I wasn't infering you had copied the Jenvey pleunum... Great minds do think alike though.

But it is similar.

:yes:

Jenvey are one of the world leaders in aftermerket intake design. I have seen a one off Jenvey intake (in the US) for an rb26 that was amazing... very very xxx'y.

If I was going to fab from scratch an intake, I personally would look at the Jenvey designs and start there.... :whistling:

Either way whoever designed your's, has a good handle on intake design.

Rekorderling by far?, this week im hoping to finish the stitching in the cab weld up a few of the floor pan holes, i am going to make some nice cover plates and nut serts for a few of the other holes just incase i need to run some thing later and will get started on the full rewire.

Does any one know if the abs unit has a inbulit computer like most abs units or if it has an external unit as i want to retain the abs?

Main hoop for the cage should come soon as well so i will start that after the wire up, depending how far i get on sunday i will cut the rear gaurds strech the inner skin and make up the templates for the wide body but see what happens.

I will post up some pics of the front gaurds as i wi be moudling the glas onto the steel frame of the old gaurds for rigidity and strength.

Xrated, im with you now the pick up running the length of the manifold hahaha sorry mate major seniors moment ?.

I was looking through there site last night they have some very nice stuff and if you did use that as i starting point i think you would be pretty much on the money.

Me and my old man did everything for mine, he has done a fair bit before.

It's a great way to pick up extra intake runner length, without running into the strut tower.

If only I had the skills and gear.... to make my ideas come to life.\

If you ever get bored, a direct comparison of stock v's your intake mani would be a very interesting read.

I wish i had, after all the turbo was changed and everything i had thought about it and wished i did a back to back but bit to late now i think, i know it will make a big difference and give it allot more bottom end and mid range which rbs lack a bit.

So it should be good, decided today on a bright blood orange with black bonet black duck tail and just waiting for a quote back from provynil for doing the decals.

Im still

Umming and ahhing about black wheels or keep them silver.

So finally getting a bit more done on the wiring and getting one step closer to firing it up after 3 years of sitting still.

Finished up the fuse box and relay board now and i have all the control box done and started the wiring in process, all the rear lights main and lift pump wiring is done and all the terminals fitted and now i am onto the front of the car, once all the front wiring is done i will make all the dash cluster and new gauge panels and wire all the warning led's in.

So it looks like the wide body is now for sale as due to the wtac class restriction i cant use a wide body in my class, so i will have to stretch the steel guards as much as i can to make everything fit.

The fronts i should get 20mm out of quite easily but the rear will be a challenge.

Had all the new gauges turn up some of the old ones will get the turf any way some pis of where i am up to.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
