot.

Im in Lansing so not too far from you. Im not sure what these go for thats why I'm asking. I think a lot of it has to do with the Megasquirt, Garret gt28 (disco potato), comes with the harness, fuel rail, injectors, If you look closely at the head it looks like it has Arp headstuds and from a different picture you can see the tabs from what looks like an MLS headgasket. I think the turbo manifold is like $100 The seller isn't sure if it has a built bottom end or what he got it with his e21 and another m10 so he's selling this one and keeping the other. Also correct me if im wrong but isn't it a 2.0 since it has dual timing chain which means a forged crank? Im still learning I was going to put the m42 out of my 318is into it and have JakeB turbo turbo it for me, we had already spoke. Then my buddy found this and said if I was going to boost it then this could potentially be a great deal. so thats where I am at lol

he bought an e21 and it came with the two engines. The engine im referring to doesn't look like the head has been ran yet. The guy just told him it was built for boost. I picked my touring up for less then 6k and its a lhd 5 speed. most of them are rhd that are coming into the states. lol that dude on eBay is on drugs. There is an awd white 5 speed for sale in Ohio for like 10k.
-
Also do you guys think this is a good deal. He's doesn't know anything about the bottom end came with his e21. Looks like arp studs and maybe hd rockers. Looks like ms1 or ms2, harness, boost brothers manifold for $900 He said it hasn't been ran yet was told it was built for boost. Kind of a gamble Thanks

vacuumed out a few pounds of rust today and ripped the rear window out while I had some free time.
-

I picked the touring up a few months go already titled in the states a couple hours away from my house. Thats about to get m52 swapped once were done swapping my girlfriends coupe. I love it! I can put the dogs in the back and roll the windows for them, I can throw bags of dirt or tools back there. Edit: just realized you were talking about the blue touring in the Z picture lol. That one is awd 5 speed was hit in the rear my buddy just replaced the rear right section of it

haha Ive heard that rumor as well. finding a rust free example in the midwest is next to impossible. Rust free good condition 240z are now up to 20-30k I actually have two i'm working on, a 260 and 240. Didn't intend for it to happen but the 240z shell popped up and then an ls6/t56 popped up for super cheap so I decided to build that from the ground up and i'm about to sell the 260z actually. The 260z still has the straight 6 but its out of the 280zx turbo, we are actually about to fire it up for the first time in the next week or so. I was supposed to this last weekend but my buddy had some family medical issues or something. I wish I would have went the tripple route, it would have been running a long time ago lol. Im going with double Mikuni 44s on my Roadster, Ive never worked on carbs or had a car with carbs so I figured it would be cool to build something and learn.
-
Thank you! Im sure I will need a lot of panels from here lol
-
Heres what i'm building now If anyone is interested. kind of why I was hoping the 02 wasn't as rusty as she is lol. ls6 240z I went with a Porsche cream white If not allowed ill delete lol.
-
Its about time I learn how to replace floors and stuff anyways, at least I won't be afraid to mess anything up while I learn how to weld on this pile lol.

I started pulling the interior yesterday

I would say im typically car savy lol. Would they have been honest with me and told me the car came from Michigan I would have expected a lot of rust, I was really hoping it was a southern car. I don't buy enough cars to have pay an inspection company. only a few a year. If I was looking at more expensive cars then it would be a must. luckily I just buy $1000-2000 rust buckets. I really wasn't looking for an 02 it just popped up in Georgia for a good price and ive always wanted one. I have a few other projects im working on at the moment so I was just hoping the 02 was little less of a project lol. Im building an ls6 240z from the ground up so thats taking most of my money right now, was hoping I could pull the m42 out of my 318is to put in the 02 sooner rather than later but looks like thats going to be put off for awhile. Michigan is pretty easy to get a title in although I think they did just change the laws so I might have to get it bonded first before I can get a title. I appreciate the help

looking for a whole nose panel
-
yes. Two days after I bought it I actually saw a post on the r3vlimited Facebook page regarding Robs poor customer service. Should have known then what I was getting
-
I was sent about 10 photos. One that showed some rocker rust. I asked where the car came from and they told me they didn't know. I found the original bill of sale under the bill of sale they put in the car from 2013 that stated the car was from Michigan. Here are a couple photos I was sent. You can see the floor looks pretty dang clean in the one photo which led me to believe it could be a southern car. The third photo shows the worst rust picture he sent me. Figured it might need some new rockers. If anyone has an early nose panel for sale around Michigan or the surrounding states let me know lol Thanks

I think you're right ??
