    Yeah, they seem quite popular nowadays... I will be sending you a PM...

    Well I'm back to work now and zed still not running :(
    Still waiting on Nissan for some obscure rubber bits via Japan... other than that, the thing just needs an air intake pipe and the custom piping from engine to the FMIC/rad... then it's go time!!:br:

    No idea :p But you are missing some rubber on one side of your mounts, it will wear through!

    Correct sir! :p It was Aidan's idea lol

    Yeah I realise one side is missing compared to UAS style or Mazworx style mounts... what issues would I have if it wears through though? Since their main job is just lateral support for the engine?

    Mitch Has one gear: GO

    Are you going to fully weld the small holes in the pickup? You want that tube to be sealed tight. You don't want oil surge or aerated oil being pumped to your bearings thru any leaky sections.

    Ahh yeah that was just all the pieces tacked together. Chris TIGd the joins properly shortly after this photo was taken :)

    Just slop and movement and probably more vibration transferred to the chassis.

    Mine are pretty harsh...

    I don't really mind, just hope the engineer will be happy with it.

    Do you mean headers? Ya it's pretty much a given that you probably need to make custom headers or modify them to fit if your engine isn't meant for the car :p

    Well, found yet more missing parts that I need to order :mad:
    Gonna just go order these straight from West Covina Nissan cause 1) they're cheap and 2) they have parts in stock. </3 Nissan Australia

    Once Chris gets back from his holiday I can grab the sump back and chuck the engine back in for good... hopefully get it started by my birthday (31st) :)

    around -2.5° to -3° camber on the rear I think? Tucks in nicely! I'll only need the lips rolled :)

    Replaced injector connectors with better quick release ones from Coventrys. The product is by ACA, PN# BK402, $9 a pop. Replaced the rounded injector screws with allen key stainless ones (M5x0.8x16).

    Yeah as long as I don't have to order and wait for anymore parts from Nissan :(
    I'm going overseas soon and won't be back til the 20th, but as soon as I get back I'll be getting straight back into it...

    I've seen that Z before, 240Z with a VH is so :drool::bow2:

    The front right one already has a little gutter rash from being put on the truck :(

    Haggled it down to $225 from a wrecker in Malaga :p
    Oh and before anyone asks where the pump hose is, there is a female fitting on the other side which I didn't take a photo of... I'll do that tomorrow

    Thick red direct to battery positive and thick black to chassis ground.

    3 small wires,
    Brown - Diagnostics, not needed.
    Black - 12v key on, 10A fused
    Blue/White - Alternator check light, this is what tell the pump to start working.
