~KnuckleDuster~ Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Retrofitted the 5" autometer tach in the stock housing. Pretty smooth install. I wanted a close to stock look so went with the GT series and I'm really happy with it. I'll be getting the speedo to match eventually.

winstonusmc Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Have you figured out what you want to do about the speedo sensor? I verified through the your wiring that it doesnt have a speed sensor like I was talking about earlier. That gauage looks good though. I bet the autometer gauge might have a way to drive it via a coupl magnets on the driveshaft or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure yet, speedhut sells speedos that read off gps but I don't like the idea of running two different looking gauges and not sure if they can be fitted into the stock housing like the autometers. I didn't have a working speedo with my last rb and it didn't bother me. You tend to pay more attention to the drive rather than constantly checking if your following the rules haha. The cops are pretty low key in my area too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~KnuckleDuster~ Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Thanks, yeah it was cut from a piece of what looks like thick plexi glass, not sure if that's what it is but someone did a decent job on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~KnuckleDuster~ Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 With my last RB Z I never had to touch the oil pan and it was stock so I can only assume it was the hard to find OEM rear sump pan. After looking at the expensive Mckinney pan and the cheap looking CXRacing I found what looks like a good middle ground. The enjuku racing pan w/ pick-up. http://www.enjukuracing.com/products/rb25det-rb20det-s30-z31-rear-sump-oil-pan.html Anyone have any other options to throw out there or opinions on the enjuku? I'm not really looking to have a shop fab something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KnuckleDuster~ Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) In my boredom yesterday I made an air inlet for the future intake. My previous RB responded better to a short ram style intake over a cold air type. Ill eventually have some sort of pipe or air deflector to direct the air to the filter. The inlet used was from a Nissan Titan oem air box and it was able to bolt it right to the radiator support using the pre-existing holes.

~KnuckleDuster~ Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Waiting for the final pieces to come in before the swap can begin. Oil pan & wiring harness awaiting shipment, and the header is at the powdercoaters getting some cerakote high temp. I took a couple pictures of the lifeless shell that she is..yearning for a new soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KnuckleDuster~ Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Got my legacy license plates in after a 2 year wait. Totally worth it! I got the 70's style month sticker to go with it. Header back from the powder coater. Cerakoted in high temp bright silver. Rated for 1800* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KnuckleDuster~ Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Just got the intake put together. K&N filter w/ Blitz MAF adapter, 3.25" - 3" coupler, BEGi 3" Mild Steel Tube w/ 5/8 hosebarb, ending with a 3" - 2.75" 45* coupler. Eventually I'll try and get my hands on some black hose clamps to finish it off nice and clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
