So here is another pic of the end plates I design.. Mocked up the wheels to see how it would look also

Also please note that those are not the arms I am running.. Going to be running the Solid/Manly ones

Now just have to make the other side and send off to get made in CF.. Can't wait for this

This is far and above the longest build thread I've ever been privy to...EVER. But it's also one of my favorites. You must hold on to this car for AT LEAST double the amount of time it took you to build it. lol. Looking good. Can't wait till I she sees pavement.

Shit maybe if I give you my car, you will finish her in a better time frame then I will.. LOL

Royal_T · 03-11-2015, 12:51 PM

Need a alignment so bad.. In this pic I am trying to dial in the ride height. What you guys think low enough..

scottie · 03-11-2015, 01:16 PM

I am digging it! Who cares about the "low/slammed/tight jeans" look. You have spent too much time and money to make this thing non-functional. I say set the suspension to where you still have decent suspension travel, proper roll center adjustment, majority of tire tread, corner balance it and shred.

future · 03-11-2015, 02:08 PM

Yeah really. Raise it up and get use of everything you have done

I agree with both. Going to raise the front up a tad but I think the height is almost right.. dying to take it to a alignment shop cause I know my specs are all over the place..

I have to be excited to drive my car not look at it and hate the over all look..

i just went through that. got mine aligned and i'm finally able to drive it after three years of being a project. feels awesome.

Royal_T · 04-15-2015, 08:33 AM

So no real updates from me really, car is just awaiting some parts to arrive so I can wrap up my brake lines.. At the moment all the front stuff is complete need to run the rear stuff now. After that is complete I can finally take it to the alignment.

For now tho here are some pics:

future · 04-15-2015, 09:16 AM

Took off the wing?

Makstraw · 04-15-2015, 09:54 AM

Don't know if you have any side diffusers yet. Ive been making them in my off time for 350's and 370's for a long time now. If you want a pair text me, Ill send you pics. They would finish off the rest of the diffusers really nice. Mark-831-818-7477.

Dope, yeah been wanting a set of side diffusers.. I'll send you text..

Royal_T · 05-22-2015, 03:59 PM

Okay guys finally some update. I finally was able to finish my brake lines, with family life, work it was hard to get to the car. I just ordered parts every week until I had everything to smash it out in pretty much one day.

Before we get started I decided to showcase this Cognac instead of beer. (since I have not had a decent beer in month). Anyways, my mother In-law picked up this Hennessy Pure-White when she went on a cruise. They don't sale these state side so it was a treat. This is probably the smoothest Hennessy I have ever tried..

Okay, so I got a little OCD with the brake lines. I made bulk head fittings for the firewall and the rear wheel wells. This way if I need to do anything it well be quick and easy and over all its just a cleaner look.

Going to be running -3an lines and fittings..

Okay lets getting started, have to have my guilty pleasure

Started my installing the new -3an fittings on the BMC

added a little 90 degree bend right here so it would not hit my filter on my heads.

Added to bulkhead fittings here. One goes to the rear and the other goes to the passenger side.

This is the view behind the firewall to run to the passenger side.

And out the other side, did not want a lot of clutter in the bay..

Ran two Banjo fittings for the fronts..

Fronts are done..

To do the rears I had to make a tube straighter for the hard lines that go to the rear. Did not want to buy a $200 tool so made my own.. Came out good..

Started from the firewall and heading to the rear.

And yep found me some black hardline.. Just had to do it..

Coming up on the tee.. yeah I need to clean the car.. once everything is done interior will be cleaned

Here you will see both the tees for my MBC and my Hydro E-Brake

Had both sides running the the bulkheads in the wheel well..

Close up

And the other side of the wheel well

And rears done..

Now just have to bleed them and get ready to head to a alignment shop.. But before I go I will swap out my Clutch Master Cylinder for the Wilwood 7/8" master cylinder that Sikky sales. Reason for this is the OEM Cylinder can't handle the T56 clutch..

Tell next time guys..

scottie · 05-22-2015, 06:07 PM

YES!!! I have been waiting patiently for an update lol.

drewr4411 · 07-23-2015, 07:22 AM

Just read through this entire build thread. Very detailed oriented very cool build! looking forward to the next update.

future · 07-23-2015, 07:57 AM

Your forum is all off, straighten your back =p

anyways this build is sick. But for the money you went al out on you with KSport. Where are the KWs?

TheRealSy90 · 07-23-2015, 08:17 AM

I generally hate KSports when riding in 240's with them, but for some reason their 350z stuff rides 10x better.
