Im not so sure as what to do now? I was going to remove the APS kit of the damaged engine and then clean it up and refit it to my original engine. Then may be build the damaged engine up with new aftermarket rods,pistons ect.. and if/when my stock block failed then swap over the engines. I may just build the full engine on the stand and then swap over the whole motor and go for big power straight away???? I will look at a koyo rad and a large oil cooler down the road for sure.. Im also looking at evan's NGP supercoolant too if any one has used it before. (it turns the stock coolant system into a pressure less system and helps stop hot spots so i beleave??) Yeah mate 400bhp should knock a few seconds off!! Just a few more pic's (sorry about the quality just off my iphone) of whats happened today. I managed to get the crank pulley off (huge braker bar and lots of grunting!! haha..) this allowed me to take the front timing cover off, ready to get the heads off next. I also whipped the lower block oil pan off just for some more access to things. Not long till im spooling my self silly!!

THIS IS MY BUILD THREAD LIFTED FROM THE OTHER 350Z FORUM FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED LOL.... After a long time think of what i wanted to do with the zed tossing between supercharging and turbo's i've finally taken the plunge!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!! I have been looking at kits made in the USA for LHD cars but i came across this deal and could not say no. Its the full (old grarrett turbo's not the new crap chinese copy's) APS TT kit. It come with the full APS fuel system and hydra nemisis ECU thrown in. The kit was still fitted to a VQ35DE with 34k miles on it when i picked it up. So i now have a second block to play with if after ive stripped it down it checks out ok. The engine looks to have a blown head gasket or broken ring land on cylinder 6. the compression test was great across 1-5 but cylinder 6 was down on pressure. Its been a fun few days last week because i managed to drag a mate down to essex with me in a merc 208d van! 80 mph top speed and no radio!!! 476 miles round trip and over 8 hours driving and i had my engine back in the garage!! Ill keep this thread up dated when i get things done but ill post a few pics of what's happened so far... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. So far the Plenum (upper and lower) has been removed, fuel rails and injectors, sump, driver and passenger turbo's, manifold's, oil and coolant lines, oil pump, front belts, both belt tensioner's, and the passenger side Cam cover, coil packs and spark plugs. Im having a little trouble getting the crank pulley off because the engine wants to turn?? I think im gonna need an impact gun! LOL..

Have you seen my set up mate? Its in my build thread over on the other forum. Not get links to the pics anymore... two can custom set up with NRV for vacuum and boost

I'm interested in the space set

Thanks for the pics. That's a decent size gap tbf. I'm sure this can be sorted mind you. Keyser what was stopping you mounting this further back (when the small lip spoiler is removed?) grundy said that was as far back as it would go?

Grundy can you get a few snaps of how it's fixed under the boot lid please

Any chance of close up pics of the point where it mounts to the boot? Can you not bend the uprights a small amount so the feet sit glass to the boot?

Anyone else fitted there's yet?

Come on guys! We need more fitted pics!

Come on guys! I need more fitted pics!
