here are 2 options......... my drawing skill are rather ordinary but u get the idea, preportions will depend on the reo behind the bar etc

either its a GTR style grill or a Stagea style grill........ for the top section, the lower will be GTR spec and the sides will be RS6 spec

Wagzilla!

Icwatyoudidthere. Drawing skills much better than mine. I think the lower one is better, but I'm far from a style expert! I think it would look less gape-y. Maybe some little vents in the bottom sides to vent things like tranny coolers?

Haha, I think I like the top one.

The angle of those lines in the lower one make me think HSV (VY specifically) plus the gently lines work with the rounded disposition of headlights and might flow a little better with the rest of the car.

Nice drawings though :)

I think the drawing is the least of your worries. Nice job on those btw.

Actually blending it together in the flesh (plastic?) is going to be the real challenge. I'd like to see that! Should be an original though, if it gets done.

yeah the side vents will definately be utilised for coolers,

the finished product will definately look nothing like a HSV!!!

as far as trying to get the plastic to blend in isnt a problem as it will all be fibreglass and just painted black.

but yes i like a good challenge i have big idea's but achieving them is the hard parts LOL, still havent completed my guage cluster HAHA

Looks good but I can't help but think of the mitsubishi 380 when I look at it. Obviously it should look much better actually done

your dreaming Aaron............ how does it :P

i dont know lol even after i compare the two they look nothing alike.. as i said though it would look awesome!

Don't worry about him Theo.

Like we take notice of someone driving a bright orange turd!

seeing as the car's off the road for about 2 weeks i got drunk and this happened........

FYP Mate.

Blue... suppose it matches the calipers now :P

Oh, didn't see that you pulled all the shiny stuff out too. Going to put Leb mesh in?

installed my Mishimoto radiator today and i gotta say for the price $560 delivered i gotta say im not all that happy with it as far as mounting and clearance (the a/c condencer mounts to it also) even though i understand its for a G35 not a M35, also the trans section cannot be used because of the f**ked up size and thread thats on there, so i might have to look at the american market for fittings to suit.

as far as build quality and cooling capacity it is great.

so unfortunately im a bit dissiapointed but it should do a good job, and now i have to custom mount 2x 14" thermo fans to it. (you can keep the stock clutch fan though)

Did you try Pirtek for those barbs I told you about for the trans?

They seem to be working OK on Craigs car. Might be worth a shot- only $6 or something each, before you go to the states.

Na Alex i didnt try Pirtek cos Craig said they were sh*t fittings anyway.

oks cheers Scotty.

was running without the shroud around the clutch fan for a day and now i know that the thermo fan on the front works LOL cos everytime i stopped it would kick in so now i've put the shroud back on and it should run properly again but atleast i know that fan works.......... also thinking of putting a fan on the transcooler just in case, i've got it sitting infront of the passengers side wheel now...... not to sure how good the ventilation off the back of it is.

Yeah, they weren't crash hot, but was the first thing I could put my hand on that would work.

When you find something that works let me know, cause I need some too!

If your worried about the cooler flow, you could always cut a hole in the back of that plastic wheel arch and mesh it. That would flow ok I guess but not pretty. Otherwise maybe move it up above the intercooler where the other guys run it. Do you have something there already?

I'm sort of luck with my poor mans 1/2 size intercooler. There was plenty of space.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
