These are some pics of some of the latest parts I got for my baby. The pics are a little old and I will get some up with some of the parts installed soon.





Oh and here is the engine bay after a little cleaning up I did a while back if no one has seen it.

wow your engine sits so low! I'd bet you could have fit that strut tower bar wihtout the new manifold. Also, seeing as how I see a koyo back there.. I guess you answered my question in the last post I made :)

Which Koyo did you get? As in.. for which engine? I was thinking getting the KA would probably work. But the SR radiator can actually be found for LESS than the KA version... I wonder how the hoses would line up with the SR version.

I tried to run for a time but had some issues. (no tuning with my setup) I am still using the stock turbo on stock boost. I will be trying a new turbo soon(I cant say much about it yet) and installing all my parts at that time also. Then I will be hitting the track after tunning. I am not a big dragger but I do it for testing results and to beat up on some of the so called rice cars I mean race cars. So I will post the times after I go.

Yes the strut bar still fits with the stock manifold. It is Mckinneys mount kit. I believe The Koyo I have is for the SR but it was no differant than the KA radiator I have. I was using the larger copper KA radiator already. The hoses will need to be trimmed a little but they fit. The nubers on the box are R020172 and below that is KL060172. Oh and the same radiator fit just as well on my friends CA.

I may have posted some wronge info ont which radiator I have after reading some of the other threads. I will find out for sure on Monday. But the #'s I posted are right off the Koyo box if that helps at all. Oh and the inlets are both on the Passenge side. I will find out for sure then post before I go and open my mouth next time.

thanks a lot Hashi. I hope the new "top secret" turbo works out well for you :) Maybe by the time u and McKinney got that going they will be selling it and I can pick it up. I'll see what those nbumbers turn up as far as the Koyo goes... I really hope you DO have the SR one because its 3 MM larger.. and 40 bucks less. What more can you ask for!

Thanks I like the bloe for that reason also.

Now for the KOYO radiator. I have the KA. It has the inlet/outlet on the top and bottom left side standing in front of the car. The Sr has them on the top and bottom opposite corners. If the KA one is used you can use the KA hoses with some trimming to work. If you use the SR radiator you may be able to just use the SR hose setup. Not sure Like I said I am using the KA stuff. So that is what I am using and would explain why the KOYO fit like my larger KA radiator.

Also for the RB25 not sure on the 20 the 90-93 turbo 300Z thermostat is the same. I matched them up. So if you want the cooler thermostat buy on for the 90-93 Turbo z.

I thikn the 300z one Hashi listed IS colder.. or if you search for some aftermarket colder one for the Z you could probably use it

The one I am going to install is a 170 Deg F and I believe that is the same as 76 or 79 deg C which is used stock. I have found a 60 deg C nismo thermostat on one of the sites I have for the Z but have not ordered it yet. I dont know the conversion for tempeture but 60C is about the coldest I have seen used in Japan.

Does the RB25DET stock radiator fit into the 240 with the rest of the swap?

And since I own a 90 240, can I just use the power steering lines from a RB25DET? Sorry for the off-tangent questions. and thanks in advance!

I think the RB radiator will take some modding to get in not sure I use the KA radiator. As for the lines I dont know about the RB but mine are from the newer KA setup with the resivior on the driver side.
