I love this build. im glad i came across it. keep it up.

I really need to pick up a lathe, but i dont even know where to begin looking on top of i have zero experience and yet again wouldnt even now where to begin how to learn.

Youtube is your friend, specifically the youtube channel Mrpete222. Awesome channel highly recomend watching all of his how to videos very informative.(also watch the "how to buy a lathe" videos)

It took some time to find one but I actually bought my Clausing 5914 lathe because thats what he used in most of his videos.

love your work! I'm glad someone who knows what there doing is putting attention into a 300zx, I love the cars but for the most part, nice builds using this platform are few and far between.

So much work to hold a harness that can be run next to the injector bungs

Yes everything is a lot of work, but this is not just for the harness, I have both fuel feed and return lines running along the plenum as well. Also my throttle linkage is quite close to both the harness and fuel lines, not something I care to chance getting stuck in the throttle linkage or worse yet rubbing on something and causing all sorts of intermittent issues. Next update will make this more clear once its all complete.

Today's post is full of spinning metal at a high rate of speed!. Also this will be part 1 of 2, took way more pictures than I realized



Using v blocks to machine a face on the aluminum bar



V blocks are almost a necessity when milling round materials



I made 2 of these, this one will be welded to the underside of the plenum eventually





This is the second one





Made a plug anchor



Plug anchor is inserted into plenum bolt holes



Machining a hole and facing the hole for the plug anchor










Bent 2 of these 1/4" stainless bars for the fuel line/engine harness to mount to



They run the length of the plenum





Threading the ends of both stainless rods





Aluminum sleeve threads onto the rod end





Faced sleeve and drilled hole for 12 point fastener





Its like a little exoskeleton



Contoured end for maximum ocd effect





I have incorporated a service mode that will allow ample room and doesn't require any fasteners to be removed just loosened



But ya this is just the build of the main frame that will hold my fuel lines and engine harness, I will continue the actual mounting system in an upcoming update



Finally painted the headlight housings Black!!



Had a few completely valid comments on the headlights looking better black, I can assure you I didn't like them as well so I buckled down and went through the joy of separating the headlight assembly and repainting them, came out nice

I don't know how you're so modest with this much skill up your sleeve, either way it's admirable man! Keep up the good work this car is tits

Did you buck those rivets or just squeeze them? Either way I like how it's turning out.

Just bucked them with the pneumatic hammer

I have been waiting for ages for someone to say what those rivet clamp things are. thank you

glad I could help! highly recommend them

Now for the interior, specifically the center dash



Egt readout



Interior is going to be simple, nothing but the essentials





nice and snug





Oh yes, there will be rivets



Rivet fans are invaluable for layout



The amazing Clecos make a return





The ubiquitous dimple dies









Ya suede and rivets go together









The three extra holes will eventually be utilized for a switch bulkhead





There will be more to this piece when I acquire the other components

Sometimes with all the fab work that goes into this thread I forget that there is an actual car all this is going on. Then we get a full shot and ...
