It's as high as i can get it because it is hidden halfway under the front support and would normally foul the bonnet release.

so I adjusted the mechanism to suit. (yes i used my little spot welder - i luv it!)- see below:

and the hose size is just slightly bigger than the CA about 2 mm

Great progress there...I thought you'd installed an intercooler for a minute when I first saw your 'bling'
radiator. Another problem solved. So when do you reckon you'll be kicking her over for the first time?

Will you be able to fit thermo fans between engine n radiator? See tight? Your gonna need a shroud n x2 10 inch or x2 12 inch fans, mine has very little room on a sr20 radiator with a shroud n x2 12 inch fans

And rx2 rads are usually 3 cores

IT LIVES !!!!!

Resisted the urge to start the engine till today,
Filled the radiator (it's all good)
Failed to get the windscreen wipers to work ( traced all the wires, checked the switch, even borrowed another wiper amp off tommo and we compared with his Silvia)

Couldn't take it for a spin around the paddock though - no tailshaft yet

Here's a question ... Has anyone ever tried wiring up a 1200 wiper to a Silvia loom?? I get the feeling I am doing everything the opposite way around.

Oh and as for room between the radiator and the motor - I have a whole 65 mm of clear space - I am with the Idea of two 10 or 12 inch fans

sweet any more electrical bugs?
did u sort out wipers?
so she runs
demac's s13 loom conversions??lol
good to see

Congrats on the start up hope she runs good, I'm at the same step as u trying to figure out how to start it up.. I got the starter n alternator wired n it cranks over but carnt get spark yet, gotta sort out how to power my ecu n engine harness

How did u power the ecu n harness?
Pics please :p

the ECU's (Engine and Auto) both powered from the ENTIRE silvia loom which replaced the 1200 loom

now i have a few electrical issues to sort out - one of the times I started it the speedo also read 60km/h

pics later

Sounds like supafatto, his speedo says 60kmh and hus cars not moving either, but it's accompanied by lots smoke which thankfully yours doesn't

It runs and most elecs work, it's going to be something with the auto. Was it in d? If so no tail shaft sure it wasn't thinking it was 60kmh? Indicates an auto speed sensor to me. I'm no expert just throwing out ideas

It's intermittent - even better! An electrical problem that is not consistent .... sigh

this wiper motor has got me scratching Silvia wiring and 1200 wiper motor ....... back to the electrical diagrams

Not much done (surround on the steering column and mounted the hazard/auto switches), thought I would post some pics.

Oh, and there's no illumination on the dash when i turn the parkers on .... another sigh
