  1. So its been awhile since Ive posted on here, just a quick update. So ive been trying to address my frame issue for some time now. As you can see they are very messed up. The driver side is not nearly as twisted but still had a slight bow to it with a straight edge. Attempted to straighten the chassis with the engine bay frame rails connected. To little avail I have decided to remove all the rails. So after a little massage its slowly coming together. The metal has streched so far in many places it will need to be replaced with new. Pulled a template from the drivers side to show how far off it is. Alittle closer still needs work How time to start building some rails and get the car straight.
  2. The people were on vacation and it is yet to determined, not meth and our houses dont have natural gas, it could have been propane I guess but Ive never heard of that. There is nothing left, the basement walls on one side were moved over a foot outward. The house next to them suffered damage from the blow and has been comdemend by the FD. And the NBD was sarcastic by the way.
  3. Thank you EF Ian, So had the tires mounted and balanced the other day. Ill have to stop by the parts store and find some nut that will work with the small diameter holes. In the mean time
  4. So I just got back end of june from more field work in the montana area for School. Glad to be home and able to work on the car some more. Ive been busy ordering and fabing parts. I still have a full time job over the summer while im home so dont expect to much. No classes I need to graduate will be offered until summer of next year so I do have a entire year to get some work done of this thing. Not very many pictures were taken during fab work, I tend to forgot to take them as I get to working on things as a result you guys only ever see the before and after. Im going to attempt to get better at taking more photos since Ill be able to make more then just one post a summer in the thread now. So I started by making some adjustable lower control arm(LCA) for the rear to match the fronts. I borrowed the design from a member on here which I will give credit to once I find the post again. I also had a little shopping spree to support the HX35, DW 740cc injectors, Precision 46mm WG, Tial BOV, SPEC stage 2+ clutch and Aluminum flywheel. I also bought some wheels and tires after selling the steelies I had to a friend with a 78' Z. Bought some Wat knock off, Rota RKR 15x9 And some Hankook RS3 V2 to wrap them in, borrowed photo for reference. 225x45 I am in the process of building this twin scroll tubular manifold right now. 1.75'' SS mandrel bends. Flanges were all water jetted for me locally, I have about $230 into this right now and about 15 hours of labor. Clears AC, but not PS as I wont be running that so I made my bends much more gradual as a result. Looks strange but all the runners at within .75'' of each other. The space I have to work with limited me from going to crazy, also the availability of different radius bends, all my radius are 5'' as I couldn't get and tighter from my local supplier. I have tomorrow off so a little more welding and time to pressure test it with smoke, then sandblasting and send it off for ceramic coating. Should I do black or silver? Also my neighbors house blew up today.... NBD
  5. So I bought some more things today, all the heim joint and bungs I will need to make the control arms above. Along with some schedule 40 pipe, which is .133 wall so plenty thick. Also my gauges came in yesterday Fuel Sender The bezel they will sit in Also picked up a turbo, just a little guy. Few guys making upwards of 750whp with these on the 25, most are around the 400-500whp range. Sent the internals off for balancing, will rebuild it once they return. Being a HX35, it is twin scroll so I will keep it so. I may or may not attempt to make a quick spool valve for this thing. I will be making a manifold for it to utilize the twin scroll, 1 1/4'' is stock and seems that most of the after market big money manifolds are the same size, the cheap ebay mani's are 1 7/8'' or there about. Placement will be the hardest part, not alot of room will be left with everything stuffed in the engine bay. I cleaned it up a bit from when I bought it from zach, and removed brackets for all the attachments shaving about a pound that the manifold will have to support. Ill also be picking up a precision 46mm WG and a tial qr sport, they type that recirculates because im staying MAF. I also plan to get some deatsch werks 740cc, all the flow calc ive used say these will give me the power Im looking for in both gas and e85 at or under 80% duty. Clutch wise I will be getting a spec 2+ good for 415 tq which is much more then I will ever have, being my goal whp is just shy of 400.
  6. Here are mine I did. Make sure you build a jig to prevent any warping or unwanted movement, you need it to stay as square as it was from the factory.
  7. Yesterday I just about finished up my relief area for the throttle body, the way I postioned the engine in the engine bay was fine for the stock throttle body, when I added the q45 the springs touched ever so slightly, knowing that things rotate and flex due to torque I gave it enough room To move however it pleases, although I dont think its doing anywhere with poly-urathane bushings. I had to spend all of today working on homework so I dont get backed up, I have about 15 minutes of sanding left in the corners. I also picked up some toyota 4x4 calipers, 15/16 master cylinder, and hawk HPS pads so this thing can stop alittle better.
  8. Also interested in seeing how that cage works out
  9. Thought I would do i quick update to keep the thread fresh. Only had Wednesday afternoon and Thursday evening to do anything, I managed to finish the lighting electrical portion of the car, everything is working good, couple hiccups here and there dealing with a harness built for gm switches. Everything connection has been or is in the process of being switched to a amp connector, similar to a delphi weatherpack but much cheaper. All wires will eventually run through braided nylon loom I have the main runners taken care of, just the shorter section under the dash left. I thought I had the intercooler mounted in its final position last week, adding the hood hinges changed that idea quickly. So I had to do some adjusting to make everything fit but it all clears. I also mounted the front air dam, had been stressing over this, turned out good.
  10. So my goal is for the car to be running, driving and road legal by my birthday April 24th, not done just road worthy, tested and ready to go as I want to take it to the twin cities for a car show on April 26th. I will focus on wiring, bodywork and engine odds and ends. Currently I have pulled the engine and trans to help as I stripped the entire car of its existing wiring harness, have thrown it in a box and never plan to look at it again. Why you may ask, well, being that car was some ones future race endeavor most the remaining harness was well not what I needed. So I pulled it all and ordered this. Now its by no means a plug an play harness, actually it barely works for the Datsun, its meant to be run of the drivers side and the wires are set up to be run through GM equipment so a lot of comparing diagrams to figure out how to make Nissan parts work the same as GM parts. I have built a fuse panel holder under the driver’s side dash since lengthening all the wires was not a road I was going to venture down, I have also decide to attempt to de-clutter the steering column a bit and relocated the ignition cylinder to the cig lighter location. In between waiting for various electrical parts in the mail I managed to mount up my radiator and intercooler. The radiator is for a 240sx and is about a ¼’’ too wide for the 280z frame rail so they required slight notching for clearance. That brings me up to about Wednesday of last week, I will have to post pictures tomorrow of what I have completed thus far as I do not have anything to show other than this is in my possession for the RB25, was at a price I couldn’t pass up. Got me pretty motivated and really was the whole reason I pulled this project out for the other garage and started working on it again.
  11. So with the frame issues all resolved I focused on getting the engine started as quickly as possible, using this forum along with a handful of skyline forms I managed to figure it out in a few days and somehow this happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnA33pXGxis&feature=youtu.be[/video] I didn’t run it long as it was nowhere near ready for that. This wraps up 2013 for this build, as I got back mid November I started work on it once again in the middle of January.
  12. So oddly enough this marks a year since I have last posted on this forum. I have been away for about 8 months on a field camp for my geology major in New Mexico and Arizona. I last worked on the datsun in march, here is the progress I made but was unable to post.
  13. So its been forever since I posted anything due to my college research project. I spent the few free hours I had wiring up the car. I have decided to re wire the entire car so I still have the body loom to build, shouldnt be to difficult, the engine loom was very straight forward. I have since decided to re build my oil pan, I liked everything about it execpt for the fact I couldnt get the engine in the car with it on due to the cross member. So Im going to re-design it so it is similar to the sr20 oil. A two peice design should fix the problem. Not sure how soon Ill be able to get this finished due to up and coming projects but I have not given up or stoppped working on this. Stay tuned, once the pan is finished I can post a start up video.
  14. So I had a little free time to get the pan a little closer to finished, at about 40% welded. Still need to make a baffle system, dipstick, and windage tray. The first pic gives the appearance that the ends are lower, I assure you that is not the case and just appears that way everything is slightly slanted toward the hull.
