Senza pari 280z build

[martinm13]

Table is beautiful, what do the legs look like for it? It would look sick on a base made from thick box tube steel with sintered iron casters and then coat the steel in linseed oil

Thanks! It is turning out pretty sharply...
The legs, if you can call them that, will be made from 2" square stainless tubing, cut and welded to make two 28" x 28" square frames which will be set at each end. They will have a brushed finish.

An intake design such as this, using the stock runners cut down (or new ones) would be simple enough to do, but has been done before... doesn't really blow me away. And the more I think about it, I'm thinking I want something coming through the hood... to keep in theme with the rest of the wildness that will be going on. So, we'll see.
The manifold modeled below uses two Q45 throttle bodies.

This is more like it.

loving what I see so far

Out in the light, sealed and oiled up. The color isn't reddish at all, just goofy camera settings.

This will be done tomorrow, and then I can get back onto the things that really matter... like the Z.

cool table. For the intake, how about something sort of mid-way between the two options? the reason i say is, since this build is somewhat very "hard-core", if you build the engine for form-follows-function and since you're not worried about packaging it under the bonnet, the intake runners would ideally be straight, and therefore form a "v"? therefore if you line up your plenums with those, then they will also be at an angle too. I think it'd look rad, and be different from the two "common" setups you've so far modelled. Just my 2c

I've thought of that, but my only concern would be the lack of visability with the intake's leaning at a 45. The driver's side plenum starts to creep over into the direct line of sight, which isn't a good thing. Maybe I'm just bieng a baby...

Now for some photos, the reason people come on this site...

Here is the table finished up. Again, the legs are 2" square stainless tubing. The welds are smoothed and has a brushed finish.

And now that the table is done I can start getting back to more important things. Here is the new manifold that will be going on the Forester. The rest of the exhaust and custom mufflers will follow shortly behind...

Damn...That is some beautiful pluming

[TeckniX]

crzy intake?

nah.. that's just too much.

Here's some info on how greddy did theirs:

http://www.importtuner.com/tech/impp_1208_greddy_rx35_intake_manifold_billet_throttle_bodies/

Table looks good though, how did you mount it underneath and how do you prevent the sway from side to side on the legs if you push either way -> TT <-

Also I **** that you can do all your cut so precise and clean. But glad to see the forester getting back out there

I like that... haven't come across that one yet, thanks for sharing!

As for the table legs, there are 4 gusseted flanges on the top corners which extend out 5" from either side of the leg. Each flange has 3 screws per, a total of 12 per leg across a 12" mouting surface, it's actually extemely rigid. I was very suprised how solid it was when I set it in place for the first time.

You don't need that maniford for the Forester, just finish it off for my STI.. Just kidding man, that is a work of art. I wish I had the time to learn that.

[Raarasutra]

Oh my.... This is when welding becomes an art

I love the table, I don't love that this car is not done. Just finish it before you die, or I die, and then the world will be complete.
