all done

working in progress...

what i realy whant is a V2 bumper

are you interested in some V2 bumper grup buy?

oem stuff

this waiting for the machine shop is killing me.

while im waiting i started to paint some parts

Man... was all of this inside my engine?

I ordered a rebuild of the OEM nissam clutch disk with organic ferodo. some of my friends cars uses this material with the OEM parts.

The advantege is that the clucht feels like OEM but it can thake ALOT more Torque

Only ever seen two 350s over here; one was mine and the other was on UK plates so I'm guessing a tourist. Are there any others around you at all?

give me a call if you ever came to Lisbon, i have alot of projects in hands, A kit car, a track day 106 an AE86 turbo ... (if your a petrolhead off course)

and i only have seen 1 350z and a 370Z portuguese

they are rare around here

Great pictures Alex. Where in Portugal are you by the way?

Lisbon / Sintra

removing the head

what about compression fail??

any guess?

I guess that´s it?

and this one??? what you think it is?

any guess?

Nice and clean

All desasembled ready to go to the machine mam...

todays work

preparing the engine to go to the machine especialist

new photo update.

i know you all like photos...

starting at 8:30 AM

10:30 am

starting to remove it

job done

Engine without some parts

Hubs match up ok? Or did you make spacers for them to fit on?

nop... no need to mess arund with the hub, the braket use unly the oem studs holes.

2 holes for the oem studs and 3 new ones for the r35 calipers

big ?

Loving the GTR brakes, much hassle to fit? custom brackets?

Yeah I noticed the cosworth head gaskets but there are quite a few nissan oem ones that need replaced when doing a full strip/build, What do you plan on reving to?(what are the BC springs rated for).

Didn't know cosworth did 10.3 comp pistons, good choice and as you say the meth should help avoid knock with lower intemp.

yes i made some costum brakets

this is not the one that i made, i guess i never taken a photo of it, but is just like it

except for the machine work and ALOT of time i guess it came ok

the gaskets wil be oem Nissam

the sprigs are in just for a safe 8k rpm. i guess its ok until 8500 rpm but this is a street car and i will do 8k unly a couple of times... i guess.

That's lovely !!!! Those brakes look massive , love it

if you ever came to Portugal i will tell you the best spots in Europe to surf.

i´m a BB too.

Nice parts list Alex.

10.3:1 CR is equal to stock CR. Should be ok as you will be making just under 500whp with the V3 if you use the 2.87 pulley. The issue you will have is keeping AITs down with a very efficient Intercooler and avoiding belt slip. The STS Vortech intercooler will not cut it.

I did not get any belt slip when I upgraded my serpentine belt to the gates HD belt.

Keep the build and pics coming������

 

thanks for the advice

i have done the mods on the vortech belt with a new gates heavy use and with adicional two pulleys near the vortech pulley, no slip at all.

intercooler not a problem meth keep down the internal temp.

 

Aha, missed the fact you have meth. What are planing to tune with? UPrev or standalone ECU?Personally I would avoid meth injection and use water only if AITs are high but it's just easier to spec an appropriate intercooler. Reduces complexity, running cost and the need to get a steady meth supply. The same reason I would not use n2o. I have the mega efficient treadstone TR1245 intercooler which is rated over 1000hp. I also know somebody using it and pushing out 760whp with the Vortech V7 sc and no meth. His AITs are just a few degrees over ambient and he has no issues even on track/gymkhana. In anycase whatever works for you it will be interes to follow your build������

your absolut right, i will take a look at this intercooler, thanks.

about the meth i have no worries because i work with this product.

i tune with UPREV, and if the forum allows i have to thank MARK GILLIAM from ABBEY MOTORSPORT cause i´m a pain in the ass and he always help me with my tune. (I tune myself on a friends dyno)

Thank you MARK

Sorry if i brake any rule

today’s pictures

sorry for the poor quality pictures, the sun wasn’t an allied its way too hot.

Nice!! Looking forward to seeing this progress

 

You seriously need a S/C in your life Graham!

i know...

but i will upgrade first the suspencion and with some luck a V2 front bumper or a front spoiler ...

Any chance you can post some good quality pictures of the car with the 370 Nismo wheels on?

 

Also anyone know where I can get a set? (I'm sure they are super expensive)

i will try to take a nice pics of the car as it is now.

those wheels look sooooo good

 

thanks i love him ALOT, live they are

i was buying the TE37 or CE28 volk but i was in love with this...

i´m happy but i know that there is someone somewere thinking that i´m crazy.

Where did you get the fluidampr as it's one of the last puzzle pieces for my build. The items you have look like good quality stuff, did you buy an engine gasket rebuild kit? What compression pistons did you go for i thought cosworth only did high and low? L17 head studs? Watching with interest.

mate

All came from a friend from the US

the fluidampr = usa

nop the engine gaskets are the cosworth if i need some others minor gaskets will be Nissam OEM

the compression ratio is 10:3 youcan see here http://tomitaka.com/...heets v1.0a.pdf

I think that for a supercharger setup this ratio is the best because i can control knock event and make more power that with the 8:8 CPRatio

L17 headstuds are ok, no need L19 remember, supercharger not turbo... and... i never see an engine fail because of the studs... not even with nissan OEM studs. but i think that my 202-4701 are L19??
