better photos of the painted plenum, can't stop looking at it Also, my brand spankin new eBay-spec ASI 56mm TT radiator which I got on special ($195!! lol) Since my Z was N/A, I used the Z1 NA->TT rad mount bracket with some new bushings and the top TT rad brackets... fits quite nicely even with my far-from-straight front end gotta be happy with that! I'll need to get this rad modded though don't I, Chrispy? I've got a Davies Craig electric water pump to use here as well...
cant wait till im up your way next to see that in the flesh... looks like you have done an awesome job on it
haha cheers don't look too closely though, there are a few paint runs... might have to sand down some parts and respray. Just waiting for those engine mounts ay
yeah once im feeling better ill go see chris and pick them up... he is doing some ally onces for us to work with first, then he is gonna make ya some nicely shapped strong ones once we get the holes sorted out and everythign looking right... ill txt ya tomorro ne ways
Okay sweet, sounds good. Are you still sick from that cough I gave ya? Sorry man! I don't have a virus though, turned out to be a post-viral infection which isn't contagious... got work til 1830 tomorrow so I'll check my phone after then
Yummy I see you've got some extra oil capacity there by widening the sump, nice! Oil pickup is probably next thing on the list
I'll post up piccies of my engine mounts when they get test fitted... quite different to yours, using a standard Z32 subframe bushing as the vibration dampening but it's damn solid. How far are you with the swap Stillen? You should get a project thread happening I'd be interested in comparing what steps you took vs my swap...
Been at it for over 3 years I,ve modified the vh45de bell housing, rebuilt the gearbox, made the gearbox bracket and mount. Final rebuilt the engine block after having laying around the shed for the last 3 years. I balanced the pistons and rods to within 0.1 gram, had the crank balanced and fitted new rings and bearings. I,m doing a porting job on the heads at the moment, getting about 5% extra flow through both the inlet and exhaust ports. Trying to get them finished this month.
Ahh you're doing a full rebuild as well... hope mine doesn't take that long. So you're going auto then?
