alexdax Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Loving the GTR brakes, much hassle to fit? custom brackets? Yeah I noticed the cosworth head gaskets but there are quite a few nissan oem ones that need replaced when doing a full strip/build, What do you plan on reving to?(what are the BC springs rated for). Didn't know cosworth did 10.3 comp pistons, good choice and as you say the meth should help avoid knock with lower intemp. yes i made some costum brakets this is not the one that i made, i guess i never taken a photo of it, but is just like it except for the machine work and ALOT of time i guess it came ok the gaskets wil be oem Nissam the sprigs are in just for a safe 8k rpm. i guess its ok until 8500 rpm but this is a street car and i will do 8k unly a couple of times... i guess.

Lincolnbaggie Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Only ever seen two 350s over here; one was mine and the other was on UK plates so I'm guessing a tourist. Are there any others around you at all? Quote

alexdax Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 this waiting for the machine shop is killing me. while im waiting i started to paint some parts Man... was all of this inside my engine? I ordered a rebuild of the OEM nissam clutch disk with organic ferodo. some of my friends cars uses this material with the OEM parts. The advantege is that the clucht feels like OEM but it can thake ALOT more Torque Quote
GMballistic Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Great progress Alex ~ scary to watch the engine being torn out from the Zed but all for a good cause. Quote
