very nice build...

Are you fabbing any sort of subframe supporting to limit unibody twist?

OK so I got around to installing and plumbing my oil and PS coolers. I ran some thick foam tape on the bottom or the rad support and used the tops of the Earls cooler brackets along with some threaded rod.








For the steering rack I used the Fueled Racing fittings and XRP AN #6 straight and AN #30 deg fittings. It's a tight fit how I ran it but it worked.



I also mocked up my intake, hope the hood shuts.

I was able to find some time and hook up my front brakes. Wilwood Superlights and (350Z Track) rotors:

Here are some pics:





I also had time and a little help to install the rear suspension and 300ZX rear brakes. Yes I know I need to paint the rear calipers.

Chris did those calipers you had end up working? Or did you have to return them and get something else?
