Sorry for the crappy cellphone pics... Upper plenum is welded on. Just need to close up the bottom, attach the throttle body flange, injector bungs and fuel rail mounts.

nismo300zxjdm · 11-22-2013, 02:10 AM

Here's some progress from tonight... made the angled throttle body neck from a flat piece of aluminum.

All welded up..

nismo300zxjdm · 11-24-2013, 01:40 AM

Moar pics! Throttle body flange and neck welded on. Then made a little PerformanceVH logo and welded that on to the manifold. The throttle body is a 105mm LS7 throttle body. We will not be using this on the Titan. I just installed it for fitment purposes.

nismo300zxjdm · 12-23-2013, 09:32 AM

Nissan Titan manifold all finished up... Now on to my intake!

Hopefully I'll have some good updates on the body work progress over the holidays

nismo300zxjdm · 01-23-2014, 09:14 AM

Here's the VH45 intake manifold I am building for Team Japspeed over in the UK. My intake will probably end up looking very similar to this.

nismo300zxjdm · 01-28-2014, 01:08 PM

Some more progress pics:

Beads are getting nicer and nicer. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE! It's starting to pay off!

nismo300zxjdm · 01-31-2014, 11:41 AM

Just about there.

To Do List:
Weld Injector Bungs
Fuel Rail Mounting
Throttle Cable Mount

nismo300zxjdm · 02-04-2014, 11:19 AM

All done! Shipping out on Friday! I'll put some more pictures up once Japspeed installs it, and gets some dyno numbers!

So excited. Rumor has it that they will be going with a polished finish on the manifold ;)

nismo300zxjdm · 08-07-2014, 03:33 PM

Hey guys! Sorry it's been awhile! Getting married next month, and bought a house back in July. I've been working mainly on the house. The garage will have to wait for a little while.

Updates so far. Body work is coming along, no rush since I'm not ready for it at my new place.

The TBO sideskirts didn't have that great of fitment and needed to be modified for perfect fitment.

Antenna hole welded closed and roughly smoothed over.

Passenger side is all done! Next is the driver side quarter and hatch/spoiler.

nismo300zxjdm · 01-20-2015, 09:58 AM

Okay everyone! The moment I've been waiting for!!! Little teaser shot of the paint.

nismo300zxjdm · 01-20-2015, 09:58 AM

Here's some more updates, the fenders, hood, and sides are in primer. The doors are mounted on the new hinges. Took the front suspension off again to prep and repaint the engine bay. Making good progress now!

nismo300zxjdm · 03-09-2015, 09:42 AM

Quick update:

blue91lx · 03-09-2015, 10:09 AM

Yeah!

nismo300zxjdm · 03-12-2015, 11:07 AM

Updates!

Molded the Winfactory CSL-R spoiler into the hatch. The fitment of the raw piece was incredible, very well worth the money.

The sideskirts and flares have been bonded to the body, the screws are temporary. The TBO side skirts took so much work to fit correctly, the door sizing was way off, one side was too long the other too short. They fit perfectly now. The TwinZ rear bumper has been edged and permanently installed.

nismo300zxjdm · 03-20-2015, 09:39 AM

And so it begins...

nismo300zxjdm · 03-20-2015, 11:13 AM

Completed rear fenders and sideskirts.

95naSTA · 03-22-2015, 12:42 AM

Cool to see progress on this. Nice work.

nismo300zxjdm · 03-23-2015, 12:10 PM

Thanks!

Weekend updates!

Removed the glass from the car, and started making the front splitter/bumper support.

Rough cut of the splitter

Aluminum splitter support brackets that replace factory tow hooks.
