Already looking at oil coolers. So many to choose from i'm thinking a 13 row oil cooler should be sufficient for down here in tassie. Any thoughts?

Cheers for the photos fellas, I have been looking at the $300-$400 aluminium radiators on ebay. Dimitri your setup would work if I get hold of a GReddy manifold. Otherwise I could just buy the 240z aluminium off ebay and change the top inlet. sco_aus I will contact desertcoolers and see what they can offer me. But at the moment I am looking at building my car up with everything for under $20k and I am pretty well on track. I am purchasing 260z standard radiator with the inlet already changed off another forum member, that will keep me out of trouble for the time being. As you can see from pics my current setup has the intercooling piping in the way Pictures below: Excuse that scantly dressed dark man, but that was the only photo I had with my standard radiator installed. "Chickens Mankini Adventures" in action. I will be updating my build diary soon. mrp69 (Peter) drove my new engine down from sydney. 6 work days both running by the end. two engine swaps, rb25 in mine, L28 in peters to get him home. tailshaft shortening painting brake refresh surgetank and pumps etc. etc. details to come.

What radiators are you blokes running in your RB25 conversions. Pictures would be appreciated, along with prices and location of where you purchased it from. Also any modifications you had to make to radiator mount or radiator to fit your particular radiator. Cheers Hunter

NZeder I have noticed you in a few posts on HybridZ with the Speedhut gauges. I have just upgraded my engine to a RB25det. I am looking at getting a full set of Speedhut gauges myself, is this the way you will be going? Also for the smaller in dash gauges are you going 2"5/8th or 2"1/16th. I noticed there is two setups on there one with black bezel rings and one with silver bezel rings. SE PICS BELOW Black Bezel 2"5/8th and Silver Bezel 2"1/16th

come to tassie pete Lizard will shorten them for you lol.

Always wondered what a lap would look like on that track from the car. Brilliant.

willing to sell the Greddy copy plenum seperate?

busy few days ahead

see you when you get here

sorry for the late reply. The tacho started working, but keeps blowing a fuse. I am sure it is a electrical short somewhere.

PM SENT

I am guessing you have already gone through Rosebery?. My loss of license means I will have to wait another two years. lol

I was Flying Finish Post Chief....seen Elf fly past as he finished the Rosebery Stage. Looks good. I am going to get a signed Targa Hat off him and put it in a framewith a picof the car and put it in my new house when I rebuild

I will see what I can get the little bro to do up.

Any comments about the model? Any improvements or things you would like to see? I was thinking of getting the little bro to do different models with flares, ZG Nose, Front spoiler, different original and watanbe mags, to keep the modelling time down on him I will probably get him to stick to reasonably standard mods/factory mods. He said he can also put a picture of the Z432 engine and the standard engine under the bonnet.

Sorry Don't know the number. Darren Elphinstone is the Driver. It is a black 300ZX with orange mags sponsored by 1800 MY FENCE If anyone wants a copy of the model send me a PM I will email it to you. Yes that is me in the videos.

On a more serious note here are some pics of the model my little bro has been working on.

THANKS FOR THE POSITIVE WORDS THESE ARE SOME LINKS OF HOW I PARTY. and Lurch stuff the capitals. lol

Hey All Been a while since my last post, but my house was bunt down by my tenants, broke up with the Mrs, and the Mine shut down so I have no job. that is among 3 other things. 2 lots of 3. Things are on the pick up. Any way my little bro has been working on a 3D model of a 240Z for this site, It can be used to experiment with paint colour, or body modifications. It is not quite right yet and won't be absolutly perfect bur it looks pretty good. I will post the file up for download in this thread when it is availible also with some rendered pics. Cheers Hunter P.S. My old 300ZX DETT that I sold is going be in Targa Tasmania 2009 in the coming weeks.

Ben Ben Ben, I thought you said the zed would be your last project car?

pretty cool P.S. Actual time to make = 1hr (while at work, hiding progress from fellow work mates.)

Very Nice
