Engine bay pix !

[Wyn]

Standard arches all the way around.

I have a 275/40/17 tire on the 9" rim.

..............Vinny

275x40x17 lol
You jest!! Get them pix sorted asap m8y

Need to see this

I'll trade clean, uncracked front amber US blinker lenses or complete housings straight across for the clear variety of the same. Maybe you’re of the same mindset?

Deffo so, but over here in UK boring land I only have the orange sticky upy/hangy down type

Not nice

Sure ,no worries. In fact, although not on MY car, I'll post an image of a stateside friends Z with the same diminsions on his Z at an autocross/race event.His sidewalls fit abit tighter than mine do. Mine are more rounded...his squared.

Deffo clear, then send me the others

To late, the damage is done

Get some pics up of those hubs, be interested to see how you've done that

Do the frt Z31 frt hubs bolt straight on?

Here's a shot of the rear stub axle mods.

Might be hard to see, but just understand that the Z31 axle is fatter near the flange and skinnier outboard.Hence the turning down where too fat and the need for a bushing upsize where skinny.A pressfit sleeve/bushing goes on and then both stock 240 bearings are maintained to fit into the unmodified bearing housing ! Sweet !

I figured all this out whilst staring endlessly at the parts......some alchohol was usefull.lol.
Now this mod DOES force you to also do the upgrade of the half-shafts to CV's as well due to the fact that the inboard threads/stub are bigger and won't fit the older stock shaft flange.I was planning on upgrading the Diff to a Z32 na anyway.....so it was fine for my needs.The green Z will hopefully see around 315-424 HP so the upgrades were smart for me to do.

Ok here's my work in progress to add to the pot

2002 LS1 kept relatively stock for the time being (320-350 bhp).

Cheers for the details on the tyre fitment, I was wondering what the largest tyre fitted under standard arches could be

 

[Russ]

The S30 engine bay is hoooge, so long, even dwarfs a v8 I think a V12 would suit in, length of the straight six and all

Looking good Steve

 

[grolls]

Hey Russ, wheres your engine bay pic?

 

[DJZ 60]

[grolls]

engine not in yet so you'll have to imagine again....

 

[SKiddell]

Bl**dy heck Grolls that looks fantastic

The question is though is it all "show" or all "go"?

 

[Mr.G]

Grolls, that made me wake up!

Looks amazing!

 

[grolls]

The question is though is it all "show" or all "go"?

lets hope a bit of both....... ps. sorry about the ht leads, i'm just measuring them for the correct lenth

 

[Russ]

I must agree, looks stunning, I envy your engine, but not the cleaning regime to keep it that way

You dont honestly think i'm going to start vthe engine do you?



you too can get yours plated, it wasn't that expensive either. The guy says he can plate anything. I may give him a rear light unit to try.

 

[Russ]

Ahh yes was thinking about the plating, I will talk to you sometime about the cost involved and whats feasible. I'd like to tidy it up where possible but again don't want to throw money away

 

[DJZ 60]

Forget the plating Russ, Get it going & roadworthy first! Bloody ell! he wants everything
on plate! Groll's... Very nice......Don't be tight on the pic's wanna see more! More!
Nicely Done,attention to detail etc.....Even your dust look's clean,& the whole place
look's Lovely........ DJZ 60.

 

[grolls]

IT was "Able Metal Finishing" they are in Hounslow 0208 570 5701. they do postage etc. price ....mmmm not sure as i had loads done, chrome,colour and clear so far (colour is gold finish, clear id silver finish) door/hatch catches, bumpers etc all being done now. I think all the engine stuff come to about £90 ish so it not silly money, but remember that if a bolt(example) is pitted it will come back pitted after plating,ie, no cure for rust. They chromed an apple for a tv ad a little while ago, dont ask me how, he just had a big grin!

The boss is John Joiner, a scooby owner ( shame)

 

[Russ]

Forget the plating Russ, Get it going & roadworthy first!

Well it's pretty much in pieces so may as well do it now Plus if I get it done too fast I'll be infront of my 2.5 year deadline.

Grolls, looks quality and I'd give £90 for half that shine, I'll start making a mental note on what I can send, love the apple story
