UPDATE:

The electrician had some family problems hence the delay but he is trying to come once or twice a week to finish off the things. Once the wiring was done some wires from the harness got disconnected so car is having problem in getting started.

I brought back the car to the workshop to get the fuel fine, fuel return channel and other pending intercooler piping done. All is done installed some new couplers and New Injectors as well as stock one were not fitting with this fuel rail.

Everything looks good just the wiring once its started needed to be cleaned up

Air filter is installed as well went for mushroom style because of lack of space

Fuel system all ready

Regulator moved to a better place

Changed the battery terminals as well

Battery kill switch will go inside the dashboard console along with AC switches

Bought Cusco Oil Catch Can (original JDM lol) form the shop owner as he was storing it for last two years so will be installed with a breather filter

Got a good deal on HKS BOV as well, will install after starting the car

Thinking of selling and removing the rear spoiler

Car was dirty as hell but still love the paint job

Oh yeah...can't wait. It's definitely coming along really nicely

Huckleberry · 09-19-2012, 02:06 PM

Sorted out the wiring 80% (just cleaning up is left and some gauges hook up)

Took the car to Fox for exhaust fabrication, went for 2.5" (inline with future NA plans) custom fabrication of down pipe with single resonator and muffler I used from HKS 2.5" inlet 4" outlet. The exhaust has steep clearance as there was a space near the differential to pass it but rear sway bar was blocking it. Anyways looks and sounds amazing.

Fitment time

Resonator

Downpipe

Blocking space

Finished

Ground Clearance

Also fitted HKS BOV

Current work going on, got a relay box just finalizing the wiring

Moved the AC controller in the (so called) glove box

Gauges are installed except boost controller (will do later)

Fabricated stock fan controller unit but will move gauges down to headunit part and then do the whole in carbon fiber, it will have light on top, then AC Vent then custom space with some lights (hazard, high beam, AC and Alternator) and toggle switches for Fan and AC and boost controller then three gauges.

Finally there is a seat in the car

Have a short clip of exhaust sound will post once upload it

Project moving towards final finish in full swing.

Will be taking the car to the painter nest week to repaint front fenders and install all the parts like rubbers and some other small stuff, then carpet inside. So only two major things left so hopefully will be able to finish sometime in November.

I installed R200 from 300ZX before but with 240Z half shafts they bottom out so one option was to trim the half shafts or change it back to R180 (240z comes with R180 and rest R200). There is a company by name of Betamotorsports in California same company who made my coilovers when car was in california. They do every six months a GB to make custom Stub Axle with which you can install Sti 2004-2005 CLSD and 2006 VLSD differential in 240z. Surprisingly Sti uses same R180 differential and its a bolt on application in 240z just the spline count is a problem.

Stock Stub axle is 29 spline in 240z and Sti has 27 so this is what I got its not a welded piece but a single piece so wont break and very durable. Excellent reviews on these

This goes in Sti diff

This matches 240Z halfshafts

Here is the diff, I have been told its from 2006 which should be 3.5 clutch pack one VLSD diff. Much better then stock open one and best is its pretty much new as well. People with Sti are running this fine upto 450whp so more then enough for my needs.

Stub axle fitted

I also got the seats delivered today, ordered it last month. Was in between Bride and other but then went with these. These are one by the same manufacturer of lots of OEM Recaro for different cars and OMP seats. These are full carbon fiber frame and same as GT3 bucket seats just with recline function. Keeping inline with my interior plan asked them to make it in black leather and alcantara with red stitching.

b1adesofcha0s · 10-23-2012, 01:44 PM

Those seats look great

Mr&Mrs · 10-23-2012, 02:18 PM

Awesome! Can you send me some of those seats with blue stitching?

simota1 · 10-23-2012, 03:04 PM

wow doc those seats look freaking great man!!!
