Anybody still interested???

Bit more done today.

Steering column

And cut down for a extra UJ to fit under the manifold.

Then I fooked about with ARB to give me bit more caster.

Think I'm Gona need some new arches.

Standard wing standard wheel. (5.5J).

A 7J wheel.

And I tried the 8J from the rear. Lol

After a spot of lunch I open a delivery to find it was the wiper motor I ordered so that was next.

Brackets made.

Trial fitted and tack in place.

And the LHD scuttle fitted to the single wiper conversion.

Then I welded up the hole for the old wiper arm and thought I better fill in some of the rusty holes.

Now I know the rad fits 100% I ordered a fan set up which turned up today so be rude not to try it on. 😊

Bit more done tonight.

Trying to get all the panel work finished off by the end of the month.

This is the water rail I had to cut change the angle a little and extend to meet up with the new rad position.

They will let heat air out as behind the wing it's just a big air block. But yeah I think the stock look on the out side too.

I can always do something later on.

Just had a little tidy up and pulled all the panels back off but had a play with one of the wings.

Thinking of pressing some holes in them too? Or is this just OTT???

I think it will look cool but should I just leave the outside looking smooth standard???

Quick trial fit of a few bits tonight.

And the bulkhead to scuttle finished off.

And first fit of the front. Gona need some tweeks but it ain't too bad.

Well had a play about with it it's not perfect but it looks ok from the engine bay side so that's fine.

O and I decided to bang some holes in the strut support panels too. 😎

And the ocd in me made me tidy up was getting bad. Swept up half a carrier full of grinding dust. 😕

That stuff is terrible gets every where.

The engine is Gona need a good clean and flush before I think about turning the key. 😔

Bit more done today A-post to bulk head panels.

Then made a panel to close the gap between the strut support and bulk head which went well.

Then I decided to punch some holes into it to let some of the heat out and on the last one the tool jammed up and creased the panel. 😢

So now do I try a beat it back into shape or cut it all out and start again.

I ment a pic of the duratec TB's

Just come across this thread..............awesome.

Defo a turbosport style of build.

 

Did i see your garage build on there a few years back ?

Yes mate that's me.

Don't get on there much any more very quite on there nowadays. 😢

Got pic of the engine bay with tbs?

 

the duratec?

I would think so.

The TB's on my duratec are advertised as a 20-30% gain in standard engine.

I've heard the Nissan ECU is tuneable so I would think 30hp would be a sensible figure to say you'll gain. With the extras I got on the engine ECU manifolds TB's I will be hoping to see 350hp and at least the same torques 😉

And on my little 13's that should make it interesting 😊

Wow now that's what you call a build thread hats off to you! Looking forward to see the progress, never seen throttle bodies on a zed before ? What are the benefits ? Looks badass !

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For me it was mainly about space and looks.

But the benefits are more air in = more power out and with the aftermarket ECU it will be very tuneable resulting in a fair few more ponys.

Best bit tho I think will be the noise they make my old duratec had a hell of a induction noise this sound be 50% more being a 6pot over the old 4pot. 😎

Watch this with the volume at MAX you can hear my car come round tower when the BMW is on the grass. 😂

Bottom rad mounts done.

And number three Jack.

Just one more tonight. 😋

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

New rad came today.

Wanted to you standard fitting parts instead of custom built unit just for ease of replacement if necessary but looks a little too big.

But after a quick look on the car I could lean the rad back a little that would help getting the heat out too.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another one in.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got on it for a bit today.

1down 3 to go.

Also have hatched a plan with a mate to give it a big push forward so all body work should be done by the end of January all going well.

New Years resolution get the fook on with it.
