[AZSCsideways]

well sorry for the no updates, looks like photobucket isnt giving me back any bandwidth. my reset day was yesterday and when i checked it at 7am i was at 10.1gigs...not sure how that happened in 7hrs but it did. ill make a new photobucket this weekend and post some pics

didn't want you guys thinking nothing is getting done lol

[bc.]

botophucket fails again.

[AZSCsideways]

some small stuff

got board and painted my diff cover


got some nyloc nuts for the mount points


return line




test fit of the rad, ill be taking out the core support and moving it forward...might go v-mount like i want but well see how things go

[AZSCsideways]

pulled the motor back out to fix some small stuff



sealed up my diff and installed it



mocked up the harness how i would like to run it



back in she goes



proefi placement



just a reference pic for where i would like my switch panel



where the harness will most likely go through. might drill a hole right behind the motor but i think it will be a PITA to deal with later, all though it would be nice



harness all to length, i will be changing out all the wiring to the same as what proefi uses. reason being is that the wire on the harness now isn't that great, other people that used it have had problems with the insulation melting and the wires shorting.

small update, for as long as i haven't updated this thread it should be a lot bigger but Ive been busy with the house.

got 25' of .120 wall 2x2 and 1x1 tubing


fuel cell cage








view from the back of the car




been about 2weeks or so now that this E85 has been sitting in the cell, no signs of the bladder degrading so i should be good.

[AZSCsideways]

had me a bit of a busy weekend

finish welding up the trunk


striped off the tail lights and bumper after it was welded


shot it with sandable primer just to keep it rust free


all said and done this is how it looked, will paint it fully when / if i paint the car




after i finished that i felt like i needed to keep going...so i pushed the car back and started on the front


putting on frontend bits


started on my new core support bar, i am wanting to make this removable so motor pulls are easier

LoL I feel ya - Im hoping to fire mine up this week or next

[AZSCsideways]

more frontend work this weekend, hoping to make my bash bar this weekend



put the hood on to see what im going to do about clearancing


the gap


the manifold hits first, then the motor will after that






plans are to run without a hood till i make/get a new intake manifold and a new throttle body, once i do that i will get the hood to fit by allowing the 2j to poke through.

[BiG MiKE86]

Looks like you are having the same issue with your hood not closing like I am

What brackets/mounts are you running again?

[AZSCsideways]

Some bs ebay ones right now but will be switching to getnuts or zerolift after the car is running. I don't know of anyone that has a jz swap that has a hood that fits right. All local guys that have / had jz swaps in 13's run no hoods, I myself would like one so what ever it takes to fit ill do and I like the idea of having the motor poke out a bit.

[AZSCsideways]

I made my mounts btw, they are stock hight

Hey man I have a 1jz coupe here in Mesa az. To make my hood close I had to cut the solid mounts a bit so it'd clear. I had the same clearance issue as you before man

Flicktitty has a hood that fits like Stock (s13 SILVIA) i think he trimmed the underside a bit and he is using tech2 kit.

How much space do you have from the upper oil pan to the front crossmember?

Any chance you remember the height? What brackets are you using?

[AZSCsideways]

I I'll have to check to see what the spacing is between the pan and crossmember. As for the mounts I can't remember the height but I measured a stock one and cut alm bar stock to length

[AZSCsideways]

Ok I have about 1.5" of room that is safe to lower the motor to the crossmember. My mounts are 2.750" tall

2.75 is the same height as my NISMO mounts - and thats a ton of space.

Are you sure you have a full 1.5" before anything hits? Seems like a good bit of space.. Id say chop your mounts to 2.375-2.5" and re-check and keep going from there if you still have space

[AZSCsideways]

still haven't messed with the mounts but 1jzsilcoupe pm'ed me back and said his are 2" tall so im going to make another set at 2" and check them but...

some of the fuel stuff came in thursday / friday

new style fuel line that anfittingsdirect.com is using now up close




so you can see the layers of the line


new VS old styles, on the -10 line you have to strip back the TPU coating or the fitting wont work


return line at firewall


feed line at firewall, this will be Y'ed to duel -8


lines under car






lines coming into the trunk



fuel rail with the fittings


one of the -8 feed lines


surge tank came in as well, still trying to decided how i want everything but this is most likely how it will end up


after working all day its time to shine...

[BiG MiKE86]

Awesome! I like the look of the line. Im at the final stages of running my lines from the tank to the firewall and this is good reference material - thanks! any better pics of how you crossed over by the differential to avoid all moving parts?

[AZSCsideways]

More or less just went right over top from the drivers side, I'll try to take some more pics of it tonight for you mike

[BiG MiKE86]

Thanks bud!
