    This car is now getting some KLZE cams with updated friction washers soon, and possibly going all out on the HEI mod. May also be installing headers, new cat back and the MAF swap finally with some pulse/flow matched injectors and some new O2 sensors.

      I decided to check the base timing on this thing to see what is going on since I have the distributor all the way advanced to get 10 of base timing. Due to this I figured that somewhere or somehow the cam timing was off and it was the reason for this. After getting my KLZE cams installed tonight and checking all the timing marks before I pulled it all apart, everything was exactly where it is supposed to be, so I guess my distributor is toast which would explain why it was running fine then getting a cruise misfire and moving the distributor made it go away, only to have it come back a while later and again advancing the distributor seemed to help it.

      Anyway KLZE cams are in with updated mazda friction washers to get rid of the annoying rattle and since I have the engine apart I will check the oil clearances of the cam caps and adjust them if they need it. Next step will be headers....

                  eBay but I am still waiting for it to be shipped and I paid for it on the 6th. It likely some Chinese seller based in the USA that will take forever to ship it out and when they do it will be something agonizingly slow like fedex smartpost.

                      Well that won't be happening either. They canceled the order due to the manufacturer recalling them due to incorrect core size but they still have them listed for sale......

                      This is the second time this has happened now. First time out of stock now this.

                        300zx's MX-3 work log

                        I ended up going with a stock replacement radiator after finally finding a decently priced unit and scrapping the all aluminum radiator idea for now.

                        Updates:

                        Removed the stock air box, added a real intake that won't suck hot air.
                        Colt cams tri-flow grind finally arrived.
                        Building a front strut bar that will actually do something and clear the Millenia intake manifold.
                        Still waiting for my valve train goodies and fidanza flywheel.

                        Future projects:
                        Some kind of tunable oem ECU or standalone.
                        Too feed fuel injectors/rails.
                        Better header downpipes since the eBay SS headers version is smaller than stock, and other exhaust changes.
                        Intake manifold experimenting.

                        Brake upgrades and re-valved KSports possible....

                            That's the plan, they seem like they have a much higher failure rate and very limited options for upgrades.
