Finish on the throttle bodies let's it down a lot too, they could of covered it surely?

Nowhere near a straight fit... But it's very strong, 6 speed (shorter ratios with the S14 diff, and still a nice cruising speed on the motorway) and a lot fresher than my box.

A bit more progress, but I've hit a wall again for the time being. That wall is I need my front pads, and front and rear discs to arrive (only ordered them on Monday.) I also need some brake pipe union spanners, as the unions are very rusty, so once one started to round off I gave up and decided...

Doesn't save the underside of the car though. Flexi factory bumpers rock on low cars, I use my splitter as a height gauge.

It is true, they can over and undertake legally AFAIK.

Yeah the quick release bumper lets it down, my eyes are drawn straight to the clips.

Bloody rapid, but a complete bellend behind the wheel.

I estimate it around 230bhp ATM, stock turbo for now. Rotas are a banned word in this thread, sorry ;)

Very low mileage that!

Perfection.

Got a bit done today, calipers are rebuilt. Thanks to my slack friend's masking, I spent a few hours cleaning powdercoat and sand out of the calipers :rolleyes: A front caliper built up. A rear caliper built up. Nipped over to Garforth last night too to pick this baby up, the 350Z gearbox...

I'm not some overweight "rapper" who should of died a long time ago. Nor am I rich.

Now to find £10K.

Oh sheeeeeiiiit, I want it. Now how much does a V160 box sell for?

It is a shed, and unfortunately that's what they sell for.

Right.

All I need is an angle grinder, zipties and some spit to hold it together.

Some say it is, some say it isn't. There's a fair few 9 second 1/4 Zs on that standard box in the US, so it's strong enough to take what an SR can throw at it. I've gone this way as it's newer, 6 speed, and more of a challenge with it being less documented/common.

Spacer plate and custom shorter prop (350z has a different yoke to the S14, so a crossbreed of those 2 is needed) as per Malice's post, but it's a Z33 not Z32 box. Also, crossmember needs altering, shifter needs shortening to fit the trans tunnel hole, longer clutch line (it's on the opposite...

Love the new looks, and those sweet ass V6 trumpets ;)

It has some funny ideas at times doesn't it.

Polished Regas look s**t.

Minimal progress. R33 GTS-T Calipers powdercoated orange, metallic black paint over that, rubbed off to expose the orange, then 2 pack lacquered as we thought powder lacquer might not sink into the writing between the gaps. Just waiting on rear seal kits and discs/pads to arrive now. I've...

Going to buy a car to go with them then? ;)

Probably one of the few on here who could afford one!

There's plenty of JDM tyteness I don't particularly like TBF, there's lots of wheels everybody wanks over that fall into that category. Just I've yet to read Ali say a good word about pretty much any Japanese car, bar in this thread!

Ali in JDM hatred shocker ;)

Awesome, looks a very tidy example. What is the plan for it then?

Bloody hell! What's it running, 1.8T?

Running much pretension? If you know what brand they are, see if you can get new collars? If you can for a decent price, carefully cut/chisel the collars off, providing the spring isn't tensioned up!
