marzman Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Picked up my cooling panel from Chris at Japfest and finally fitted it this weekend. Got to say i'm very happy with it - it's a great bit of kit. I needed to adjust the bonnet latch as per Chris' guide, but other than that it was a very easy fit. Also fitted my Rare JDM engine cover too before Japfest... although - is it supposed to have an extra piece which covers the front of the engine slightly? Quote
Stutopia Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Looks sweet, can't wait to get mine. Colour is awesome. Quote
marzman Posted May 19, 2013 Author Posted May 19, 2013 No extra piece for the harness cover Cheers Ian. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Looks good, Polished Takeda intake, polished plenum and blue hoses next ? Quote
ironhide Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Looking great Chris, nice one and that colour match is pretty good if I don't say so myself I too questioned the harness cover and it does appear that the original doesn't have any extra bits, however the version i'm looking fabricate will have a bit more metal Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Looks good, Chris, Darren will be pleased to see that you're looking after your Zed... Quote
bronzee Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I like that. Bloody good match on the colour. Was going to say that too. Looks good. Quote
Payco Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Hi The rare jdm cover doesnt come with anything extra to cover the front of the engine. You have everything in place. ARC did a timing cover but they are rare as rocking horse p*o to find. Attached is a photo of mine to reasure you that you have fitted it correctly and all is there. Payco Quote
Ian Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 ARC did a timing cover but they are rare as rocking horse p*o to find. No they didn't. Some people used S14 cooling panels as a cover for it Quote
Payco Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 If you google arc timing cover for 350z you will see they do exist, not in production anymore. Last person i know who came very close to finding one but missed out was Wasso. Payco Quote
Ian Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Its not made for the 350Z, it never was made for the 350Z. Its a cooling panel from a silvia http://my350z.com/forum/engine/556506-rare-arc-timing-chain-cover-s13-cover.html - Like that S13 COVER Quote
Payco Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 oh, stand corrected, I was mis informed. Thanks for putting me straight Payco Quote
Pnthrblkzs Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Thought I'd add to this thread, my gunmetal panel arrived today. So on it went.... Very nice bit of kit, just need to clean and add a few more bits to my engine bay now. Oh and replace the clips I broke when fitting the panel, oops. Thanks Chris!

Stutopia Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Finally got her in, needs a little bonnet catch tweak this weekend I reckon, but looks great. IMHO! Now I've got somewhere for my panini collection. Thanks for sorting this Iron Quote
