Duffy's 1/71 Series 1 240z build

I love making/ designing parts! I think it’s my favorite part of this strange hobby. 

This is a zero hole in my car EFI FPR mount. Next I will have it cnc cut. This is just 3D printed. Draw, design, test and make. So much fun. 

I really like how simple this radium fuel pressure regulator is. Uses a Bosch top. Very well thought out.

So far all testing fitting is going really well.

Art and function done well . I still admire your skills . It’s hard to watch without being envious of your meticulousness . Fortunately I have a friend with a mill that can make me precision , because I’m more the ‘get er done’ guy .

I sometimes think the meticulous is my actual hobby:)

Old and new playing nicely

Gotta find a place to hide this vac accumulation tank 

[Patcon]

It's a nice looking piece, why hide it?

Well, hide it and mount it cleanly is the plan, down low near the transmission or something?  

[Patcon]

It'll stay cleaner the higher its mounted. Shorter tubing is probably better from a functionality aspect, too

Vac hoses have to be equal length. That’s about it. It’s an odd shape, but I want to use it since it’s cool and vintage.

Next hurdle is a hidden vacuum log for my ITB. My SK one is proving too hard to hide. 
 

My plans for a billet clamp won’t work with the stock hardware. But a simple cushion clamp should do the trick. Next is welding 3x 1/4 hose barbs onto my 5/8 OD aluminum pipe. It’s been threaded to -6 orb on each end. With the plan to use iac at some point.
