Nice cut.....all I did was heat mine up and carefully bent it then used a rubber mallet to give it shape.

it's actually not that much work over an SR swap besides running new fuel line and exhaust

BiG MiKE86 · 09-22-2013, 09:16 PM

Got a new drive shaft in with beefier joints and the correct length

Installed

Baller hardware holding shaft in place

Installed Freed Engineering FPR mount - awesome part

Started tucking the fender harness on both sides as well

Tucked the harness on the passenger side as well

Started putting the front end back on

Expecting Suspicious Garage Brake lines in from ACE UP MOTORSPORTS tomorrow ill install and update some more

conrad_s13.5 · 09-23-2013, 03:20 PM

Looks great man!

I got a buddy who can machine that throttle body down to about half the size to delete the throttle/traction control stuff if youre interested.

Itd keep things clean,.. like youre doing already

Is this the get nutz mount kit? Maybe it's just the picture but it looks like the engine can sit further back by another 2". Also your front clearance for a koyo rad and puller fans is looking very slim

The motor is actually almost touching the firewall. I'll get a pic tomorrow or the next time I work on it

Yes that's the get nuts lab kit

BiG MiKE86 · 10-25-2013, 07:21 AM

Started getting front end back on her

Picked up a set of these so I can see at night (looking to do the Hella H7 projector retrofit)

Sent the throttle body out to Nocturnal Motorworks in Missouri to a fellow Zilvian for some weight reduction

Got wiringspecialties harness about 90% installed now

Just need to make fuel lines this weekend to finish bolting up the intake manifold.. Got some -6AN Nylon braided line and fittings

Ordered this radiator hard pipe from CX Racing.. Hopefully get the cooling system buttoned up this week

conrad_s13.5 · 10-25-2013, 03:22 PM

awesome stuff man!

In rare cases do projectors look better than bricks,. I expect nothing but awesome tho!

Clearance from head to firewall

Clearance around starter

More coming soon

BiG MiKE86 · 10-26-2013, 05:45 PM

Had some time today to do a few things

Installed radiator with cheapo ISIS fans on the outside. I flipped the blades on the fans and gulped the polarity on em to run them as pushers. Bearings on em sound like shit - we'll see how long they last.

Made all of the engine bay fuel lines - just need to run to 2 lines to the tank now

Ran both lines right to the bottom of the firewall into the "Y" fitting

Random pics of the lines and routing

BiG MiKE86 · 10-28-2013, 09:30 PM

Picked up some much needed driveshaft bolts from NISSAN - Nothing like shiny new OEM hardware

Then the throttle body came in from Nocturnal MotorWorks came back all machined and ready to be mated back to the intake manifold

Going to be ordering an Aeromotive or equivalent inline fuel filter tomorrow. Thinking of going with a 10 micron filter element unless anyone has any reason I shouldn't

BiG MiKE86 · 10-30-2013, 07:57 PM

Just got an OEM lower radiator hose from TOYOTA for $15

I'll be fitting this up along with the CXRacing upper radiator pipe tomorrow and ill post my findings
