p.s make sure whoever welds up the plenum uses 4043 tig rods as they have extra silicon content in them especially for welding cast ali, if they dont use them likelihood is that it will crack at some point leaving you at the side of the road.

Hi Ash thanks for the offer of welding i might have to take you up on that if i cant find anyone local. Its a little bit of welding... but i wont be able to get the thing running without it :(

Soo i guess i would need copper marine fuel lines with an ID of 8mm and then -6AN fitting i think...

hey Alex.... nice to see you back with the beast ....its hard to get back into the flow when you have had a substantial break ..keep the piccies coming

Moving the car to a new garage on Sat so will be able to start work again. First job is to remove the engine and gearbox and get all the brake lines and wiring done. After that get the engine/gearbox painted and fit flywheel and clutch. Think i will also get a new exhaust manifold and make things look nice. Kev has inspired me.

If i can find about 1.5k i think i can get the engine running in the next month.

Moving garage tomorrow hope all goes well!

Had to spend 3 hours in the snow today trying to pull a trailer out of the snow only to find that it had a wheel seized. Eventually dragged it onto the road and spent the next hour getting the wheel unstuck. :(

New garage and also inlet plenum mostly welded!

Intake plenum welded and installed and all fits! Cam cover breather pipes relocated to rear. Have a small amount of finishing to do but apart from that its all good!

Wiring harness for 300zx and Stagea RS4 along with ECU for both. Also a R33 GTST starter/alternator loom and various other bits. Ohhhhh its going to be so much fun............

Looks like a reasonably sized and very tidy garage!

TT

Stripped down so i can install all the fuel, clutch and brake lines along with wiring :D

While out will give the engine a nice clean up and try and make it look good as new.

*MISSION - Make engine look as nice as Kev's.......*

*MISSION - ACCEPTED!*

Better contact the CAA for your pilots licence,your gonna need it.

Nice one !;)
