No sir, i was just taking cracks at mustang owners and paisa drift. My friend is out of town for training and had me pick it up at greyhound while he's out. Red and white rouge on an 8" buffing wheel They are glass I have a bolt on bash bar installed in the pic. It was made to fit with the zenki blinkers. I'm not sure if the entire "cow plow" style bar setup would even fit. I plan to get a skid plate for road kill, however, i haven't yet looked into whether they fit with JZ swaps or not.

I can't stand disassembling calipers, the pistons have to be the most annoying thing ever to try and remove. Gotta do it to get the color changed though.

Another small insignificant update. Ended up finding a little bit of time to make the lines for the oil cooler.
These canle cutters make quick work of the nylon braided lines. Tried them on some -10 SS hose and there wasn't even a chance of them cutting though. These small cutters I found will cut up to -10 nylon hose. Lines running from the cooler. Ran the lines through this extremely convenient hole made at the factory. Thanks for thinking ahead Nissan. And down to the block. Sent from my iPhone

I removed the NISMO 2 way so that I can get it drilled out to accept the 13mm ring gear bolts for the 3.69 final drive setup that I picked up.
Also, split the calipers in half to get them ready for powder coating. I still need to grind the letters off of the rear calipers before taking them in. Just last night these output shafts showed up. Time to source some 350z axles.

Pulled out the Koyo KA radiator and slapped in a brand new SR20 N-Flo radiator. Decided to just remedy this now prior to it becoming an actual issue later on down the road. I noticed this bleeder port that was not present on the undivided core of the KA radiator and it has given me some additional ideas for this cooling system.
Now that the inlet pipe is going to be on the opposite side, I shipped the coolant neck and PBM swirl pot out to Stewart Leask to have some trick JZ bits fabbed up. Can't wait to get this piece back, I've had this in mind for a while so it will be nice to see my idea created and put to use.

Yeah he was definitely the person that I needed to do this; his work is super clean. I'm hoping to learn how to weld once I have the majority of this build completed.

Bump for updates
Eliminated the factory cluster temp gauge (since the JZ sensor doesn't work with the 240 cluster) and had a bung welded on to use my Defi gauge instead to monitor my temps.

Thanks, I really think it turned out great. I need to either hit it with some polish or get it coated. Quote:
The cap came from Phase2, it feels like such a quality piece when you are holding it. I can't wait for my car to actually drive so I can put it to use.

So the front fenders have been sold.
Then the wheels sold. And then the rear fenders sold. Stay tuned for updates! [emoji111]🏻️

Sorry for the lack of updates! We've gone weeks at ridiculously high temperatures, like 110+, and I haven't been able to work on the car. I decided to hit these bolts with a wire wheel on the bench grinder to clean them up, though. Anyone care to guess what they are for? Free hug to the winner. [emoji16]

Negative sir. They are the bolts that hold the caliper halves together. I had to order a bunch of things for the rear brakes that I thought I had already purchased, so yeah.... Assembly pending delivery. They are the same color as my valve covers: Krome + Candy Blue

I forgot that was part of the car
But great color choice nonetheless, did you do it yourself? Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk
