its not perfect but i got it pretty damn close... took me about 3 hours wrestling with it :shakes head: and filing some of the holes bigger.... :(

hey man yah the cooling plate is a PITA to align... the dampers were ok... my only problem since they did make contact i didnt want anything scratching the covers after i clear them... :( plus on top of that if my battery died its a pain in the *** to remove the PWJDM...

i dont even wanna deal with doing that... the box that it came in is f*ckin huge bro i would estimate to ship it back would cost easily more than 150 cuz of the size... plus i know PWJDM knows there cooling plate is not perfect.... if this is the fitment of the V2 cooling plate i could only imagine the horror of the original ones...

I understand bro, you should at least let them know how it is so they can fix it for other people. That's ridiculous especially on how much they cost. I ordered mine already I am calling today to cancel it cause I don't want to lose my hood struts I hate that hood stick it ruins the engine look I think.

yah man :( i miss my hood struts... the donkey stick sucks!!!

I'll buy your hood struts :stirthepot: :rofl2: JK.....

I know you will get every straightened out and done proper (how you want it) you have over come all the other little bumps throughout your build and gotten that Z look sweet! GL dealing with PWJDM hope you can get some answers :tup:

thanks for your kind words man.... :D i really appreciate it....

on a brighter side.... im negotiating the TOP SECRET Engine Cover with my friend in japan DAYTONA RACING.... I also asked him to look if he could get me a ARC reservior tank/oil catch can :tup: ive decided to get real serious with going JDM... im tired of buying parts twice because im not truly happy with them you know?

Jon, for the arc can u should go to rhdjapan cause shipping here to Guam is straight from Japan and it takes a week and is only like 23.00 I think check it out bro.

thanks for the tip man... i needa replinish my funds first.... maybe mid feb ill get the arc.... :D

I am not a baller like you but I can't decide from the arc can or the top secret can. Both are so sweet

lmao this guy not a baller? bro your other car is sweet also and is baller status man!!!!


the top secret cans are to die for man.... but at least the arc kills two birds with one stone....

Thanks bro, if my car ever gets done lol. I hope to have the parts back on Guam this week. Bro, these cars are a money pit never satisfied with anything done to the car always wanting more. We will have to have a meet when everyone's car is ready to go.

i always told my self i would never exceed or come close to 20k in mods.... when i passed that marker... i stopped counting because it hurt my feelings already lol..... :( these cars are money pits indeed....not to mention shipping is a mofo too :( and i know what you mean when you are always wanting more...

:iagree: Z cars are always work in progress because you are never done with it lol :tup:

So ive figured out wtf is wrong with my damn PWJDM covers... the stupid people that made it.... made it so damn thick where the two bolts area (center portion) :shakes head: it was about 1/4 thick or it had a big air bubble on both sides... this was the reason why it was not sitting properly.... i almost cracked the cover because i was slamming the hood to close it :( luckily i noticed the stress cracks forming...

Now here is the shitty part, saturday when i installed it, i made the slots even longer so that the holes would line up that was a big no no.... since the holes are bigger the cover moves around now. I needa re fiberglass the holes and then drill the holes once more... If i dont do this the cover will hit my hood sometimes, if i get lucky it doesnt hit. I opened and closed my hood about 20 times after i address the center portion and it hits about 50% of the time... I dont want that especially after i have it recleared... ive already dropped off the battery compartment covers to get cleared :D

a lil update.... i fixed the cooling plate... thank god... i filled it with fiberglass and got the holes exactly :tup: so all the pieces are at the body shop right now and getting clear coated....

so ive decided to add another piece to my ongoing engine bay.... i will most likely get the Top secret oil catch cans instead of the arc and the Top secret strut bar that way everything is Top secret.... after all is said and done... i believe my car deserves this...
