Thanks guys for the comments!

Fuel system and its wiring pretty much done. And it was shocking to see how much wirings we able to get rick off from the old alarm system.



Fuel sender in and wired up.



Relays



Radiator support bars chopped
Intercooler end pipes chopped ready for new piping
New lowered power steering bracket made and currently sent of with the alternator etc to get sand blastered.

subscribed. good to see someone building a legit circuit car instead of the run-of-a-mill drift car....and your attention to detail is staggering. GL w/ the build, can't wait to see it finished.

I was wonder what work you have actually done? Seems like most of it is sent out. Half the cost of your build is going be labor. What is the purpose of the build for a personal time attack car or street car. ? I am excited to see some numbers to compare how the vet will affect it. I am doing a twin scroll 30r .82 on a 2.2 so we will see how power shifts and comes on different.

If I could afford to have some one do it and do it good then I'd do the same. But that's just me I prefer driving it and having no issues.

Well Peak power and torque won't be anything magical since I'm only using a small twinscroll 3076 but I'm very interested to see the " area under the curve".
Bare in mind that every builds is different, but it's roughly cost me ~30k so far.

As a matter of fact the labor is nothing since Taark enjoy working on the car plus getting the exposure for his business (Genuine Nissan Parts! + NISMO Parts! - Hardtuned.net). Sure, make sure you check back with me in regards to your build.

Lol more like clueless.
But seriously at the present time there are not many workshops or ppl that know what to do with a VET since there are alot of custom part involved.

So abit more done.


Taark start with cleaning up the wiring



In the process of moving the relay box, we decided to move the head light wirings, thermo fans etc to the front along the chasis rail and the rest will go back into the cabin. So no more exposed wire along the guard rail.







New I/C elbow welded, powder coated brackets



An fitting for power steering



Lowered bracket for the power steering pump



Earl heat shielding for the turbo lines



New position for the -8 line into the surge tank since the surge tank come with -6




And as it seat

I like the attention to detail with AN fittings, parts and of course the motor. One question I have it why you didn't go with a Fuel Safe or ATL fuel cell setup? It seems no expense was spared on the other items, just wondering why you didn't opt for a bladder type cell.

Car is looking good. I hope you also have a video once she is tuned. I bet the motor will sound glorious!

Thanks mate, in regards to your question.
The car is not really a full on race car just yet, so we didn't see the need with a proper fuel cell since the one we got can do the job just as fine.

Presently I just want to finish with the mechanical side of the car and run it as is. And if time and funds permit then I should have the car on it final stage prior to 2013 WTAC..but we'll see how that go.
