Gollum Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Do I hear the angels singing? I think God agrees this is a a righteous swap. Man it's clean. I love the intercooler/radiator mount. Friend of mine just finished a V IC/rad setup on his FD, really helps weight distro. I'd love to see some pics once it's all finished (body and all). EDIT: just saw the pics from the post above, dang I'd hate to race against that. Looks wicked man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks280zt Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 hmmm is that intercooler "custom" made our one of the ebay ones we all love so much, j/c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigenOut-S30 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 that car looks awesome!!.. great swap and alot of detail went into it you can tell. One thing I dont get is the V mount of the IC. it seems like it would get heat soaked and there is nowhere for the air to go after it passes through. Just dont see the benifit from that way unless space was limited of course. Again.. that is a great looking skyline and a sweet swap. I bet she moves..

DattoZG Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 im going to be making a mold of my hood made of fiberglass and run a reverse hood scoop for the air to pass through the i/c....the radiaor has 2 HUGE fans behind the ron davis radiator, it has a custom shroud, im not done with the motor still have some other small details, i still have to make shrouds the sides of the radiator and i/c. as for now my im going to prop the hood about 1" to vent out the air to the rear but it will be fine. heres a link to a G35 with same v-mount setup. http://superstreetonline.com/featuredvehicles/130_0508_signal/index2.html it was built by signal auto, if you see the black hood, that the same hood scoop ill be making. theres ways i can go about it, i can add fans to the i/c, vent the hood, run hood scoop, etc..not worried about the air being soaked. i just wanted to do a different setup. mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj paul Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 just like to chime in here that that thing is badass. by the way, you all have any info on getting those taillights for 240zs? ive always loved the skyline taillights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DattoZG Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 i can prolly get the tail lights but i assure they will not be cheap. the closet i can get them are in austrailia...forget getting them in japan its gonna cost triple the price. so if your interested ill email my friend and see if he would ship to US and what it would cost. that would definatley look crazy on a 240z. mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DattoZG Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 hehehe i dont know at that time in that picture the motor wasnt installed and the fronts had major positive camber but still the rears have some great negative camber. when i get time ill have some plates made for the rears. mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S30TRBO Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Mikey, The Ken and Mary is coming along great. So is the whole thing painted or just the engine bay? Need more pics, have you updated cardomain? On my end, my Ross pistons finally came in, Wats have been on for a while check out the thread if you missed it. http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/...ead.php?t=18850 All other parts are purchased just waiting for the motor to finish so I can start assembly. I was just out in your neck of the woods last week for 4 days in Huntington Beach. I met a guy who has a sweet 240Z w/ RB25DET that I am thinking about to compliment my L6 Turbo. I am still trying to track down 2 15x8 XR-4 no luck so far.... Later, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
