Great progress, how many oil coolers do you have? Im struggling sorting my one out

taking shape nicely already

Similar to what Veilside had seen and this one didnt even have a flame kit I dont think

Good shout, and good price to, I remember people talking about drilling out swirl jets etc so I just gave mine to Bennett to do

Epic car and wheels B)

Thanks Buddy, I have one of those on the final straight now

Only just seen this! Thanks for the Birthday Love guys, spent most of it at work and went out and suffered heavily today Got a few cool pressies this year Most importantly being the cordless Dremel my misses and neighbour chipped in to get after witnessing me on Sunday trying to figure out how to get a 50 metre extension lead across the road and a bit to my garage to Dremel that stupid hole for the supercharger I believe they came to the cordless conclusion after I waited for the neighbours across the road to go out and attempted to chuck the plug over there fence across the garden and over the fence on the other side it was never going to make it I just need to find out what Dremel bit Dunks used to do his out of the 250 piece kit I got

Awesome Dunks, I was there not long ago and brings back awesome memories, good to have another charged zed joining the clan, I bet you get it tuned before me im a nightmare Also the rest of your zed looks great some well put together mods there

No worries will PM you Bennett, it was much easier with the bracket especially with the holes already drilled, I took a punt praying the holes matched the oil cooler mounts and they did, other wise that would be another part in the pile of 'send it back as it doesnt fit or wont work ' Im nearly there just got to dremel that stupid hole out for CAI which is doing my nut in, can you send me those pics?

Good idea, il take a look at some mesh now, want something flexble enough so I can mould round the hole if possible, ive got a sneaky idea for the other two holes now aswell

Thanks Stu, there is not a lot of room at all! Well at the moment there is a couple of mm to spare but may shave off a bit more just to be on the safe side but the crash bar stops the bumper going back any further anyway. Will also shave off the area around where the lines connect, am going to fabricate some sort of blank off plates for the holes in case its a very cold day and I need to drive the zed. Still haven't sorted the number plate out either or where its going

Exhibit A from a couple of years back http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/64713-look-what-a-firework-done/ Crappy fireworks

Headed out today while I had some time to measure up and fit oil cooler rough mock up with some holes drilled already, Took a while to get the Mocal mount in the right place and the holes marked out properly on the crash bar Then routed and connected oil lines All bolted up, i still need to cut one more threaded bar and am short about 9 washers and nuts but at least thats the easy bit Bumper back on and lines fit nicely inside bumper and round Setup back to sandwich plate After all the faffing around....oil cooler bang in front of Veilside holes

I was tempted by this but the zed has a very long front and pretty sure I would just ground out before my front wheel was even near the ramp because of my front bumper, didnt want to wast the money trying to find out, you maybe ok with standard bumper but not sure

This is so true and just when you think you know it all something else will come up. Tell me about it, im nearly there though now then im touching nothing Thats a decent price nissanman312 though being a 370 im not surprised by cost of kit

likewise with Andybp if you can do a lot yourself its cuts the costs down dramatically, I know my final figure is a lot healthier from doing a lot myself or with help of others, do plenty of reading if you are going to go down this route, you really have to fully understand everything before hand to make an informed decision on which way you are going to go

I think its the cheap chinese knock offs that are the problem a few people have said dont buy any that dont have a UK 3 pin plug on it as standard. Not sure about balance but would imagine its similar to snowboarding... Though you could end up like below

looks awesome I always wanted a black zed like that

like a glove!! ive made enough room so I can mount the oil cooler lower down and directly in front of the holes as at the moment it is sitting a bit higher To help with the **** angled mountings I bought these mounts to help the situation nearly ready for permanent mounting

had to take quite a bit off in the end

Bumper back inside and got the trusty angle grinder out and went from this to this

Bit of a pointer...measure your oil cooler mountings after you fit the supercharger All the marks and measuring I did before were made redundant because the intercooler piping wasnt in place before This meant the oil cooler couldnt go where I originally planned and will now probably have to be at a half cocked angle om the crash bar not a problem you say...go to put bumper back on and.... yes!! the holes in the Veilside hit the oil cooler and stop the bumper from lining up properly

That is a serious amount of effort, looks great , I want purply bits now

last time i did it i unbolted the seat and leant it forward against steering wheel then just unclipped everything

And that's still a load of hassle and a lot of money !! ^^ this, im still faffing about with mine and its still not been on a dyno yet
