350 Russ Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Good read, how dirty was the inside of your plenum? i changed my drivers side cam cover at christmas and cleaned out my throttle body and both upper and lower plenums, the thing i had most difficulty with was getting the wiring harness out of the way to get the new one in.

Arran Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Thanks chaps My upper plenum and throttle body were ok as they were cleaned a few months back but the lower plenum had some oil sitting in the galleries so that was duly cleaned with carb cleaner and tissue all good now. If there is an oil catch tank that isnt silly money id like one but so far they are all like 60quid plus which is silly imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Mcgoo Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Enjoying reading the updates. Where did you get the Motordyne lower plenum aramid gasket from? a UK stockist? Iv'e got to take my Kinetix SSV off again for a bit of work and thinking I may as well use one of these. I'm not really a lover of the metal OEM ones and always end up using instant gasket as well.

Arran Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Yet another update for the books! Had my interior booked in with Vlad to be carbon'd with a twist so last saturday saw me make my way up to the very nice Warwickshire to swap over interior, I also had booked myself in with Jack at Royal steering wheels for the return but that didnt go to plan but more on that later. Decided for my birthday back in February that the interior needed that extra touch as much i was happy with it, it just lacked that final touch so got in touch with Vlad about doing most of what could be done in cabon, I decided to go with a black base like normal carbon with half the weave in gold and then a gold candy lacquer to finish. After swapping over bits (thanks for the time and help Vlad, Much appreciated :thumb: ) the interior now looks like this Doorcard off (suprisingly easy!) Drivers side door card Passenger door card Steering wheel controls Complete centre console Gear surround with new gaiter, black alcantara with orange stitching Compartment lid and spare switch cover Top speedo trim The most important view the oil temp gauge will be going into the a pillar when oil cooler gets fiited Carbon key case and new reverse and fog LED's Carbon speedo face trim (need to put it on asap!) with new key built up and fresh nissan badge (oh the small anal things ) On the way back from Vlad's, i called into Jack at royal steering wheels place to get my new wheel fiited but once my wheel was off and the new one ready to go on, Jack showed it to me and it wasnt the correct spec id asked for so after some thought i decided to go with the new one for a week while he made me another one anyway to see how i get on but went to fit it and it was clearly from a crashed car as it didnt sit right at all. Jack was very appolagetic and ive been a customer of Jack's before so i know it was heartfelt, So back my old wheel went on and the drive home was without a new wheel no problem though as this week Jack is doing my other one so as soon as it comes in the post il be fitting it! So there we are for another update, there will be more over the coming weeks dont worry about that Thanks for reading Arran Edited March 9, 2014 by Arran 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattross1313 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Lovely additions a dude , love a splash of carbon on the interior. I was only saying to Buster yesterday how the steering wheel inserts transform the wheel. Can't wait to sort mine out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thanks chaps, it really does make a big difference to the interior. Can't wait for the steering wheel to finish it! Then just got to get the door card armrests covered in leather then make a start on researching headlining material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
