I'll keep looking around local shops!

what grit sand paper did you use on the lettering. im gonna powdercoat mine and id like to avoid the drive to riverside to the machine shop/

I couldn't find any rough sandpaper so I used the blunt tip of the retractable knife to scrape some of the paint off.

That kind of knife.

Then I used some 600 grit sandpaper wrapped around a small wooden block to clean it up.

ahhh. i think ill just machine it off. easier and it will be even across all the letters

It isn't all that hard really.

If you can get it machined for cheap, that's a good option.

Win!

Seems like you also touched up the paint on the hot side fmic piping?

Touched up both sides haha.

I also need to find new clips that hold the spark plug wires, I broke them during my manifold install. :P

at pick a part/ecology sometimes ill spot one or two still attatched to the motors. i never even thought to grab em. LOL and every time i come across an in-tact MAF plug i take them. i swear ive got like 10 KADE maf plugs with 6'' or more of wiring. i clipped enough and extended mine and tucked it out of sight.

Hahaha, yeah I've started taking random things like hard to find fuses and stuff at the junkyards.

Thanks Amays!

Setup a radiator spray yesterday!




Home Depot mister nozzles + OEM windshield washer pump + OEM hatckback washer switch.
I got this idea after I saw that S13 hatchbacks had a rear windshield washer, and they have two pumps at the washer reservoir, like this:

The coupe has the spot for the second pump, but isn't drilled for one.

They also have a button for the rear wiper and washer under the right aircon vent:


So I took an extra pump + harness out from the junkyard, my dad drilled the tank for the extra pump and setup the nozzles.
I found a rear washer switch and wired it all up, and it all works!
I'll see tomorrow how well it cools, it's supposed to be 94 degrees tomorrow.
Also, you could easily set this up to spray your intercooler too!

Also, my dad also cut up a new rear deck out of wood, since my old one disintegrates every time you look at it.

The rear vent things, which I don't know the purpose of, and the rear speaker covers, both crumbled as I tried to remove them.
We decided not to put in vents, and I'll look for some OEM looking speaker covers at my local audio store.

I covered it in suede, but those pictures will come later.

The spray nozzle is super cool dude. I should try setting one up too.

You think 94 is bad.....it was 117 yesterday! Anything over 110 and my car doesn't get too happy. Especially with the A/C on, I can only take 20-25 minute drives.

Shizam!


I tested out the spray today.
I turned on the A/C and let the temps get up to 180 and sprayed water for about 20 seconds, and the temps dropped to about 165.
I'm pretty pleased with the setup!
I might add another nozzle or two, so it sprays out more water.

That's really cool, i can honestly say ive never heard of doing spraying water on the radiator before, but ive never really dealt much with the cooling aspect. Definitely cant wait to see more.

Clean coupe man. Are those 350z seats?

I know that some STis came with squirters for their intercoolers to prevent heatsoak, and I think Dai Yoshihara in Formula D has some for his radiator too.

Yes, they are 350z seats.

Nice. How bad were they to install? My leather LE seats are starting to crack on me.

It was a pain to drill the brackets off the seats, but once we got them off, all we had to do was measure and weld.

Sweet well keep up the good work man. Good stuff

Thank you!

That is a sweet idea man! I might have to try that radiator spray Idea out

It works pretty well!
I'm going to change my nozzles though, I'm currently using some plastic irrigation nozzles from Home Depot, I'm going to try to find some Patio mister nozzles.
A mist should cool better than a cone of drizzling water.

Took you forever and a day to get this idea into motion. GJ

dude how the hell did you get the 350z driver side seat to fit in with the exhaust well there?
