Hi all just to let you know -
Engine is coming along nicely
Slight delay while we wait for some race shims from the USA but no drama as the bodywork is ongoing
Nice new ARP studs
Cylinder heads together
compression ratio testing
11.5 : 1
So 2x genuine Nissan head gaskets to get it back to a more sensible 10.6 : 1 fingers crossed that can be mapped but I may have to get a different pulley to reduce boost - only the Dyno will tell.
meanwhile I'm back on the boot (again)
All good fun though (must keep telling myself that!)
That's all folks ...............................
: Sorry mate
I could have bought a GTR for what I've spent on mine - and it's not on the road yet but I'm not as rich as Ian so I would not be able to afford to run it!!
Bob - Not much but he is great company
The answer is in the name "fender brace" - they brace fenders
Sorry
The stiffen the front wings - stiffer the car better it corners - heard good reports on these, I will let you know when I get an engine
O what fun we had today
Lots of bad language several wasted hours retrieving nuts from inside chassis rails. Krypton factor style puzzles on how you reassemble door locks all in all a fun days modding
GT Spec "Fender Braces" OMG not to be undertaken by the faint hearted.
Points to note the kit comes with 4 bolts 2 nuts with a special locator and 2 ordinary nuts. Mine had no instructions but info available on the web and vids on Youtube.
The first problem is that the kit does not come with bolts to replace the ones that hold the doors on and 6 of the 8 OEM ones are not long enough.
The next problem is that you have to hold 4 nuts inside the chassis but only 2 have the locator
SO after you have offered them up marked and drilled the holes for the new bolts you need to make a 2 locators -
apply weld
bend to shape
this allows you to achieve -
The white tag is the supplied nut and locator
all fitted
and the others side
Also be aware if you have standard wings they will not fit back on
you would need to remove this panel (modelled by Bob )
I have aftermarket wings which I did not mount the panel on so they fit
this does mean you can see inside the wing as the door opens so we painted it before fitting
Yes Bob did knock a nut I had balanced into the box section and we spent some time fishing it out!!!!
(Bob did this from the other side of the garage without touching it - but it's ALWAYS HIS FAULT!)
We also got the doors on and the door handles re-fitted.
That's all folks .........................
To be fair I did leave a few sets of wipers some non 350 parts and some wheel nuts - Buster grabbed some bits as well mind you, Chilly had a meet at the end of the week we went up - the rest was expected to go then.
Your just jealous because they said PM me first and you don't stock the NISOMO 60WHP induction system.
I don't want any excuses about it not being real and me making it up to sell an old piece of flexi tubing!!!
to the OP maybe
sorry about Dblock
I was thinking - when did I do that????
Then I thought you mean the one off my other 350?

Still open to offers on that one.
Other than that you want the the 06 airbox with velocity stack for power or any of the others for noise
