docaam Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Cars coming on well, going to be awesome when this is finished. What car is your 1" master cylinder from? With regards to your clearance problems with your wheels, if you've not already sorted it then fitting an AZC steering arm will give you more room. Thanks man. I am using wilwood maser cylinder. For clearance will use 5mm spacers at the front first then see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Loving the work being done on the car, didn't visit them for a week but as per owner of Peak Performance here in Dubai car is almost done and will be ready from his side by this week. I took some pictures week back when they fitted the sway bars. I went with MSA sway bars both front and rear, usually people dont run rear sways on 240Z, but as I worked so much on the suspension so went with these as well. Not sure how the ride will be with coil overs, full front and rear suspension changed and all solid mounts for engine, differential. Front Sway Bar New holes drilled Fits nicely with Techo Toy Tuning TC Rods and Camber arms. Rear ones Drilled in the body and bolted from inside the cabin Oil cooler brackets are finalized Will fit the wheels today so can do the final adjustments on the camber/caster and if the track needs to be widened or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ok fitted the wheels and seems like problem of tire rod end hitting the wheels barrel is gone after tweaking the camber arms and TC rods or maybe because of installation of sway bars WORK CR01 15 X 8.5 and 9.5 with Bridgestone RE11 195 50 15 and 205 50 15 Coilovers are set of high level will lower at time of alignment This is the dropped height as of now Very relieved on the front ones Perfect offsets either to run on slightly negative camber or with fender flares Center cap is not fitting in the front might need some alteration Installed with Kics Neo Chrome long open lugs . I like how the rotors are peeking though the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EF Ian Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Those T3 parts are looking nice, definitly will be going for them on my build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Doesn't seem like much rubber for an RB install. 225 width would fit the wheels and stick to the track better. I know, I know, I'm just saying -- I am a big fan of this project, I just like more function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Cars looking good! Following this one closely Thanks man Those T3 parts are looking nice, definitly will be going for them on my build. They are great I highly reckon it Doesn't seem like much rubber for an RB install. 225 width would fit the wheels and stick to the track better. I know, I know, I'm just saying -- I am a big fan of this project, I just like more function. I am aware of the issue but problem was sourcing the tires which I couuldnt do. Only thing I found was these RE11 and that also need to get from US to dubai. Coming to the updates: Being a huge fan of Chip Foose have watched Overhalling again and again lol, so wanted to do 10% of what he does to the cars. Was waiting till the main work is done to start of heat and sound insulation, only thing came to my mind was Dynamat products. SWISS AUDIO FTW, They did an awesome work on my 370Z and now this they are working now on installation. For those who don't know my audio setup done by them won all the local competitions for straight two years. First they are doing a Dynamat Extreme, which will be stuck on the firewall, full floor, trunk, rear side fenders, doors and even the roof, main purpose was to reduce road noise, engine sound/vibrations and heat from the exhaust. http://www.dynamat.com/products_automotive_dynamat_xtreme.html I love the way Swiss Audio guys work, they removed everything from the car even the brake and accelerator to cover the whole area. I took some phone pics yesterday while they were doing, rest might take today Once its finished it will be covered with DynaPad, which will hopefully eliminate all heat and acoustic issues at all. http://www.dynamat.com/products_automotive_dynapad.html, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Dynamat thing is done, still I need the doors to be done but that will be after I change the window channel and most probably will be at the time of audio install. Dynapad was a smaller piece so just in main three places. Some installed phone pictures was more worried about the the holes next to the fuel cell now all covered up Other areas Firewall area most important Rest all finished Car is off the jack so took some pictures Waiting for intake manifold, fuel rails and 80mm throttle body to finish off the work, parts will be here by Sunday Meanwhile doing some DIY to fit the Autometer guages, Im using the stock guage housing and installing the meters in that, sizes are bit different so gaps will be filled by Bondo and a respray on the whole dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Will take some updates on the engine parts on Sunday. Few things which were done, was fixing the dashboard and installing Autometer gauges. I used the stock bezels and moulded them in the dashboard. Kept them a bit tilted giving a more modern look. Dash had two big cracks was almost in two pieces, fixed with epoxy and then sanded and painted matte black. Finished dash three bigger guages went in place of stock There are three more guages, A/F ratio, Voltmeter and Fuel guages which will go in place of radio headunit. Got the exhaust muffler as well, 2.5" pipe will get a custom one to go with it. Nardi steering Cusco front and rear Strut bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shed a tear reading through this thread but there is a time and place for everything so I know I will have another Z soon! Can't wait to see the final outcome. I told you, you wont be disappointed Finally I can say final stages. Engine upgrade things are done still needs to test it though. Dropped the car for full rerun the wiring in a proper way, fixing the AC and all guages All opened up After doing lots of tests the guy couldnt fit the evaporator to the stock blower so bought a whole new evaporator with built in blower its more of a universal kind Comes with controller as well Got a whole immobilizer, remote door trunk opener and along with keyless entry and starting No Key now Will use these to kit the footwell area Wiring all sorted out through the firewall, no tape will be used all electric soldering These are the final three guages which will go in place of headunit Was really excited to see the LED lit guages so first start Cant wait to get all this done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Tonight I visited the place electrical and AC work should finish by tomorrow Dash is installed all gauges are installed. Dont have pictures for the other three which will go in place of headunit I just cant get enough of these Asked to guy to installed two green LEDs for hazard and one blue for highbeam in the speedometer The red rings looks awesome in person Removed stock AC blower and evaporator and in the picture a black box in the middle can be seen, will throw air through stock vents. New AC condenser with a fan fitted nicely, oil cooler still needs mounting bracket Remote door and trunk locks installed Blue light on parking light setting Love the quality of Xenons, very bright Rear lights and Licence plate lights still stock ones will replace later with LEDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 UPDATE: The electrician had some family problems hence the delay but he is trying to come once or twice a week to finish off the things. Once the wiring was done some wires from the harness got disconnected so car is having problem in getting started. I brought back the car to the workshop to get the fuel fine, fuel return channel and other pending intercooler piping done. All is done installed some new couplers and New Injectors as well as stock one were not fitting with this fuel rail. Everything looks good just the wiring once its started needed to be cleaned up Air filter is installed as well went for mushroom style because of lack of space Fuel system all ready Regulator moved to a better place Changed the battery terminals as well Battery kill switch will go inside the dashboard console along with AC switches Bought Cusco Oil Catch Can (original JDM lol) form the shop owner as he was storing it for last two years so will be installed with a breather filter Got a good deal on HKS BOV as well, will install after starting the car Thinking of selling and removing the rear spoiler Car was dirty as hell but still love the paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywats Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) PM me... I'll take the rear spoiler. Just realized you were in dubai, it wouldnt be cheap to ship. Edited September 19, 2012 by Rywats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champfacp Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hi, great job on this car! Love the build! Can you tell me where you get this AC blower? What brand? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docaam Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Sorted out the wiring 80% (just cleaning up is left and some gauges hook up) Took the car to Fox for exhaust fabrication, went for 2.5" (inline with future NA plans) custom fabrication of down pipe with single resonator and muffler I used from HKS 2.5" inlet 4" outlet. The exhaust has steep clearance as there was a space near the differential to pass it but rear sway bar was blocking it. Anyways looks and sounds amazing. Fitment time Resonator Downpipe Blocking space Finished Ground Clearance Also fitted HKS BOV Current work going on, got a relay box just finalizing the wiring Moved the AC controller in the (so called) glove box Gauges are installed except boost controller (will do later) Fabricated stock fan controller unit but will move gauges down to headunit part and then do the whole in carbon fiber, it will have light on top, then AC Vent then custom space with some lights (hazard, high beam, AC and Alternator) and toggle switches for Fan and AC and boost controller then three gauges. Finally there is a seat in the car Have a short clip of exhaust sound will post once upload it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
