very interesting build mate, between this and the cosworth build i will be taking notes to help when i start my sr20det 4wd build.... keep us updated on your progress...

All ways remember your only as good as your tools lol, I used to repair cranes (hiabs) so I needed strong tools and life time warranty helps too. The hoses are better quality than I thought so extra bonus, cheap, quality, and say my name. Can't go wrong

Top work as always.

Are you planning to use the heater matrix piping from the engine? If you arent may I suggest that you delete the heater matrix piping. Below are links to what I did with mine - it might help you out as with the rad being so far away you need all the pump pressure you can get.

Good work there peaty, keep it up.
Just out of curiosity more than anything but how far back are you going to be seated with that floor mounted pedal box?
