alainburon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Man I hated doing that, very time consuming. If I had to do it again I would pay someone to do it. Like the guys that hang out in front of Home Depot looking for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshapaka Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Stock brake booster and Wilwood CMC came in. Primed and painted in wrinkle black Rigid Racing CMC adapter and Z32 1" BMC Finished up the sound deadening removal in the rear and found some Doublemint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshapaka Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Primed and painted the BMC Got the radiator (3 core Champion) in tonight and got it installed. Had to make a small notch to accommodate the drain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshapaka Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Z31 brake booster and the Z32 1" BMC The last few weeks have been all about cooling and power steering in an effort to get everything underhood completed. Main shipment of power steering parts More presents Ended up going another route and will not be using the coolant inline filler pictured Plug! Please subscribe on YouTube Making the PS pressure line with -6AN PTFE Removing the barbs on the water pump Derale Fan/shroud came in. Fit and finish are excellent. Pleasantly surprised to find that the fans are SPAL. 2000 cfm each Going to have to drop the rad down an inch or so to accommodate the thickness of both the rad and fan shroud Ebay fuel pressure gauge started leaking oil already, so it will be replaced with this Aeromotive one Majority of the last shipment came in today. Waiting on the Canton surge tank, swivel tstat housing and oddball fitting for the tank Not 530ZX, but also had my Doug Rippie revalved Bilsteins come in today for the C6Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshapaka Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Made some drop mounts out of aluminum tube, rubber well nuts with 10-24 threaded inserts, ss all thread, and ss hardware. Not that it matters, but i didn't have to modify the car at all with these. First cooling line mock up Swivel Tstat housing and Canton surge tank came in Final coolant mockup to determine gaps Swapping bottom coupler to a 45 Straight 1/2" NPT to 5/8" isn't going to clear. Will order a 90 degree Clears the hood...barely Plenty of room for a turbo Bam! Picked up a T56 locally out of a LS1 Fbody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshapaka Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 More parts came in Hey free shirt Finally weighed the sound deadening and "over panels", and I was pleased with the savings. Most likely another 5 lbs in the shop vac and a bit more unaccounted for No more flux core Replaced the rear seal Pulled the engine again to get the clutch installed, trans bolted up and final prep on the bay done Pilot bearing installed Clutch installed Heater core ports tapped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshapaka Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 I just had my first child a week ago so i haven't gotten much done. However some of the grandmas came over a couple of days ago, and I did manage to get the clutch slave cylinder fittings swapped over and bolted onto the trans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
