Hey, love the build. I have a question on the oil cooler though. I have a v36 g35x, and was wonfering about your stock setup. The HR's have a coolant line running into a sandwich adapter. I assume its the same with the v35. the question is: did you just removed that collar and replace it with the greddy thermo adapter using the stock bolt? Clean build man. nice car! that paint is just great.
Thanks man! Yea, with any oil sandwich plate, you just attach where oil filter goes. See this vid for reference:
Same here, keep us posted how the T case holds up. It's why I'm no longer AWD. They're cheap though.
I'll keep an eye and ear on my transfer case as I lay power down. If I could figure out a way to squeeze a GTR transmission in for cheap, that would be the day.
Nice build!! Any updates on the non factory front cv boots??
No updates yet. I ended up buying 2 used axles to replace and raised the front an inch for now. I measured the inner axle boot though. 1" small side and 4" large side.

lol, this is the same thing I did. After blowing through axle boots and having to rebuild my passenger twice I just raised the car. I couldn't deal with it anymore
They were sent to TrueChoice to be built for performance. Front shocks are 16-way adjustable in dampening. I still have these in storage if anyone is interested in buying. Make an offer, and maybe they'll be in your hands.

Now that the motor is built and put together, it's time to make the kit fit. Since the AWD motor mounts sit higher and the oil pan is different...I'm forced to 'do more work'. Charge pipes will be custom fabricated to fit to couplings, custom fab'd up oil return line to pan, relocating wastegates, and custom downpipes to true dual 3" exhaust with quad titanium tips. I found a shop that says they're capable and with reasonable prices, unless one of you guys know a good shop I can trust in SoCal for me to get this all done. Also I need a shop to install my gauges + Apex'i AVC-R boost controller.
I'm painting valve covers this weekend and ordering the last few parts needed.
After she's running, it'll be tune, break-in period, and engine bay cleanup (SS braided lines, wire tuck, respray bay gloss black or starfire pearl white.
Here's a few pics from my phone. I took more with my DSLR. stay tuned...

As you can see...motor mounts block straight entry to turbos...so I have to make a 45* angle coupling to custom charge pipe on both sides.

Added red lipstick for her lip. :P

I've been asked a few times about what kind of bike I have, so here it is. I used to be into roadbiking with my Cervelo, but now I'm on that fixed gear life. If anyone in Socal rides, I bike from Newport to LB or FV to Irvine once in a while.
It's a custom built fixed gear, based on the UNKNOWN PSX frame with Carbon Fiber fork on Corima wheels. Everything else was hand picked to my liking. Carbon headset, Origin8 crank, Origin8 drop bars, Cinelli grip tape, Gold rear brakes, Dual CREE LED headlamps, etc.
