Man you know what I did have that info cause Russell told me but I can not fuckn remember.. Okay I will have that info for tomorrow.. Also thanks for the kind words..

SIZE="3"]STAGE 4: Phase 3 '"Cage work and a little tube chassis work"' [/SIZE]

Okay it is that time again folks. Let's start it off right with some damn good beer. Beer of choice is Maui Brewing Co. 'CoCoNut Porter,' and damn this is a really good beer, brewed with 6 varieties of malted barley, hops and hand-toasted coconut. Def a good beer..

BAM!!!! look at my new jungle gym... Russell has out done himself with this cage and I just love it..

Have to have some good door bars, cause you never know what can happen..

Since I have these door bars, you can say good by to my door panels.. Going to replace with some Carbon Fiber love.

Love it..

The view from the back is what got me. It just looks so intense:JAMIN:

Damn sexy!!

Russell really has done a good job with this cage and front tube chassis I would recommend him any day of the week..

Next on the cage is pretty much doing the base plates and the front part but looks good now...

Damn that is money!!!!

I was really glad that the door bars came out good. Was scared my big *** would not fit... but its all good..

Looking good

plenty of room...

Back to the front,, looks good all put together. This is not my hood but pretty close to hit, I will have the 07 TS hood in its place.. but looks good so far..

Close up of the Ducting that Russell did, looks clean.. Now should I keep that ducting Silver or paint it??

Close up of the bumper brackets,, Look at that sexy weld...

Welded up my other -20AN fitting

Clearance looks good..

Clearance looks spot on.. this is where my PS cooler is going to go..

Looking good, we still have to do the Plywood splitter so it will look pretty good with that installed.. Can't wait

Before I left I spotted this big *** turbo in a Civic pushing somewhere around 1000HP+ so crazy..

Also found Russell WRX on the dyno getting ready for this weekend Lone Star Drift series.. **** is a monster...

If you guys would like work done by Russell hit him up on his fabricated Facebook Page: HERE

Next I will have some totals up, cause some parts have come in.

NEXT WEEK: STAGE 4: Phase 4 '"Cage work and some part love"'

Corbic · 10-16-2011, 08:29 PM

It just keeps getting better and better!

Royal_T · 10-16-2011, 10:14 PM

Thanks bro

sexcii-zenki · 10-16-2011, 10:16 PM

i luv the detailed build...keep it up

MeSs · 10-17-2011, 06:11 AM

A so good build deserves a better bent cage i think.. The main hoop is far from the roof, the same with the a pillar tubes.. But the rest look TOP notch, just like the rest of the build.. Lovin it

http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/q..._album/226.jpg

Edit.. Sorry, it may be the picture that makes it look like it, when i look at the other pics

Keep up the good work, one of the best threads on zilvia. Quality!

irritatedmax · 10-17-2011, 06:30 AM

He said it still needs base plates so the height may change a bit? And if it's too close, you can't weld all the way around it. It looks like a good happy balance to me.

thenooblet · 10-17-2011, 06:48 AM

Nice cage brah. Makes me wish I wasn't broke..

Yea you are correct, once the base plates are complete it will be hella tight in there. and the sides will also be welded to the pillars.. I will have pics of this next week..

Thanks guys for the kind words..

tricky_ab · 10-17-2011, 11:10 AM

Man, those welds...Sooo good! That cage looks great

zaquanh · 10-17-2011, 12:06 PM

Royal_T · 10-24-2011, 09:58 AM

STAGE 4: Phase 4 '"Cage work and some part love"'

Beer of choice this week is Stone Brewery: 'Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale'. I personally love almost anything from Stone Brewery so kind of bias when it comes to them.. But this beer is really good, has a strong bitter taste, so be prepared.

So I got some new stuff the other day that I am really stoked about. First is this sexy *** ASD Hydo E-Brake that I am going to be using. ASD attention to detail is just on another level in my opinion.

I mean just look at the handle itself, Man so sick

Comes with fittings already installed just need to run lines, which is perfect timing cause we are redoing all my brake lines..

Next was my power steering cooler. I did not need nothing big cause the KRC pump really does a good job. So this would work perfect.

Also got it with the fittings so I could run all my AN lines to it.

Next up is my sick custom built Radiator from Ron Davis Radiators.. When i came by he already had it installed so I could not get any out of the car shots..

Ron Davis makes some sick radiators, you can get a custom built one or one that is already made for your application. I went with the custom route.

Double pass radiator with custom -20AN fittings. Oh yea!!

No fill cap

Built in Oil Cooler. This radiator is 3 inches thick,, looks huge...

I think it fits so nicely in there with a little kick slant to it...lol

Now I am trying to figure out how I am going to run my Intake. I could run it straight like most Vetts run theirs or. Run it to the side and down like a cold air setup.. Thoughts?

Going to run it to this custom tank we are Fabing up.. All Coolant lines are going here..

Looks so clean peaking thought the headlight whole..

Okay let's raise this car up to see how it looks from underneath.. My car looks so sad in its stock form, can't wait to finish her up..

Fits like a glove.. Man this thing is going to get some nice direct air flow.. So stoked

Nice to see something there instead of just air...lol

Now I just have to get some nice Spal 12" fans and I think I will be set...

I think once I paint the bay and tube chassis I will just polish this up and leave it silver... Thoughts?

Okay now for the prices..

ASD Universal Hydraulic E-Brake (16" Pull-Back): $179.00

Power Steering Cooler: $29.00

Ron Davis Custom Radiator: $800.00

Total price so far: $10,097.16

NEXT WEEK: STAGE 4: Phase 5 '"Cage work and Hydo mount"'

blueshark123 · 10-24-2011, 10:12 AM

I think i saw somewhere that the most efficient way to run the intake setup is if you run it straight like the corvette setups since you dont have any sharp degrees in the piping

See this is why I am thinking about doing a Ram air setup. There is a perfect spot right above the Rad,, I could just cut a hole on the bumper and BAM!!

InfraRed407 · 10-24-2011, 10:45 AM

Car is looking crazy man. Would love to shoot it if you bring it up to Dallas after it's done!

Crondy · 10-24-2011, 10:51 AM

run it straight up through the hood! hahaha. what color are you painting the bay and body? keeping the white?

if you're keeping the white, go black with black radiator and other accents

epic time is being put into this, definitely shines.

yomisiu · 10-24-2011, 10:53 AM

so fkn awesome

haha don't know about that one..

As for the color.. I am painting the Bay,Tube Chassis and Cage a Hot Rods Flatz Champagne Gold. And wrapping the car in a Matte White.. Going to have black AN hoses running all round this thing..lol

NissanJunki · 10-24-2011, 11:20 AM

Im speechless, its coming along AMAZINGLY!!
Makes me even more anxious knowing that you already have all this done in advance, just the fact that you have us all drooling over your build awaiting the next update lol
Either way good stuff!!! keep up the good work

tricky_ab · 10-24-2011, 11:23 AM

Hyped to hear that the interior is going back in

I should be working, but I was going through your thread again...

Well thanks bro,, but sad to say that this build thread is catching up with me now.. which sucks but the car has taken longer at the shop then I thought. Oh well I promise to keep you guys entertained

Yup bro there is no other way but to have the interior back in.. But the rear hatch part will be gutted.. And I can't keep my door panels so getting CF ones instead.. Have to keep it classy.. And you don't need to work...LOL

onehundredoctane · 10-24-2011, 11:59 AM

I'm anxious to see the grand total when you're done and see what a comparable car for the cost will be. Then see a head to head shootout.

The funny thing if you add the price of the Z to the total it would prb be at the same price of a Z06.. So yeah would love a shootout...lol

Crondy · 10-24-2011, 01:32 PM

i had to lol. someone can fix it and take it if they want, just felt like making one.

thenooblet · 10-24-2011, 03:24 PM

What is the reasoning for the leaning/tilted radiator? Pardon my ignorance.
