Anyone fitted these before.

I need to know a few things to see if I'm being strung up once again.

 

With the manifolds do the bolts need to be shortened or do they fit straight on ?.

 

Do the JWT530bb's fit straight on without hitting the block or do you need to modify something for them to fit. I'm using HKS actuators with them if that helps. ?

 

The Nismo 555's, do they come with seals or do you need to order them seperate ?. Or do they come with the complete engine bebuild gasket set.

i think it'll be worth it :) then he can finish my engine!!

Hey Jaffa, did you ever give Martyn that envelope for £100?

 

Or can I have it back? lol

Erm,

 

Are you asking me ?. I'll take £12k + shipping thank you very much LMAO !!!

 

UPDATE !!

 

Engine is now in, Gearbox is now in, new uprated rps clutch and flywheel fitted, 1 piece carbon fitted (thanks Jaffa got it on there eventually).

 

Still to do, sort all the wiring up - weld in the flexi pipes to where the cats used to be - clean it up - start the engine - cross fingers !

fingers & toes crossed for you bud! :D

Thought I'd put some piccies up as well.

 

 

New Clutch and flywheel fitted.

 

 

 

Gear box fitted and connected up to the 1 piece carbon driveshaft.

 

 

 

Exhausts needed modification to sit right, so a few inches needed to be removed to get the length and the correct angle for the Greg Dupree downpipes.

 

 

 

Fitted to check cleances and balance.

 

 

 

Removed and flexi pipes installed (reccommended to reduce chance of manifold cracking). Surface rust cleaned off and coated with rust treatment coat.

 

 

 

The End is near !!!!

 

Still to do, reassemble rad and twin pop, PAS & A/C connection and fill, engine wiring, testing & tuning.

my rps flywheel had cyn-r-g plastered all over too...

 

thought z1 had sent me some crappy lookalike at first lol... even phoned them up saying 'wtf's this rubbish youve sent me' :rofl:

 

shame its gets covered up though... the build looks as though its coming on nicely chap :D

 

i must say though... it makes me cringe to see you jacking it on the sill join though :confused:

I was sure that's where the jacking points are ??? :confused:

It is, but you're meant to use a pad with a slot in it so that the car is actually resting on the flat areas either side of the knife edge, not on the actual knife edge itself..

 

How long do you reckon until it is done ?

I was sure that's where the jacking points are ??? :confused:

the sill jacks that you get in the boot are designed to go there but they are contoured to the shape of the sill to spread the load and prevent damage...

 

i use some thick neoprene and the chassis rail box section to jack mine

 

 

or

 

looking good Stu, hopefully not much longer...

any updates?

Only just managed to get hold of him today after 3 weeks of not much progress.

He's working on it again today, boost hoses are a little bit of a problem due to clearance and the turbo's are not sitting the same as the stock ones. But he thinks it shouldn't be a big issue. He's hoping to have it ready by the weekend. But will let me know tomorrow.

 

It's getting closer and closer and I'm really looking forward to driving it again.

It's almost ready :hyper: :hyper:

 

Should be with me by the weekend, but then how many times have I said that :)

 

Engine now in and assembled, all wiring almost done. Doolz fitted (need another Apexi as only 1 of the two new ones I had were for a 300zx :confused: )

 

 

New headlights fitted. Front bumper back on.

 

Looking good mate. I remember on the way to a meet when we left Leicester a few years ago and it sounded awesome! Could hear it for miles and you were going for it!

How you doing anyway Mike :)
