But I haven't got the money for it and won't for another 2 yrs, I'm afraid. Edited March 5, 2018 by V1H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow85 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hey V1H, did H-DEV relocate the intakes to the front of the car? I can't seem to tell from the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we left it like this for the time being to get the install finished at long last. I can see how the intake pipes extend to either side down into the spaces in front of the wheel well. On the driver side, the washer reservoir would need relocating, though. Edited March 5, 2018 by V1H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the pics below, they were sent to me by another AAM TT customer who relocated the intakes to that area in the front bumper. But what I don't get, is how they managed to put the intake through the plastic radiator shroud next to that reservoir. My workshop looked at that part and said if they cut a hole in that plastic radiator support shroud then the radiator will be held on very loosly. May have to ask that member again, how they managed it. Edited March 5, 2018 by shadow85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a feeling it may be more difficult for us RHD drive owner's to do. Well atleast on my Z, there is a big plastic radiator shroud that would have to be cut or moving/relocating the large reservoir tank and putting the intake there. Here is a pic of my Z with that area blocked. For some reason, the guy from America did not have this issue, he told me there was no plastic shroud in the way. I don't know why, maybe different year model Z or it is different on LHD Zs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was just having a chat to AAM Comp. and they told me that the stock intake filter location is completly fine, and that they have built 800whp+ Zs like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow85 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Ahh damm, got quoted an extra $1800-2000 in labour +$300 for materials just to do the relocation of the intakes Gona have to pass ;( Edited March 9, 2018 by shadow85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to be cut and re-welded to slightly correct their angle, not ideal being ceramic coated but the only way. AAM used a test rig to align exhaust parts, which may have introduced some variability. The fuel line routed past the turbo housing within a few cm, which H-Dev fortunately identified as a disaster waiting to happen, and thus, added a thermal barrier blanket, bolted to the chassis side wall. Hey bro, we also have this problem, downpipe touching the underfloor. They had to remove it for re-angle to clear the floor. Same situation for me, not ideal because of ceramic coating, but has to be done amd then re-coated. Such a PITA lol : And, also unfortunately my Fast Intentions 3" TT exhaust system did not bolt up to the down pipes. We have to modify the down pipes aswell to extend onto the exhaust system, I guess Fast Intentions and AAM do not like each other lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V1H Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Unfortunately an oil line for the external front-mounted oil cooler burst a large leak, 2 days ago. I rolled the car back into the garage to jack it up and remove the bumper/undertray to locate the fault. The car will be immobile for the time being It's a mysterious thing that such steel-braided line with extra protective sleeving would fail some 15cm away from the connector, at a seeminlgy random spot... Because it is way too expensive to haul the car to H-Dev (£300-400) I will have to try repair the leak myself; it's a crazy tight maze of hoses and pipes under there. Most difficult part will be sourcing a replacement pipe. Bought it in 2014 from Z1 Motorsports, USA. I've had troubling experiences with them in the past...

Dude you can get those hoses made up lots of places my pal makes all his own Panic not Looks like it's up against the roll bar to me is say the bar flexing has knackered the crimp on the fitting My want to look at taking it around another route Edited March 23, 2018 by nissanman312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clearance of the oil line is plenty all around. There is not the slightest sign of it ever being touched by anything. The leak is about 15cm further up the hose. Anyways, I have the hose halfway uninstalled. Gonna ship it to H-Dev for them to make me a copy and send it back to me. The installation is simple enough. It's just my notorious lack of time for anything but work and Neo Well, I'll fix it before the Japfest meet in May Edited March 24, 2018 by V1H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
