_FNQ_rolla_ Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 It’s been a little while between updates …. I have been sorting out the radiator. I wanted a bigger then standard radiator so the only way it was going to happen was to do some slight modification to the radiator support. The below pictures shows where I was going to make for a bigger radiator (see the white line as a guide line ~ being equal distance from the centre of the car) The result After contacting PWR about core thicknesses, I made up a dummy radiator (out of timber full size) to see if it will fit with the engine/engine bay. It all measured up how I planned so I placed an order to have a new twin core radiator made up to my specifications and about 3 weeks later it arrived. Dummy radiator and the new radiator All fitted up with new radiator supports welded in. Just another random picture I found ….. its been too long since its been under its own power.

_FNQ_rolla_ Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I hate uploading photos, it’s so much mucking around… Hit the cam covers with some paint stripper and then a little bit of polishing. Before After What it looked like in the car Before After, but this time with an aluminium valley cover Before After, but this time with an aluminium valley cover I did not get a lot of pictures of making the aluminium valley cover I thought about buying one of the Carbon fibre things that do not fit properly, and I think a plastic look would not look right on a vehicle of this age (and I like shiny things) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_FNQ_rolla_ Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Been looking all week and do you think I could find any 70mm diameter aluminium tube anywhere......... Noooo Need some to start making the intercooler piping ! Looks like I will have to make one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_FNQ_rolla_ Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I had some aluminium sheet that I cut to make a 70mm diameter tube/pipe once it was rolled. I made the pipe length longer then I needed. Pictures in the making The finished tube/pipe all polished up with a side piece for the blow off valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 How is the steering setup with the ST141 Corona struts? Did you have any issues with camber etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_FNQ_rolla_ Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I used Otomoto camber top kit (and a coil over kit) and I have no issues with camber what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_FNQ_rolla_ Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) Finished off all of the wiring over the last couple of weeks with the last of it being the wires that run from the battery in the boot. The battery wires are 50mm² which are huge. They run through the car, coming out through the firewall into the engine bay. The list to do is getting smaller and smaller, the next thing to do is the intercooler and piping and the oil cooler.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 50mm is big, I went 35mm on mine. Bigger is definately better in this case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_FNQ_rolla_ Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Even with a trade price that 50mm cable is not cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
