Are you getting a pillar rice pod?

[hammtheman]

No three of em are going into the middle vent in the dash, the other three are going into a custom radio delete panel with all the switches

[hammtheman]

[hammtheman]

got this picture from z31 today. its my living room filled with boxes of parts lol. im flying in tomorrow so this will pick back up with updates

[Shipman]

Its like christmas!

[hammtheman]

so i just got home from Miami yesterday. didnt really have a whole lot of time to work on the car but i got some stuff done. i un-boxed everything and combined it as to what parts went together since summit cant ship the whole order as one.


big fmic


new shifter bracket and new mazworks short shifter.


replaced the steering column bushing with a new solid aluminum piece


slightly retarded seats, apparently sparco changed colors of the seats to a lighter shade of blue. i bought new inserts since they were wore out and i didnt get the bottoms

[hammtheman]

i was able to work on the car a little bit today. got the rear subframe solid bushings in after about a 2 hour ice bath to shink em down, cut up my stock sliders and tacked on my side mounts, and got the gas tank ready for the sump to be welded on. phone died so i couldnt take any pictures....

[hammtheman]

just dropped off my tank at rubright racing in limerick to get the sump welded on. hoping to have some progress pictures Saturday.

[hammtheman]

welded the fittings shut on the rack..no going back now


rebuilt it and packed it with grease..



installed the subframe and full rear suspension



sat the rear down on the tire, couldnt set the front due to incorrect back spacing and lack of passenger front hub






tore apart my diff and installed the S15 HLSD in. just need to have a few things checked by rt on the bearings and she will be good to go


old


pinion


HLSD with old ring gear installed




all done


custom seat mounts



plugged last of the holes

[hammtheman]

just picked this bad boy up today. just need to undercoat it and put it back in the car...

[98ludeMC]

looks great Hamm. Mad props for all the work your doing on your own.

Is that the Xcessive solid shifter mount? How far front does that move the shifter approx. Hopefully I can use the same on my VH swap. I pushed the engine back 1-1/4"... Looks like it moves it forward more than that :/

[hammtheman]

it is actually a mckinney shifter mount. its meant the the vh swap into 240s but i still have the cut my shifter location due to it being on an rb which moves the trans back like 2-3"

[nismo300zxjdm]

Good stuff, I'll probably get a short one and just extend it the distance I need.

[hammtheman]

sanded


prepped


primer


satin base



doors prepped for bondo


put this in and realized i dont fit....this is my first cage so im learning a few things real quick lol.


im gonna cut at the main hoop and at the diagonal brace.


then weld in this piece over i shorten in up so i can move my seat back like a foot. im hind sight i should have had the seats and dash in it when i did the cage but i didnt. you live and learn. i also have to move the door bars now but thats a simple fix.


also got this today from a good friend. just shipped it out to be rebuilt.



did this today at work. thought you would enjoy some pics

[Erik@R/TTuning]

Making great progress on that chassis Mike.

[hammtheman]

thanks eric. you got me excited i was hoping for some new motor pics lol

just got these new shiny parts in today. it was like Christmas...

grip royal wheel with circuit sport short hub


isis manifold since my original manifold was total garbage


clutch masters twin disk



just dropped off the manifold and the valve covers at the powder coaters

[hammtheman]

got a bunch of stuff done today thanks to some of my buddies

started working on my switch/gauge panel for the dash


cut the harness bar and door bar, i got about 2 inches to move the seat back. i may tilt the seat forward a bit to give me a lil more leg room




mounted the tank with sump



i cut the front bumper for the front mount. this is just a fitment bumper so i know it looks like ****. i plan on running a front lip to tie the two ends together



and i got these pictures from the powder coater today. nice and shiny








and of course a working shot from tonight

[hammtheman]

been looking into a line lock to help me do a big burnout when i stage. trying to figure out if i wanna run dual solenoids because of the fact the stock master cylinder runs an independent line for each brake caliper. im gonna have to bend all new brake lines anyway because of placement of the solenoids...which i have no idea where to put them. im kinda dependent on the motor being in so i can place a bunch of ****, like the fpr, catch can, running of the intercooler pipes. kinda sucks but guess thats how it goes....

[hammtheman]

fixed the cage...







battery mount and location



got everything with the rear suspension done. installed the rear sway and lateral stops for the sway



found these bad boys at work. gonna use them on my fuel lines too, just a lil bigger


started mocking up my front mount





im gonna use 2x2x1/4 angle and weld it to the crash beam with a full pass top and bottom.
