Well I can say for sure that the oil cooler is doing its job. I haven't seen temps pass 180* during normal driving around and its consistently in the 90's

Well I can say for sure that the oil cooler is doing its job. I haven't seen temps pass 180* during normal driving around and its consistently in the 90's here. At the track yesterday I hit 200* compared to 230-235* at the last track meet.
I made the jump from 5w40 to 20w50 as well so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Almost finished gathering everything!
I am waiting on intercooler piping & turbo fittings before I put the car in the air.

Final round of parts have been purchased! Charles from CJ-M fixed me up with the S1.SE fuel system and a Walbro 450 and the rest of the exhaust materials and turbo fittings are in route from Summit.
I decided last minute to go flex fuel since the company I work for is now a VP Fuels dealer and we get the X85 at an awesome price, so I need to get the sensor and pig tail for that to work out. Motor will be pulled early next month to get the turbo's on and all the intercooler and exhaust fab work done.

Got up off my *** today and fab'd up the cold side piping. I'm trying to spread out the fab work as best I can so it's not so overwhelming when I pull the motor.
I still have the hot side, intakes and the entire exhaust to fab. I'm going to have to order one of those universal washer bottles off amazon to put in the trunk since there was no way the stock one is going to work.

will do!
Picking up the fuel system and the rest of the turbo lines in Miami next week. Only hold up now is to get the company car (R53 mini that sheered 3rd gear) back up and running so I have something to drive while the Z goes under the knife

Fittings and fuel parts galore! Omnipower 4 bar GTR map sensor No idea what this this Magnaflow is going to muffle but that's my fault for going 4" single exit

More Pics!
The plumbing is gonna be fun to tighten up Hoping these lines are long (20 and 27") enough to reach the front of the block, I may have shorted myself. GTRTurboz thermostat housing adapter. I'm only using one hose for the heater. Partially assembled FPR one of the sexy CJM fuel rails Finishing the cold sides today by welding in the MAF flanges and cutting the holes out for them and the BOV's. Need to either weld a bead or make a vise grip bead roller too

Got in on some of Z1's blackfriday hotness. Ordered their transmission mount (to compliment their engine mounts that I got from Husam) and rear diff cover along with a new clutch switch since mine is giving me trouble when I try to start the car.

Well, stupid mistakes are the most expensive. I neglected to check my oil level when I was at the track sunday. Ran a rod bearing dry and now I need a rebuild.
I've been emailing all the vendors all day and trying to be realistic with myself and my goals. With varying time frames and some with me not wanting to supply a core I am not sure will be usable I am pretty sure I'm going with AAM and their stage 1. The upside is I'll get to see what the R35 turbo's can really do next year.

Yeah it was, there's only another year on the lease so we're all trying to enjoy it while we can

Yeah, the company running it (just a small group of racers) is hoping they get first offer at purchasing the land or continuing the lease once the current lease is up.
Since the car is going no where I've gone ahead and done the CJM mod's to the fuel pump holder and installed the Walbro 450. Will put that back in the tank this weekend. I am trying to get the financing secured to add a garage onto my house so fingers crossed I can get through with that so I have and area to do all this major work. Engine to swap, hot pipes to build, entire exhaust to build, fuel system to install, turbo's to install.
