Kind of one phase is done. I will move the car for exhaust on Saturday and from there to paint shop. They will start the car today before taking it for exhaust.

Engine, gearbox with new clutch, differential, rear axle, radiator, fans all installed.

I opened up all the locks and fittings, even window channels

Managed to get an old 280ZX hood scoop, was thinking of doing something custom but then as it used to come on a Turbo Z so might look better, atleast will throw direct air on the turbo

This is where it will be cut

I have bought the new brakes or the car as well

Brake booster I have changed locally taking it from a 280Z will work better with all the stuff I got rest are all new items.

The stock rear brakes are not disk and I am converting to 4 pot front and 1 pot at the back all disc, so for that booster and mainly master cylinder needs to be changed. Got 1' or 15/16 master cylinder (heard its made by Wilwood). It will give less play when brakes are changed and will carry 14% more brake oil.

For brakes I went with stage 4 Front Big brake kit from silver mine motors
http://silverminemotors.com/images/1...657455162.jpeg

for the Rear got a custom Stage 2 kit from datsun parts, the kit includes:
Rebuilt Maxima Calipers, new brake rotors same as for front along with
brake pads and mounting brackets and
E-Brake brackets and SS lines.

In addition I bought a wilwood proportion valve as well as it was needed
