rb is still sitting patiently waiting. This was meant to just be a paint the bay job then throw the L back in but seems to have escalated some how...Pedey wrote:Looking sweet! Not going RB any more I see?
A 280Z
Bit more progress
Last few bits back from electroplaters so could finally put the carbs back together and bolt them back on.
Radiator mounted for the last time hopefully and water hard lines done.
Because of my new home made strut brace I had an issue with my old fuel line setup not clearing. So had to get all crazy with AN fittings to make it work, yep its totally ridiculous but only way I could make it clear brace and throttle linkage gear.
Shes pretty tight, but all sort of fits
Catch tank mounted and plumbed
Coil up front
As it sits now, pretty much all the mechanical stuff now done thankfully
Wiring nightmare now begins...

Looks very bling great job.
I see Motorsport regs now state the breather bottle/catch can now must be located on the opposite side to the exhaust. Not sure if Land Transport have the same requirements might pay to check.

Bugga, reminds me of the Blackadder episode when Edmund came up with some missing words! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOSYiT2iG08nzeder wrote:Looks very bling great job.

Engine compartment looks good, nice with the coil and plug wires tucked away. Hope that beautiful engine has a C type box behind it.
I had it in a similar spot for the last warrant and wasn't an issue but cheers for the heads up.nzeder wrote:Looks very bling great job.

Started making some headway on the wiring. The original loom was in a pretty messy state due to years of people cutting and splicing not to mention my car having had a LHD to RHD conversion along the way. I have cut away as much of the old redundant fuel injection wiring as possible.
Front end done. Replaced a few of the old connectors and tried to route as neat as I can. All wiring now runs through the guard as wanted to try and keep the engine bay clean.
Engine bits finished. New 2G cable running to battery in the back of the car
Through firewall
I managed to score some sweet sealed 12V battery's from Craig260 to replace my old dead one, chur bo! These things are nice and small which is cool. One should do the trick but am going to use two.
Knocked up these guys to mount them
Decided to mount behind the rear seats, they just squeeze in there.

That's a great rule. So what do you do with a V configured engine?nzeder wrote:Looks very bling great job.
