Looks like alot of work. Looking at your bracing, I know the reason why you put it there, but my mind is finding it hard to justify. Is it a secret, or is it more of a "just in case"?


Good luck with the car.

i believe that bracing is there for when he cuts out the firewall.
unless he like looking through metal

Ya the bracing is there because it is surpisingly flimsy one it is all apart. The clip just flopped around. I got braceing on the fenders to support that area from sagging and then across the A-Pillars and Front Strut towers to keep the frame horns from ------ing.

Again I know there is plenty in TO area, but that almost 3 hours away. I don't know of any hatches by me. The Closest RHD is a Teg Type-R in Kitchener, or the guy I know there who has a Skyline. I live in a little hick town of about 4500 people, NO ONE has ever seen a RHD around here!!!

i have to agree that the turbo is too small to make 350hp, maybe 300 if your lucky, anymore than that is pushing it, i ran that turbo on my stock z6 and it spooled at about 4k, with a built engine is going to spool probably about 3500 and fall off a bit top end, you'll want something that spools about 4500-5k if youre going for 350hp

have fun, it's not hard to assemble a motor, I'm the middle of assembling mine right now!

hmm, I've never heard of the bracing thing. Looking at it is seems the A pillars would flex easily with the bracing, and the firewall doesn't interupt the floorpan near the bottom, or the roof tied to the A pillars tied to the fender frames.

I've read alot of write ups about those RHD swaps and I never heard of anyone bracing it. Just wondering if you know it's needed, or you are doing it for the just in case kinda thing.

Re: Got My Work Cut Out For Me. My Build w/pics.
 

I havent heard of brasing ---- either... i didn't brace mine and there wasn't any flexing or anythig like that and everything came togeter just fine, nother got fucked up...

It can't be a bad idea, I was just wondering.
