Been slammed with work lately, but I’ve managed to knock out a few things — with some much appreciated help from friends.
Keeping this post simple:
-- The cold side is now fully welded.
-- Fenders, bumper, and headlights are fitted.
-- The boost tubes fit perfectly with the turbo placement.
-- Rear Z1 bash bar w/ jack point swapped out OE crash bar.
The passenger-side turbo is clocked a little differently than the driver’s side. I’m not thrilled about it… but I’m also not about to re-fab the up-pipe just to chase perfect symmetry. A cookie will be awarded to anyone bold enough to scoff at the imbalance.
The car is now rocking a fresh NISMO plate and is fully insured. Power steering lines have been crimped, but I’m still waiting on one suction line from the remote reservoir to wrap that up.
The to-do list is getting short. I’ll keep buttoning up what I can over the next couple weeks. Next major move: getting the car to Auto Dynamix. I'd like to have it out and about by June… but at this point, I’m not holding my breath.
EDIT - Had to order new OEM calipers because the old OEMs were seeping a little. I want a bit more confidence scrubbing speeds doing 165mph in the 1/4mi.
