Hi Andy yes working towards getting the 350z on the road as soon as possible without cutting any corners.  It will need a little bit of running in to get all the bugs ironed out

So the conclusion is that the exhaust is too low  needs alterations to bring it up  off the ground power steering fluid needs bleeding and other small bits 

I'm on a roll at the moment so wanted to check the car outside the garage to get a better idea of what is okay and what is going to need to alter before I get it to the m.o.t. center and back on the road. 

  So had to finish off loads of bits and pieces  plus tidy up the garage, before we got it out  the noise when I am turning the steering wheel is the power steering pump needs bleeding

Hi everyone just getting a much welcome break after Christmas, and getting back to working on the 350z, we're I'm happiest. 

   Just before I stopped on the billd before Christmas, I  Had a problem with the oil pressure not registering on any instruments, So while I was working i tryed to figure out what it was,  anyway it came down to either the oil pressure sensor or the oil relocation kit,  so instead of doing one and then the other because we all know whatever we do first it's always the other part that requires replacing  so I just done both, and I'm pleased to say that it has solved this problem .

There's a couple more things but nothing serious 

Thanks Martin much appreciated 

Well it's been a long time since I've posted  on the form I have been very busy at work . The car has had very little work Done on it Since last time.

I will be finishing off the  Transplant In January. I have been  busy buying some parts  to start the process for making the car look different later on i will tackle the breaks and suspension 

Love the front chin it's is an absolute awesome build, keep up the good work

Spotted this 370z 50th anniversary edition,  looks better in the flesh, south end ponds, Downham , Bromley 

Oh i do hope so, yes please 

Thanks Martin much appreciated for the great day good on track action and loads of cars 

For everyone going a summary of what is going on 

Hi everyone small update have managed to finish off the MAF sensor and the intake air temperature sensor which has been installed into the aluminium intake 

Also I have installed a cold air intake for the 350z this can be used for any 350z there's a video on the next page  showing how!

I'm trying my hardest to get the car finished off and show her off with  Martin in his Datsun sss coupe, which is by the way lovely 

Running a little bit better 

Bit more progress coming together now and the engine bay is looking tight.  I have changed the stock fans to  Mishimoto it also helps with extra cooling and clearance,  for the air intake i probably will change the size of the intake and colour of the pipes? Not sure yet I'm just concentrating on getting this up and running still waiting for a few parts but not many 

Did have a play with the  running and seems to be working nicely 

I will put on the forum the rest of the  build obviously,  but I will also let everyone know how reliable it has been and any problems I come across also driving pleasure per gallon ,also give a reasonable pricing and different ways of taking on a project like this!!

I've owned a few v8s  and my c5 Corvette is still the best car I have driven  and owned. Petrol was never an issue mileage per gallon. 

And I think your build is awesome and enjoy. 

Thank you very much for your kind response, much appreciated. 

My idea has always been to bring both worlds together and use the GM, Ls series engine are very undestmated in this country and the cd09 gearbox together with 350z chassis hopefully will make enjoyable fun combinations. 

More importantly reliable in the long term  .
