She's running and driving perfectly. Alot of work for me to do cosmetically, but anyway, here's the pictures. Going back to Texas this week, and after that I'll be insanely busy with installing all of the rest of the toys.

Did you relocate the radiator or do Z31's come like that?

The radiator in stock form is a V-mount like this, but in this application the radiator is relocated basically 2" down and forward to accomodate the front of the RB25 and the electric fan.

very nice job. first time I see a rb25det in 300z.How is the performance in the 3z.Do you have any problem using the stock bov and an after market bov together.

when i use the stock bov, looks like I either have a fuel cut or choak on third gear rolling. but no problem from the line. what could cause this.

The performance is simply amazing.

The stock BOV is blocked off using a piece of sheetmetal cut into a gasket shape and mounted between the stock BOV and manifold.

Badass, i work on my friends 300zx VG30ET quite frequently, we know alot about the things.

If you ever want to redo your fmic, a 29x12x3 fits in the stock front bumper. Heres a pic of an FMIC setup i did for a friend with the help of a friend. Heres some pics, so next time you dont have to really cut these things up at all.
