Took many items off my engine and have sent them to a metal polisher just a few miles from me and below are the results of his and my work :cool3:.

 

This is my aftermarket radiator bracket, it was or is stainless steel but now highly polished. The SLICKTOP plate was made by TwinTurboRich and I've had this powder coated and bolts on with some stainless steel allen capped nuts and bolts.

 

 

This is my Tokyo Auto cooling panel, original these come in silver or blue from z32-zone in Japan, mine was silver and the polisher told me it was anodized but now polished up as you can see. The logo was originally silver and riveted on, I drilled these out and had it powder coated, again bolted on using the same attractive stainless bolts.

 

 

Then the usual polished up water pipes, these will be used with red silicone hoses and mikalor t-clamps

 

 

Finally for this post, had my Altia sills polished, this removed many many scratches incurred from over the years, now I have a mirror finish.

Did you have these donor shells at PowerZed last August? If you did, then I think I saw them there.

What wheel size and offset did you go for in the end? These are my ideal brakes but sadly won’t fit under my wheels.

Yes they were there last August.

Sent a pm with regard the wheels.

Very meaty! You going to stick with the "Infinity" logos?

I’ve no real issue with those Andrew.

Wheels will be gunmetal, all in good time though, with a red centre cap ?.

The engine has been totally rebuilt with 87.5mm Wiseco pistons with Eagle rods.

Same 48P head as before, later series this is.

850cc Injectors.

AMS Manifolds.

TT Manual box fitted from the 94, with RPS/CZ Max Street Clutch and Flywheel.

You going to race it?

What a lovely Z you (and PZ) are creating Andy. Got my 50p ready for a ride! When do you hope to get her back home?

Certainly not !!!

As the title suggests, this is going to another level ?.

You haven't seen nothing yet, got some Work wheels for it and a bespoke exhaust being putting together by Infinity in Bristol.

Several months yet, absolute no pressure on PZ from me.

Gone are the aftermarket FUCA's, standard ones are now back on and fit with correction kit.

Buy Whiteline Front Camber Correction Kit - KCA348 | Demon Tweeks (demon-tweeks.com)

And new bushes.

Whiteline Upper Control Arm Bushing Kit - Front Suspension (KCA336) | Driftworks.com

 

The OEM fucas with adjustable whiteline bushes is the way I'm going. Just finishing up painting the arms and waiting on KCA336 being delivered. 

Can you clarify something for me though - I though only the KCA336 kit would be needed? What's the reason for the KCA348 kit too? 

I’ll be lowering mine but nothing silly, I believe the kit is to correct the negative camber that I’ll create.

Also, Jim said buy, so I bought and plus it was only £70.

KCA336 give 0.5° adjustment +/-. 

I wonder if the additional bit offers more. 

10 years ago I upgraded to Pace side mount intercoolers but things have moved on.

I now have this kit from Z1, the B.A. sidemount Intercooler Set, as you can see I went with the red piping.

Wow ?

What wheels have you gone for Andy!

I’ve disclosed that they’re Work wheels and this time they’ll be 18 inch but that’s all you’re getting for now Joel.

7 months on order from Driftworks btw ?.

Close but no cigar.

I love getting up at 02:30 in the morning and seeing porn on my laptop! It looks amazing, I hope mine will look half this good one day... ?

UPDATE :- After a long cv19 blamed delay, I am informed my new Work wheels are in the country.

This post brings things up to present day, I have chosen this shape of quad exits and slash cut, I have also stressed the length must be to my liking also, the reason for the side on trial fit pic.

 

I have a heap of images saved of exhausts showing what I think is a perfect fitment position (identical to where you are placing yours) ready to show AAS exhausts later in the year when it goes to them for a custom set up. 

Liking the shape of yours, bit like the B&B ones. I'll be going round double twins I think. 

Yes, very similar to the 3 inch BB exhaust, you are correct.

I specifically wanted the oval tips and not the round.

Those look nice Andy. Are Infinity making the full system or just the "cat back" in 2.5" or 3" pipework? Any other silencing/

noise management apart from the back boxes?

As far as I am aware, infinity get what you see ‘in’, they’ll make the rest and it will be a 3 inch system throughout.

My last Alunox system was only 2.5” and is the reason for its replacement.

I have asked for resonators, hoping for a more refined note these days.

Very nice choice Sire ?
