sexy manifold

[Shocker]

thats a nice pig! what camera are you using?

[l0nestar]

Shocker,Most likely just a fish-eye or wide-angle adapter. (~$50)Unlikely a full lens. (~$600)

At least it is that way for Pentax..

Gomer,Nice piggy! Z33 Daytona Blue?You polished the PS reservoir - Interesting. No air filter? What mount kit did you use? Which radiator / how much room for fans?

Is your hood CF or sprayed gloss black?

As far as the camera goes a friend of mine took the pictures for me so I can't take credit on that one haha. I am not sure what kinda of camera it is but I can find out, all i know is it was expensive.

Yes it is a replica 350z Daytona Blue (not the actual paint from Nissan)

Haha yea I did kinda sorta polish it up, just sanded it down to 400grit ha.

I used the R33 crossmember and mounts.

The radiator is the Mishimoto radiator and so far seems to be working great.

And the hood is sprayed black. The car I was using for reference looked like a black hood so I went with that and I like how it turned out.

As far as the filter goes I am getting one today I hope haha. I havent driven the car much since I got it running 2 weeks ago so I haven't been super concerned. I am more worried about the leaking oil from the rear main seal area

[Neejay]

Wow, so you're only using R33 crossmember + r33 mounts (motor and transmission)?

Do you think theres enough clearance for the stock intake manifold with that setup?

Interesting. I'm using the R33 cross-member (and trans) and Nismo R33 mounts, but with a stock S14 radiator.

How much room is there between your Mishimoto radiator and the power-steering crank / harmonic balancer? Also, are you using the Mishimoto radiator with the dual fans + shroud? or just the fans attached to the radiator?

Also, is the tank completely tig-welded, or are the tanks epoxied to the core?

What (if any) ducting do you have? What have your temps been (normal driving - provided you have an aftermarket gage )?

Sorry man, not trying to thread jack!

I did run the car with the stock manifold and all I had to do was cut some of the hood skeleton out. Other than that it fit fine.

As far as clearance I havent really looked. Theres not alot of room, I can take a picture and measure this weekend. And I am running 2 10" fans that I got off ebay. Supposedly 1250cfm each and 9-10amps, no idea if thats what they are pushing or not, but they are running in a push configuration. Like I said I haven't driven too much yet but I took it on about a 20-25min drive just cruising at no more than 55mph and some stop and go traffic with an outside temp of 75-80 and the temp held at 175-185 range the whole time.

As far as the radiator goes, I think the whole thing is tig-welded as far I know I will take a better look at it this weekend and confirm that for you.

[bumblebtuna]

nice car man

[Sil240]

You should get a longer Oil feed or have it come from under the turbo.It's resting on the manifold.

Car looks AWESOME!!!Repping for us PIGGY"S

[gomer23]

Yea I know, at some point I will get some 90 degree fitting and make it fit better once I get a couple other issues resolved.

[slowrb20]

lovin the color man. keep us posted

Update? The Mishimoto listings that I see, say the core is 50mm. I am interested in seeing how much clearance you have between your radiator and the harmonic balancer / PS pump drive. Did you use the fans from Mishimoto, or another Ebay seller? Also, do you have any ducting / shrouding done?

Sorry to be a pest, just really interested / not wanting to drop $300 on a rad if I don't need it!

[gomer23]

Wow, sorry totally forgot to check on that for you, been busy going to the College World Series this past week. Anyway if not tonight, tomorrow I will get a picture for you.

And no I have not ducting done right now. The fans I got from another ebay seller and now seem to be doing fine. A couple days ago I let the engine run for about 10-15mins with the cap off to see if there was any air in the system and it seem to get rid of some bubbles and did seem to run a little cooler after that. We haven't had any 90 degree days this past week for me to test it out yet. But I will get back to you on the clearance in the next couple days I promise.
