1993 Z32 NA Rebuild
Ok so I am new to this forum, live in the Atlanta area, and am about to embark on my first Z32 NA Rebuild. At least I am hoping that a rebuild will be possible, as I am suffering from failing hydraulic lifters. The audible problem has only arisen recently, Id say about 50 miles or less have been driven since the audible knock surfaced. I am hoping this was not enough to cause irepairable damage to the block. Any suggestions? I will post pics and such as they become available. Money is tight so I may be doing this in small increments. It isnt depended on for driving at the moment so I can take my time in getting it back up. My first feat is going to be getting this engine pulled. I have read through a good post here, by Clint, and am also familiar with the TTZ of Dallas guide, which I will make use of. I suppose the purpose of this post is to announce the project, and collect any useful information from anyone willing to share. My plan is to replace as much as I can, and get the block and heads machined, and while I am at it I want to drop a 5 speed in, she has been whining about the automatic for some time, so she deserves a 5 speed. Any advice or feedback is much appreciated!
TOTALLY AWESOME.

Why are you on a Tampa based forum then? I mean I don't run out and join 240sx's of West Virginia or something like that... Just seems kinda weird. But whatever I guess. Good luck w/ your build.

And TR's not? I mean don't get me wrong, it's entertaining, but I can't say that I ever come on here expecting anything serious to be happening.
And sorry Tim, I'll go finish my registration

Import Atlanta is, well, think about Zilvia if you took away all the tech/builds/info that Vendors generate, then centered it in the middle of GA. TR is a brain trust on top of a think tank compared to that place.

Pete and I have a extra running vq30de , well it is said to be running. we bought it from a cop.
the idiot who pulled it from him cut the harness but it has everything else. So if you would like a good spare. 200.
