    Lovely indeed. The top of your plenum needs some kind of decoration/ dress up.
    I have been thinking about adding a heatsink to the top possibly but I do agree, needs something

    Will do! Thanks

    Its kinda hard to see but the clamps are held in place by the spring fastener, the fastener goes through the clamp(the inner part of the clamp is threaded) and contacts the frame, the bottoms also have a channel that a pin slides into( added this later)

    • As someone with experience around 300ZX engine bays, I can respect what you are up to- the only Japanese car that rivals the difficulty of repair of one of these is a 3000gt. You're knocking it out of the park, dude; can't wait to see what she looks like running.

      • Much happening in here? I have this thread favourited and decided to come back to see if there was any progress.

        I look forward to the next update.

            Thanks man! It is a bear to work on in stock form but once you remove almost everything its no longer a problem

            Yes lots to still do but I have unfortunately been busy with my other projects, but hopefully soon I can get some updates rolling in

            Current project, I may start a build on this as well

            • Well, i've just spent about 2h reading all the posts and deeply checking each of the pictures and i cant stop from telling you this, sincere apologies if it offends you in any way... you're an ocd psychopath.

              I love your work, it's so damn clean and accurate that i literally dont know how to compliment with you lol

              Just keep it up, i hope to see it done soon(even if, after seeing you started this thread back in '14, i'm sure it'll take a few years still).

                • Now that is a radiator hose!

                  The idea here is to add a hard ridged section on the lower radiator hose

                  Adding a bit of rigidity as the tube itself is apart of the mounting system

                  If you need a steady rest for welding try getting yourself a multi position magnetic base, works flawlessly

                  • So much work for something most people will never see. I love it.

                    • Just read from start to finish.

                      this is absolutely amazing! keep up the good work.

                        • Dude, holy shit! I just read the entire thread and I absolutely applaud you!

                          My only qualm is with the soldering on the wire harness. Soldering does not belong on a vehicle. Some may call me out for nitpicking but it could potentially lead to more issues that require a lot of time and digging to rectify.

                          Quoting myself here from another thread:

                          One word of recommendation though, solder does not belong in a car. Proper crimp and splice connections will out live and out perform solder in a vehicle. Use proper adhesive lined heat shrink butt crimps with a good crimping tool. Always give the wires the tug test before shrinking down the connectors. If it fails the tug test, then the connection must be redone. A proper crimp is stronger than the wire its self.

                          Only place solder should be used is in PCB boards. Wires should be crimp only.

                          The rigidity of a solder connection can fail and crack due to vibrations and heat cycles.

                          • The craftsmanship and engineering and tools are just amazing... but it just seems so over the top excessive.

                              That's not a bad thing. If the car was built to handle 300whp and you used it at 300whp then you would be maxing out the capabilities and abilities of the engine, chassis, safety, etc. If the car was built to handle 600whp and used only at 300whp then you have a margin for safety and potential for future work. My numbers are purely for example but it helps show the concept.

                              I'd much rather over build and be at 60-80% duty cycle on parts and chassis then be pushing 100% and straining everything all the time.
