sick nasty clean build my man. are you in the DFW area would love to see this in person. i was runnin around the same internal mods as you on a built 350 i did, valve train pretty much exactly the same, and with 100 shot was hittin 426rwhp, clean work tho man keep it up!!

F20cS13 · 11-08-2011, 04:19 AM

This is nicely done. Especially that cage and tubing. I just read this whole thing and always appreciate detailed work and doing your own wrenching, I've been doing it for a couple of years now and have learned a tremendous amount. Keep up the quality work!

To answer the radiator question. From the rx7s I've seen and my my builders shop ls3 s14 the "kicked or "Angeles" radiator works by airflow and heat exchange. In best cases a vented hood makes the system work best.

Royal_T · 11-08-2011, 12:22 PM

you guys are so funny.. No refunds for you....lol

But I am going to the shop on Thursday and should have update on Friday for you guys.. Sorry..

Thanks for the kind words... Just wait and see what else I have plan for this baby..

Also I do and will have a vented hood.. but you are right about the Radiator

i are sadzz ;-( thrusday needs to come quick so you can up date and i can drink! lol

NissanJunki · 11-10-2011, 11:05 AM

Im guessing the build is slowly catching up eh? Bummer man

Royal_T · 11-11-2011, 04:41 PM

Okay here I am finally back with some updates.. Like I said before the build has caought up to me so updates will be here and there..

If you like Blond Ales, check out Bomb Shell.. Is one of my fav and damn good..

Okay today we are finishing up a few things here and there. First is my tank for coolant, Just have to add AN fittings and we should be good to go.

This piece is really nicely built by Russell, It is going to go where my battery used to be.

Look at those welds, I just love his Fab work..

Like I said just have to add AN fittings and we are good to go.

Next is my PS cooler, finishing up the brackets for it so we can mount it up. Did not go with a heavy duty PS cooler due to the fact that The KRC PS pump works so well.

Next we have my new seat rails. I had to have some custom made cause the regular Bride brackets where to high causing my helmet to hit my roof.. So we made these as low as possible.

And got these nice little Side seat brackets from my good friend Stew.. Thanks:biggthumpup:

Russell himself mocking up the Bride seat...

Some more front end shots..

I can't get enough of this front end.. I just can't wait until its all painted up.. Might never put a bumper on while drifting....lol

ASD Hydro locked and ready to roll.. Just need to run lines now and it will be ready to go.

Russell welded a nice little base for it, so I can unbolt if I needed to

Started working on my splitter... TX style

Looking legit

I am going to make this black so it will be a nice contrast with the Matt White bumper

Russell just sent me this pic today... Going to look so clean when everything is all painted...

So there you guys have it for this week. My car is hopefully coming home next week or the following week. I will take finish product pics and also give you guys totals of everything.

Thanks

HS13KLS · 11-11-2011, 05:57 PM

This is getting tooooo siiiick!!! Im lovin' the work Edafe!!

thenooblet · 11-11-2011, 06:19 PM

Royal_T · 11-11-2011, 06:24 PM

^^ to be honest with you I love the square bodies better.. If done right would be sick..

tricky_ab · 11-11-2011, 09:14 PM

Thanks bro... And yup I will have a couple when the time comes bro, so trust me a lot of vids will be made..

On a side not guys I might be selling this MS4 cam I have, due to the fact it seems it will be way to aggressive for the track and drifting.. So if anyone is interested let me know.

DanielS14 · 11-12-2011, 11:12 AM

do a mini build on the splitter( how its made, wood type, mounts)
and also if you remember the size tubing for the front end post that too

btw the car is looking awesome

Matthew Murphy · 11-12-2011, 12:42 PM

I will see if Russell can post up how he built the splitter. Or you can hit him up via FaceBook on his company page HERE. He will get the info you need.

Man I really don't want to sell this cam but was told by a really good LS builder that this cam is an engine killer and I most likely will F-Up my motor first event.. So not going to risk it and back it down some...

This would be so ideal and I might actually look into this if I get a 87 Dually.. Have you seen a build thread on something like that?

I really don't know yet.. Going to talk to guys at Texas Speed shop and see what they recommend. Maybe have a custom cam cut for me.. Will let you guys know when I finally make that decision

thenooblet · 11-13-2011, 07:39 PM

i've always had a thing for the TSP 228r

chitownguy · 11-13-2011, 07:52 PM

Can't wait to see this thing finished.

NissanJunki · 11-14-2011, 11:14 AM

That seat is killer!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha and how tall are ya bud? like 6 '4 thats some pretty gnarly fabrication you did to the seating rails.
But once again, love how its coming along, thanks for the update!!

driftsucky · 11-14-2011, 11:39 AM

Wow Edafe. Loving this build. I didn't realize (until like 2/3rds thru) that you were doing a full drift build on your Z and not just an LS swap. This makes this even MORE epic. Can't wait for the end result. Sesaon has stopped up this way. lol

7evil · 11-14-2011, 11:46 AM

Better and better ... congratulations!
