Engine in da hole

Tight!!!

image

 

New Japspeed 350z alloy rad, chopping and modding the 350gt fans to fit!

image

 

image

 

Plenty of clearance with out the fans on, not so easy with the fans!! So i had to trim loads of the plastic front end to move the rad forword so it all fitted!!

image

 

Moved forword and fans fitted, also very tight!!

image

 

image

 

image

 

Gear stick extension perfect thanks to Mr Stevos fabrications and my mesurments

image

 

Japspeed 1jz top mount conversion Vband down pipe fits perfect with out a mod needed :D

image

 

 

Started mocking up some pipe work! It probs going to poke out the bonnet a little but i dont want to comprimise on the radious of the bend and there is no way it can go down!

image

 

Mocking up cooler locations

image

 

 

So thats it for now, waiting on a few bits to turn up now and some things to sell, bank is empty!!!

Masive thanks to Japspeed for a hole host of parts, including all the alloy pipe work, exhaust parts, suspensions arms, intercooler, rad.....

image

 

image

 

The intercooler pipe work is now ready for welding, just going for one pipe each side, so less silicon needed.

Trick with the pipe work on this is to keep it high on the hot side so i can get the air filter under it, seing as there is not alot of space the filter will be up against the pipe work, so having the hot pipe high is better for heat reasons. Also the pipe work has to be as far forward as poss as the wheels are not far from each corner, giving hardly any room infront of the wheel, especialy on lock!

Not done too much as im waiting on parts which i couldnt afford :wack: now iv sold my daily s14a i can crack on again :D

 

Oil pipes, one way valve and T for Accusump.

image

 

Made a few fittings to get welded in to the boost pipes, one for the air temp sensor and the other for boost control (one for each wastegate and one for the controller)

image

 

image

 

Fuel tank got a clean and paint

image

 

Some under floor bracing and filler neck fitted

image

 

HSD's

image

 

Neck protector

image

 

Thinking of swapping out the stock spring pan arm for a modified s14 toe arm. Its about 3inch too short ATM.

image

 

Pipercross came and mesured up for my new filter

image

 

And i got the fuel tank in, along with a few other cleaned up and painted bits

image

 

image

 

Now iv got a bit of cash from the daily tomorow il be ordering all sorts of bits so i can move on!

Pic time!!!

 

Had the guy next door make this for me on his CNC lave, its so i can ditch the standard oil cooler and oil filter housing and run two sandwich plates. One for the oil cooler and one for sensors. Also with just the oil cooler one i couldnt get the -12 pipe to clear the block.

If any one wants one made, for two sandwich plates or one i can get them done!

image

 

image

 

image

 

Spent some time cleaning all the suspension bits il be using! Drill and a wire mop, some scotch bright and a bit of sand paper.

image

After a dip and electro plating

image

 

Bit of cleaning and painting the steel bits

image

 

Also, im very please to announce a new sponsor, SuperPro have kindly supplied me with all the bushs i could possably need!

image

 

image

 

ta da

image

 

So before i could fit it all up i had to sort the fuel tank breather

image

 

Plenty of copper grease on every nut and bolt

Test fitting a 12j et20 18", at 1st glance i thoght it wouldnt work but with a bit of a flare and a stretch it will look mighty fine!!!

That is as low as the coilovers will go so a bit of playing there to be done, this has got to be ubber low to pull 18" rims off! Even with poke out!

Big thanks to my mate Mike for giving a hand cleaning and painting various parts

Starting to get tight for space under there!!

image

 

Planning bonnet vents!

image

Got the custom made bits back from another mate with another CNC machine! These extend the s14 rear toe arms so i can fit them in place of the stock spring pan arm.

Im going to get them plated in silver pasivate, same as the nuts and bolts just silver.

image

 

image

And finished the lines, i ran out of hose for the last meter!!

Pic Pic time!! Sorry fo the delay, but im trying to put maximum hours in so its ready for testing! Deadlin was/is end of feb which is monday so thats out the window!! Aslong as i get it to one track day before competition il be happy!

 

Fuel lines!!! Twin Z32 fuel filters for the twin walbro, twin feed single return fuel system

image

 

Pressure reg to go on bulk head here

image

 

image

 

Front to rear lines, note the fuel pic up pot, normaly the car will have one in the drivers side which has a pic up in each side of the tank, i have got a second one from Zmanalex on the 350zuk forum, so i will run one pic up pot each side of the tank and two pic up points in each side. Luky the walbro pumps are a direct swap for the storck pump, even the elec plug is the same.

Managed to get rid of this much wire, could have prob got way with more if i knew what i was doing lol

Bit of an update

 

Rear light loom

image

 

Fitted

image

 

image

 

mid job madness!

image

 

The two fuel pick up pots, both now fitted with new walbros, also one fitted with a -6 fitting for the fuel return.

image

 

Each pot hase two pic ups, this pic is of the second pick up for the standard pot, i just ran a 8mm ID copper pipe back accross the tank for the second one and cable tied it to the tank baffles. So the fuel tank now has two walbros and 4 pick up points.

image

 

Fitted and the rear half of wiring finished

image

 

This is all the wires used to go from the dash back, two fuel pump lives, side lights, two indicators, one fog and one brake, The 4 little wires are for the level senders.

image

image

 

Labeld up ready for connection

Had a delivery from the chaps at Artel :worthy:

image

 

Made some T peices for take off and return for the bubble tank

image

 

image

 

Got the cam covers back from some tig welding and gave them a dash of silver paint, was going to go blue but i think that would have been too much blue. Iv also taken to all the polished alloy under the bonnet with scotch bright to make it look less bling and chav!

Bit of an update, i was going to push on tonight and get it started!! Damn its so close! But i didnt want to rush it for the sake of it, few more days!

 

chopped holes in the bonnet

image

 

Got some front upper camber arms! Cheers Dan at DBpower

image

 

Thoght this pic was funny, looks like its on hydraulics lol! Half way off the stands that have supported it for the last 3 months!

image

 

Just some random shots! been 2ft in the air so long seams very strange to have it on the floor, its bloody low! This is on 9.5j et30 rims all round! The 12j et20 rear and 9.5j et12 front should work well with a 20mm spacer on the front :D

image

image

 

For gigles!

Out side for the 1st time since xmas

Still not started, been on the road all day and didnt get back till gone 7pm by wich time i CBA to get into it.

 

But the 420mile road trip was well worth it

Along with a visit tot he guys at Japspeed and EPracing to collect a few other bits and bobs, i also went to see Gav at The Speed Factory up near manchester!!! He had this little wearhouse fine sitting there for me

 

 

With a shipping lable from 2005!! Been sitting for a while untouched, collecting dust!

image

 

Every single component had its own box, in which the parts wer bubble wrapped and taped and glued to the box to prevent damage! Along with a full set of instructions, Nismo certificate and fitting kit for each item!

The quality is unreal, seams a shame to smash it up

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

the instructions and fitting kits wer even attached to the inside of the boxs

image

 

image

 

The fit is very impresive, not a single imperfection!!

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

Any way last night i started making the exhaust, fitting a flexi in the down pipe. Also fitted a single plate clutch for now to get it running, along with taking the box appart and fitting the shifter extension properly, oh and fitted the custom prop.

image

 

image

 

image

Flush with the chassis

update time!

 

Made this heat sheild a while back but forgot to post pics

image

 

image

 

After making the 3" exhaust, i desided 3" probs wont be enough for 650-700hp, so i made a hole new system out of 3.5" to the Y peice at the back where is goes in to twin 3".

 

3" to 3.5" reducer

image

 

3.5" mandrel bends

image

 

reducer chopped down and tacked to Vband flange

image

 

image

 

Down pipe complete (tack welded) Due to 3.5" pipe a flexi and bolted flanges wer no longer an option due to budget so slip joints wer used.

image

 

image

 

Exhaust complete and on, for max ground clearance

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

Just some shiny shots

image

 

image

 

Side skirts on

image

Big thanks to Scotty at Skylinepart.com for the coil pack plugs, the stock ones had crumbled to bits!

Then it was the task of starting!! Had a few issues!! 1st was one of the live to the ecu had to be controlled by pin 24a on the ecu via a relay, fixing this gave me spark and injectors but at the wrong times!! After a few days of fecking about, i figered that the two cam shaft sensors wer the wrong way round and she fired up streight away.

image

 

image

 

Made a heat sheild for the turbo, mainly to stop thermal shocking to the turbo housing when it rains and to keep direct heat away from the brake and clutch master.

image

 

image

 

image

 

Cheers guys, got photo bucket sorted!!

 

Sooooooo....................

 

A bit of arch rolling

Japspeed sent down some D2 brakes, but only had Subaru rear kit and 200sx front kits to send me, so some modding was needed, the rear disc PCD and bore wer wrong so got corrected!! Also none of the brakets lined up so they all needed chopping drilling and tapping!

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

Japspeed also got the 4" core coolers back in stock so one of them went on

image

 

image

 

image

 

image

 

Also loads of other little jobs done getting it ready for mapping and paint, not worth taking pics of!

 

Exhaust properly fitted while on the ramp
