Final things to buy before engine goes in? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Allright. I'm putting my engine together relatively soon (1.5 weeks), and am now just trying to make sure that I have everything I should have and need.
So far:
I've replaced all the timing components of my engine, as well as a total rebuild.
Here's whats on my list:
Akimoto vaccuum lines (3/16" walls so they won't collapse).
Plugs (Denso Iridium 2 stages colder, gapped at .028")
Clutch (SPEC stage 3)
Piping for Intercooler (Anyone have suggestions for what I'd need for my KA-T... or a guesstimate? I just don't wanna have 50 extra feet of piping laying around)
Slim battery (Hawker?)
New water pump and radiator hoses.

I know that I'm missing a lot of stuff. So, if people know what I'd need, or have some suggestions for what else I should get, just let me know!
Thanks!

While the engine is out, you might want to think about new/ better motor mounts. I'm tempted to go for Nismo ones.

Also, how well is the bay prepped for heat?? It'll be a good time to start sheilding everything with heat blankets and stuff.

Wire looms(maybe made from some heat shielding stuff)?

Definately do some heat shielding on the MC, brake booster, and all lines and anything else in that area. Maybe flush your radiator if you haven't already. If you want, oil cooler...I'll try to think of some more stuff.

Oh and make sure to get the little clips that hold the vacuum lines where they're supposed to be.....
