Ivan280zt Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Just got caught up on the last two years of this build (last 8 pages or so). My head hurts. . . Great now you can stop asking me how everything is coming along every time we talk lol. Got the car back on the ground and rolling around! Shiny parts! DEAR BABY JESUS CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BODY WORK!!! Got my fuel rail from FSmoto great quality and great service from top notch guys! Also got the 11mm top hats for my ID1000's from my local shop TopDeadCenter (TDC). Fuel rail looks all fancy in there. Q45 throttle body all cleaned up and primed looks nice and simple. I think thats all I have for now no more updates until after holidays.

Ivan280zt Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Its been few weeks from last update so I figured it would be good time for one. Brand new brake master cylinder. Remanufactured brake booster (primed and spray painted came out pretty nice). They make such a nice couple. Spray painted throttle body not as baller as Richards painting but it will do. Under intake manifold. 5 bar aem map sensor. Made -4 turbo oil feed line. Vacuum line for Tial Bov. Ingressol Rand boost solenoid. Catch can all done and mounted. I think that I might add extra bracket on catch can so it can be more sturdy. Dipstick bracket made. Going to start on fuel system tomorrow so more fun for me...

garvice Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 WOW, so jealous. Engine bay paint came up great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Looks amazing. A word of advice, I used the same tubing on my car from the boost controller to wastegate etc and the the tubing that came any where near the turbo or exhaust completely melted on my first drive. It was suppose to be high temp tubing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I mounted my aem boost solenoid on the firewall pretty much in the same spot and its is loud as hell, you might want to rubber isolate it at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planing on for sure just need to finish few more small brackets and then it's off to powdercoating then I will do final mounting.

ZT-R Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Ivan, get your ass in gear dude. I know I needed someone saying that when I was at that point in my build. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB240zDET Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Insane 2jz build. I have a soft spot for the 1jz's and 2jz's. Maybe one day I will throw one into my S30's. Overall you have done amazing work and your attention to detail is great. Good luck on finishing the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smevans Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Amazing build. I just sold my Evo on Tuesday, will be picking up a 240z on Sunday and beginning my build. Thanks for the inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan280zt Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 (edited) Got around to doing my fuel system it came out pretty nice and I am fairly happy with it. Bosch 044 pumps mouted with all the fittings. Very tight fit. Mounted right next to the fuel cell. Got these fuel filters from summitracing one for each pump. I ended up mounting my FRP between starter and engine mount it came out really good. Return line from fuel rail to the FPR. Dual -8 feed with filters before pumps. Dual -8 into single -10 feed line. Talk about tight fit! Second line is -8 return. -8 return line Under the car. Weldon fuel filter (I will run driveshaft loop around it so it will serve as a shield for filter and as a driveshaft loop). -10 feed line to the rail. From the top looks clean and no clutter of lines running around. Test fitted some 15" Weld's from another broke ass non running Z... : ) I think that I am going to start building my brake lines next so more shopping for me.

Ivan280zt Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Man talk about overdue update!!! I did not do much over the last two months I guess working mostly six days a week does not leave much time for car work. I was able to finish my brake lines today everything came out good except rear brake line (soft line to hard line) fittings are leaking on both sides which I had feeling would happen since they did not feel like they fitted very well. I will look into that issue next weekend I guess. 3/16 brake line with -3AN fittings and banjo bolts on master cylinder. I think that I have about 12-14 hours of labor in whole setup. I could have done it much faster but I was just taking my time with it since I wanted to do this only one time and I wanted it to look nice and clean. -3AN bulkhead fitting Line lock "mounted" on the crossmember. I have to build bracket for it that will keep it about 1-1.5" higher than it is in picture so it would be about same height as 2jz crossmember. I mounted (with zipties lol) proportioning valve under the car since I only plan to adjust brake bias one time and lets be real this is not road race car so I dont need it inside of the car. Thats it for the brakes I just need to see what is the deal with two of the adapter fittings and then brakes should be ready to be bleed of air.

Ivan280zt Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Did I mention that my new wheels came in?!?! They are weld rt-s series front wheels are 15x3 1.5"BS and rear wheels are 15x9 4.5BS (crap they might be 5.5BS not sure anymore lol). Front tires are Nexen 3000 and rears are some junk hoosier 275/50-15 that I got from F&D autocare for free and Bob was nice enough to mount them for me THANKS BOB!!! Man I really like how this back looks now!!! No clearance issues with big brakes at all. Next on the list are fender flares to be mounted then it will be time for engine management wiring.
