Cheers mate. Was working on it every day from about mid October to Xmas but the motors has been a long process maybe 2 years we used lots of non off the shelf bits which took awhile to complete and I wasn't in a hurry because the car wasn't done anyway. Hopefully around 2months fingers crossed ready for tuning.

I am newish to all of this and think you blokes have great patients, I am struggling to handle 4 months of being treated like a mushroom ,lol

Guess when you are hands on it is more personal and interesting and time just gets eaten up.

I get impatient waiting for other blokes builds to be finished :)

What you need to do then is buy yourself a second one incase of this type of situation haha :cheers:

Cheers. It's actually a Mazda 6 colour. When in the sun it's quite a bit lighter in person.

Had 2 300ZXs, one was red the other more maroon and that was a better colour for that car..

I think it is David that has a red R and looks amazing a well :)

Said I would never have a black car, but have one, looks great just cleaned, but give it 10 minutes :( ,LOL

Ran the fuel line through the rail to keep clear of the exhaust, driveshaft and to keep the line straight as possible to hit the mechanical pump at the right height.

Converting to manually operated windows. Mixture of Daihatsu applause and gtr mechs did the job.

Great build mate,,,loving it actually.

I have a question for you,,,can you shed some light on how you did the window winder conversation?. I also need to do this and any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
