and scored myself a jzz30 ali radiator. just gotta mod the rad support to fit it up. hopefully i can just use stock jzz/uzz rad hoses now.

been a while. been chipping away at it. for those that have built cars to this extent will know its all the small things that take up your time and money.

 

so got the roof and floor finished off with the ping jing and acoustic liner. no photo of the floor as its filthy and needs a vacuum lol

been toying with fitment of radiator support and the massive soarer radiator. We have top and bottom hoses sorted out now too

mock up of the fender.. v8 was looking quite large in there before. once a guard goes on it looks small again. haha

Here mocking up placement of the stock AFM and filter box for that OEM look.

Mate has been getting stuck into the loom (which is good) as exhaust is done and fuel system is very close aswell.

Onto the ZORST!

went with stainless. Twin 2" as the log manifolds end that size. into a single 2.5" wanted to do twin system but there is just a distinct lack if space.

Cat converter. stainless 2.5" in/out 200cell

Few more exhaust pics. Clearances are all nice and tight and the the exhaust hardly moves with the hangers.

Still have to weld it more on the car. then dismantle.. finish welding. Paint flanges and collector and the hotdog. refit.

No it doesnt!!

You sure? They will suck air through nearly all the radiator when they come on (hardly ever!), and a shroud will only ruin the airflow when you're driving.

 

My miserable 4K runs a single electric with no shroud, and I can't ever think of a time it has come on. The nearest would be getting interrupted on a 100kph trip to sit at roadworks waiting for those fking abysmal temporary traffic lights!!! It gets up to halfway after a couple of minutes but doesn't get the fan on.

Fair enough- because mine doesn't come on I"m always worrying about whether the sensor has packed up or the relay broken.. Do you reckon you'll run twin sensors & relays, one to each fan for when something breaks??

 

There's nothing more exciting than sitting in a queue of traffic at the lights wondering "will the fan come on?" "I'm sure it should be on by now.." What if it blows a head gasket just sitting here..."

  • 1 month later...

so still been working on it. had nearly 3 weeks where i didnt though. Running my own business and trying to build this car has taken its toll. Work got absolutely spastic and well really i can't say no to the work.

Back at it now.

 

So Parcel shelf deadened.

20151018_111554.jpg

 

under the fuel tank and sections of the tank deadened

20151018_111541.jpg

tank pickup also modified to allow wiring through

 

Current state of the motor

20151018_111523.jpg

 

wiring.. ergh

20151018_111530.jpg

got one of these on the way to me

received_10206683013785377.jpeg

pretty stoked in finding one.

 

My rear power panel. Earth bar. Power bar. Quick release battery terminals

Once i make a decent battery tray it'll all be mounted nicely and covered by a fascia trim.

20151018_111547.jpg

 

Also have run 6ch of RCA leads. Electric window wiring Speaker cables.

My central locking should arrive soon so i can run them as well. Trying to forward plan as much as possible.

 

So for power windows i decided to go with a universal kit. These cars had the option but the regs will be 40 years old and possibly unreliable. And hard to find.

its fairly neat and the switches cover the winder hole quite nicely.
