This is a great reference thread for anyone looking to do the same thing with all the fittings. Good job :tup:
although it seems to go a while without getting a reply in here after you post, I do read everything that you’re doing. i know sometimes it just seems like you’re talking to yourself as i’ve gone thru the same thing lol.
keep it goin!
Thanks!
It’s just how it goes. Just like myself, people like to read/look @ build threads. No input is really needed. If you were entertained, or learned something from the thread - that’s cool. Glad I was able to help 
Update (pretty pumped about it):
Took the motor off of the stand and mounted the flywheel and the clutch assembly. It was tough to get the flywheel alignment dowels in, so I threw the flywheel in the oven @ 235F and the dowels into the freezer. They went in like butter with a lil bit of grease after that. Finally after that, I reunited the chassis and the motor. It took 4 long years to get to this point. Next up - power steering then fuel delivery.
Onto the pics:
The old back plate was rusty and beat up, so I bought a new one from Nissan.
Had to heat the flywheel to get it onto the crank as well.
SPEC clutch disk, hopefully it will hold.
Pressure plate
And here we are…4 years later! LOL
Checkin hood clearance - not sure if it will clear…
BMC to turbine housing clearance. I’m super glad I got the ChaseBays lines…
The wastegate just cleared with these fittings. I might try something different here.
dude, nice job! that’s gotta feel GOOD.
Looks great :tup:
Thanks dudes! Hell yea, it feels like…motivation lol
So what now? Some plumbing, wiring, and tuning? It looks great man and I love seeing this thread bumped up.
:tup:
Thank you!
Yup! I still need to drop the rear sub-frame and replace the old & rotted bushings and install the VLSD. After that’s in, I will need a one-piece drive shaft made. Any suggestions? I wanted to get it done locally. Not sure who to go to…
Check 96V6Bird’s thread, I think he had to get some drive shaft work done for his E39. He may have gone to Fleet Pride?
Checkin’ it out right meow.
Man all that work and you aren’t going to a 350z 6 speed? I’m surprised.
two words: MazWorx and 300ZX, capish? 
But that’s after I blow up the two KA transmissions I have.
Small update:
Ordered a few small items:
I’d like to fire her up at least once with all of the necessary components 1st, before throwing the rest of the parts on. I need to drop off the fuel rail @ my friends to get powder coated. I’ll mock up the fuel lines after that. The power steering shit can wait. Today’s goal is to get the transmission installed. It needs to happen before I attempt to mock up the intercooler piping and exhaust. The motor rocks back and forth too much on it’s mounts without the transmission in there and could cause issues when its time to tighten shit down.
Capish, HAHA.
350z trans is stronger and the same price (for the trans) and requires less bull shit.

I’ll look into this later tonight. It would be nifty to have a 6speed KA.
you have great taste 
and the patience of a buddhist monk.
hahaha thank you!
small update:
SICKSPEED TB was not a direct bolt-on. I could’ve modified it to fit but opted out of the decision and sent it back for a refund. I’m just going to snag a new OEM one. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been slacking again. The beer, friends and nice weather make me not want to stay in the garage. I’ve also been playing around with my RC toys. But, I finally did get to drop the rear subframe with some friends. Now I need to clean it up, maybe paint it (most likely haha) and try to score some tubed arms from GodSpeed.

Check out Bing’s stuff for any suspension pieces :tup: bings.ca
Bings.ca isn’t up at the moment. It’s on an old hosting service and should be moved to the same host as NYSpeed soon. Bing can be reached via PM here though.
