Damn...Killer build! Are you going to add a hydro e-brake?

tdaffern

Thanks guys, I wish I had fab skills like this too. Daniel is the mad genius behind the fab work.

Yes it will get a hydro break eventually.

We have been slacking a bit this week. I'm expecting the arrival of my third child this Saturday So I've been getting things ready at the house. Hopefully back on the car hard mid next week.

Sorry for the lack of updates. It's been a crazy month and a half. We had the arrival of my third child on November 3rd. It was a rough birth for him and my wife. Not easy getting a ten pound baby out lol.

Anyway the car has been on hold with the new baby as well as doing side work. Daniel took on a rb25 swaped s14. Kid had it in three different shops through out a year. The car had never even been started. All the shops fucked this kid. But glad to say as of yesterday he finally got to drive his car for the first time.

As far as my car goes we hope to start wiring sometime this week. Hopefully start getting some real updates for you guys.

Thank again everyone for the kind words and motivation.

real motivation to pick up the pace and keep the quality high on my build.

Like Troy said above the car was set back a little to make some extra cash.

We took on a s14 s2-rb25 swap that two other shops couldn't do. After the kid spent well over 4k in the swap not including the motor he contacted me to help him. The two shops that attempted this swap did some really janky work. The Wiring Specialties harness wasn't installed rite - they took the doors apart and disconnected the window motors - all the break lines on the BMC were lose - someone cut the driver side frame horn to fit the fmic in - all the front body panels were lose - cut the hood latch / light mounts off the upper core - the whole exhaust was sealed with red RTV Silicone and alot of other shit we had to go through.


Not really going to go into the wiring because it was a easy fix. They had the abs plugs pluged into the CAS/Injector plugs so a quick swap some replacement fuses and boom motor started up.

After the motor was running i took on the cooling system. You can see here where i sectioned the core support out and re boxed it in for the added strength. Needed to do this because he wanted to use the oem mounts and run some 12'' E-Fans.



finished core


after that was done i took on the hood latch mount.

Start of the latch



Finished latch mount


After that i did the light mounts No in process pics
Here are the mounts


Mounts welded to the core


I love dimple's


The oem BOV was shot so the kid picked up a HKS SSQV v2

The flange i welded to the cold pipe



Installed the R32 fron breaks.


Bench Bleeding the z32 BMC


Throttle cable mount


There were alot of other small shit to do with the wiring and power windows im not going to bore you with. We still have some other bugs to work out but there samll.

As of now the car runs amazing sounds amazing and the fire balls this thing shoots makes it even better.


If you ever look into doing a swap and want a shop to do it ( Please research the shop ) This kid is out alot of money for two inexperienced shops claiming they can do this kinda work. Its easy and no one should over pay for anything. I had to fix so much bull shit that should of never been done or touched.

Forgot to add here is my flickr account Flickr: s13phocker's Photostream if you would like to see more pics of this car that i didnt post.
