Well, i've just spent about 2h reading all the posts and deeply checking each of the pictures and i cant stop from telling you this, sincere apologies if it offends you in any way... you're an ocd psychopath.

I love your work, it's so damn clean and accurate that i literally dont know how to compliment with you lol

Just keep it up, i hope to see it done soon(even if, after seeing you started this thread back in '14, i'm sure it'll take a few years still).

As someone with experience around 300ZX engine bays, I can respect what you are up to- the only Japanese car that rivals the difficulty of repair of one of these is a 3000gt. You're knocking it out of the park, dude; can't wait to see what she looks like running.

Thanks man! It is a bear to work on in stock form but once you remove almost everything its no longer a problem

Much happening in here? I have this thread favourited and decided to come back to see if there was any progress.

I look forward to the next update.

Yes lots to still do but I have unfortunately been busy with my other projects, but hopefully soon I can get some updates rolling in

Current project, I may start a build on this as well

lovely

Much obliged 👍

Lovely indeed. The top of your plenum needs some kind of decoration/ dress up.

I have been thinking about adding a heatsink to the top possibly but I do agree, needs something

every time I check back up on this thread, I'm stunned. The amount of detail that goes into this build is astonishing! keep up the good work, man!

Will do! Thanks

How are the bottoms of those clamps secured on the plenum? Do they just kinda rock back and forth on that frame?

Its kinda hard to see but the clamps are held in place by the spring fastener, the fastener goes through the clamp(the inner part of the clamp is threaded) and contacts the frame, the bottoms also have a channel that a pin slides into( added this later)

Part 2 of fuel and harness mount



Both fuel feed lines run along the plenum on the driver side, due to the throttle linkage being within rubbing distance I wanted to ensure no contact could ever occur. Also the main engine harness runs along with the fuel lines, its a tight fit when all assembled



It starts with a solid chunk of aluminum



Then add some scribe lines





The Bridgeport is such a joy to use



Blast some holes



1 of 6 clamps that hold the fuel lines and engine harness



Spring loaded fastener



The idea here is to hold the fuel line snugly. I know they will expand/contract due to pressure, heat and engine movement relative to the chassis, this will hopefully provide a constant pressure but still allow a little movement



Side note, for cutting aluminum on a band saw I cut pieces of wood to clean the blade after each cut, also wax works great as a lubricant for cutting soft materials such as aluminum





Lines kept separated and held firmly



View of how close everything is



Clamp for the firewall to secure both return and feed fuel lines









Mounts are finished, now to assemble

Good to know. thanks man. how long have you owned the lathe and been using one?

I have personally owned this one for about 4 years now, and have been using lathes for around 9.
