We created some new pods for the factory Q mounts. I am now looking at creating some new mounts to work with the factory crossmember locations.

As far as the way it is currently with the mounting pods you can see those somewhat in the cross-member pictures I posted here: http://forums.nicoclub.com/zer...age=6.I haven't started on the new mounts yet as my wife decided she wanted to remodel the house which I've been swamped with for the past 3 weeks or so, along with 4 different contractors that are involved in this, and haven't had a chance to spend 2 minutes on my car. Everything is scheduled to be completed with the house before the new year so I hope to jump on it again soooon. Thanks,
Nick.

I am so glad I found your thread. I've wanted to do the same swap for years now and I finally have the car and engine. I have the same overall goal you do. Building a VH powered Z that is well balanced for street use or any kind of racing. I to have a two stage build process. The only difference is I want to mount the turbos in the engine bay. I know it limits the size of turbos I can use and piping will be hard but I think in the end it will be worth it. Thanks for such a detailed project thread. I've already read through it once and will most likely be visiting quite often.  Keep an eye out for my project thread, ill post it as soon as i have all the parts and start on the fab work.

I talk to Nick on a pretty regular basis. He's still going at it, just gets side tracked a lot with work and his family.

I have eagerly read this thread, thoroughly devouring every response and update. This is truly a fantastic endeavor and I hope sometime soon NPEZ can provide an update to his progress. I actually created an account simply to comment this. Cheers to you Nick, and all of you who have made this thread an informative and in-depth read.

Keith,Sorry for the long delay in responding - and sorry to hear about your job situation; I hope things improve on that front. I'm happy to hear about your new arrival! Congratulations! I know it seems hectic, but enjoy her as much as you can because they grow so fast. My oldest daughter will be 6 next week and my other 3 next month - time flies. As Stephen mentioned, I've been completely underwater with work and family obligations. Things are finally starting to slow down so I hope to get back on the project on a regular basis in a week or so. Stephen modded up another crossmember for me which came out fabulous (I can now mount the factory engine mount insulators using both studs on the bottom) - I'll post some pics this evening of the work as it is trully awesome (thx again Stephen). I also bought an extra set of exhaust manifolds (thx x 2 to Stephen) so I can get the car started normally aspirated and validate everything works while I mod my other set for the twin-turbo setup. My immediate next step is to get the crossmember powdercoated (I'll probably drop off tomorrow) and then will be ready to get back to assembly. I promise to post some pictures very soon as I will start regularly working on the car again over the summer. Thanks,
Nick.
