Thanks man

Update 24-12-2012:

Engine & Transmission are in! That purple manifold is slowly growing on me to be honest. What do you think?



Engine mounts looking good



Just can't get enough of this engine



Aftermarket swaybars shouldn't be a problem I guess

This is an awesome build! Are you planning to paint the car too? It would b a good time to do a colour change while the motor is out.

No plans on painting the car now to be honest, and let's just say the engine should be out again in summer haha

Cool project, but why would you do this if you said you didnt want to sell your kidney to fund a build this is a lot more than your standard VQ build.

In for more....do you plan to run OEM gauges (like spedo/rpm/etc. and A/C controls)?

I still haven't crossed the price of a GTM Turbo Kit And that's with both the engine and transmission swapped.

I hope so

Update 28-12-2012:

OEM foot e-brake out, R33 clutch pedal to replace it. I'm going to the scrap yard tomorrow to try and find a G37/370Z clutch pedal as it would hopefully be a direct swap.



Tial BOV..



Intercooler piping almost done



Turbo clearance "slightly" better



Power steering pump pulley is too close to the radiator fans, the mechanic is thinking of throwing in a small spacer to push it further out





Fuel rail with the injectors in



Cam angle sensor



Thread made for water temp sensor



Hmmm... which wastegate spring to go for..





Driveshaft customization done!





Transmission spacer



We're getting somewhere!

Update 31-12-2012

My shift knob is here



That sway bar is a little too close to what looks like an idler pulley, wonder if it can be relocated. Bummer I was hoping to go with thicker sways.



Customized adapter for the clutch pedal



And another one for the accelerator



Here's what it all looks like, will have to get the clutch pedal aligned later on!

Update 08-01-2012:

Great news! The car was started to check for leaks, minor leak in the turbo oil feed was fixed and MAN did it sound like a monster. Stay tuned for video's If everything goes as planned she should be going for ECU wiring & exhaust fabrication tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Here are some pics for now.

Oil cooler is in



OEM wiring with ignition system



Pedals are in and functioning properly!



Close up on the accelerator pedal, was a b!tch to get right the mechanic tells me
