Plumbing Nightmare!

[John Dixon]

Finally got sometime to fit the new tanks and hopefully cure my scavenge return issue once and for all. If I never have to make up another AN fitting it will be too soon!
Just the top coolant hose to do then figure out how to get some air filters in there!
There's just so little room that every time I move something it affects something else.

Good work John.

Air-filters - how about a bonnet 'Corvette Sting-Ray style'? Big bulge to cover the filter and rear air intake.

Funnily enough that's the sort of thing I'm thinking about. I've got an airbox with trumpets and originally ran 2 x 2.5" ducts to the front bumper. That was too restrictive so put 2 x 350z filters on the top of the box but currently its just sucking the warm air off the rad. A good scoop of some sort would fix it.

Maybe something like the 'shaker scoops' some of the old muscle cars run. Engine is solid mounted so it won't shake much anyway. Did look around scrapyards but most bonnet intakes are for intercooler and worried they might take in too much water as they are flush with the bonnet normally.
