Have my brake ducts installed. Still have to install the backing plates and hoses to the ducts.
This group of pictures is how I made my template so that I can cut my holes in the bumper. |
Cool deal, it looks like it'll turn out bada$$..

I had a machine shop turn down the 4" OD of the reducer just enough so that it slips into the brake duct.

Datass!

The left side went real smooth far as installing the duct. The right side is/was another problem. The washer reservoir is in the way. I shorten the brake duct and reducer about an 1 1/4". Still wasn't enough. What I had to do was to cut the duct at an angle so that the reducer could clear the reservoir. I have to take a picture of that yet.

Got more work done. :D This is what the ducts look like now. I have the reducers epoxy to the ducts. That is the only way I could get the right side pieces to stay together.

Have the backing plates and hoses installed. :D
Remove the unit bearing. Easy trick to help you to remove it. Loosen the 4 bolts that hold it on. Back them back intil there is about 5 threads deep in the hole. Now put a socket and short extension on the bolt heads and hit with a hammer. It should push the unit bearing out. Once the unit bearing is out. wire brush clean both the unit bearing and the hole it sits in. Next use a flat honing stone and go over the mounting surfaces of the bearing and the spindle. You don't want any high spots that could cause you problems. Put the bolts in the spindle, then the backing plate, then the unit bearing. Now start your bolts and torque to spec. :tup: |

Now for the hoses. Since I'm using the Nismo RC brake ducts and the ZSpeed aluminum under pan diffuser. My routing of hoses is different then what Stillen shows in their instructions. You start at the brake ducts and work your way back to the backing plates. It's best to check your hoses after you install them with the tires on. This way you can see IF the tire WILL hit the hoses.

Ducts are looking good. Maybe I'd finally get to see this is u ever take a break from working on it and actually drive it sometime lol
|
looking good man!

If you track, and you go with a BBK, I can highly recommend the stoptech trophy kit.

When out and bought a tow hook from these guys for my Nismo. Installed it and it's about 2 1/4" too short.
