I've been meaning to post some updated pics for some time now and finally took a few today. Car is dirty and still needs some adjustments but loving the look so far. Most of my cosmetic finishing mods won't happen until next year.

 

Been doing some installs over the last week.

koyo hyper v radiator
chase bays full power steering kit with setrab cooler
fluiddamper balancer
All new a/c components
mishimoto race fans---- 1700 cfm each
modified core support giving more air flow to cendensor/rad
moved horns and sensors from center area of core support
titanium pipe from rad to rear coolant pipe
made new pass side ground
modified mishimoto shroud to allow more air flow at speed, also modified using SS m6 rivnuts so fans can be removed without pulling shroud
installed more titanium hardware
Replaced main coolant line clamps with mishimoto constant tension clamps
mishmoto 160 thermostat

 

GTR coils, did they do anything?
I have a feeling those thick fans gonna be in the way of the supercharger.

 

The gtr coils did help with throttle response and a much cleaner idle. The smp coils i had on the car only had maybe 2k miles on them.
The fans should not be in the way of the charger

 

Sup Rusty, glad you're still having fun w it!

Why the super-low thermostat, just to keep things moving?

 

helps with bleeding and yes to keep the coolant moving once the charger goes on. Looks like it should be shipping in less than 2 weeks,

 

Interesting, that kit came out after I bought my Okada coils.

 

No pics today.... sorry Mic

ordered then installed a chase base coolant resevoir 2 days ago
also z1 replacement coolant bleeder.

More to come within the next couple weeks

 

Yesterday i ordered aem boost, uego afr and oil pressure guages. If all goes as planned... will finally be installing my 370z axles and bca bearings along with gkteck spherical bearings in the rear knuckles.

 

Did you get a set of hub spacers for the rear axles? They will have complications without rear hub spacers.

 

You don't have to run the spacers but i did order a set today along with 12 longer axle to diff bolts that i had forgotten i had needed. Won't be doing my axles this week after all but should be able to next week.

 

Something for everyone to keep in mind while upgrading any bolts in their engine bay. Titanium bolts are not good for grounds. I have switch 2 of 3 ground points already and will eventually buy either copper or aluminum bolts to upgrade locations.

 

I wouldnt use aluminum … I bought a variety pack of aluminum bolts and yes, they are feather light but you cannot torque them but 1/3 to 1/2 of what the OEM spec is without shearing the heads off…

I like how you’re thinking though!

Where are you getting titanium bolts? What are you paying for each bolt? Pack of 10? Pack of 100?

 

100? That's a lot of money lol, it would be nice to get them in packs. I bought most of mine from ProBolt, they range from $5-15 a piece, can be lower or higher depending on size.

 

I've been buying them from zspec, have spent alot on them but on avg $3 per bolt. Much have been fender bolt/washer kits which help out with dropping the avg cost.

 

The bolts that i had thought about replacing with aluminum or copper will only be for ground locations if i go that route and don't need much torque.

 

Replaced the last titium bolt with a steel on a ground.
Also did an oil change with motul sport 5w40, nissan over sized filter and greddy drain plug. Also installed a new oil pressure switch again since i must have damaged it while changing the alternator a few months back. It was dripping oil.

 

Awesome build bro.
