I have a question. Do you think any of that stuff you drilled out behind the front shock towers and removed will affect the rigidity of the front end? It kind of looks like it might, but I can't really say, I have never had a good look at a 350Z engine bay.

nah, that tubbing shouldn't affect anything. even if it did, my cage design involves it going through the fire wall and connecting to the shock towers. also, we are doing a tubular bash bar setup front/rear and plenty of bracing with the cage and other braces that are going on the car.

hah stay in school! i work all the time though; i do construction, automotive tech, and I work at a wedding facility (the last one being the most fun).

as for an update, still waiting for the transmission to show up.......along with some other items hah and could be months till the voltex stuff shows up at my door. im definitly not meeting my deadline which im not happy about, but i guess it takes time to get it done right the first time around. stay tuned and I will do my best to update more often.

What flange is that on your manifold, and why did you go with that flange? By the way, this build is way cool!

Marvin, what intake manifold are you going to be running? I know the Mazworx VE doesn't fit with the shock tower being so far in towards the motor. I'm currently working on my VE swap as well, however I don't have a build thread just yet here, although I do have one on a local forum.

in the sr20vet thread on here (put a link in here for you), there is a picture of a billet intake manifold with curved runners. I am trying to see about getting one machined for me except having the runners curve down like an S13 sr oem intake manifold. I need it to curve down so that the IC piping can stay relatively short, because the plenum is under the runners, which in turn...makes it take up much less space. Also allows for much more torque, which I wouldn't mind getting.
