Gearbox adapter rocked up today, so I slapped it together. Measured the height the converter needs to be and matches what SDE have on record. Unfortunately he wont get it done till next week so I miss out on roll racing on saturday It's a nice bit of kit from dominator converters. Bolted the box up and had a look what we need to do for mounting it now that it's pushed 20mm further back. Quick design and came up with this. It should allow us to retain the factory auto crossmember. Hopefully my measurements all line up ?? In other news, hypertune said the stuff is almost ready for shipping. Injectors should arrive tomorrow, not that I can put them on yet Also should hear back from the ceramic coater tomorrow as well. Found a driveshaft shop near by so I'm going to also pop in there and see if they can shorten my shaft for me. Then off to engineering shop to see if they can machine the gearbox adapter up for me in a reasonable timeframe.

So I picked up an rb30 bellhousing in the weekend. Unfortunately it didn't bolt up to my existing adapter so I sold the old one and ordered a new one this morning which should get expressed up tonight. Hopefully get it tomorrow and measure the converter height and get that finished off and sent up and also send my tailshaft off to be shortened to suit the new bellhousing. Still waiting on hypertune stuff to arrive. Fingers crossed they pull their finger out and get it up here this week so we can finish her off. Tested the fuel system for leaks, had a couple leaks from the surge tank hardlines. Pulled them off and tighened them up and nothing so far. Will give it a good testing tomorrow arvo and run the pumps for a little bit. Wired up the wideband to the ecu as well, just gotta route the cable out to the can-lambda module in the bay and that's the last bit to go out. Once the intake manifold is on, I might mess around a little bit with the harness and make it neater if we have time. Ordered intake gasket, cas seal and the oil filter housing seal and oring from kudos so should have that wednesday. Should be an interesting week ??

Im using the cams in my new 26 head.

Yeah mate, -10/-12 adapter with -12 pushlock and -10 90*

Not much going on at this point. Pulled hot side out and welded up the mani and sent off for ceramic coating, should be back mid next week. Pulled the motor out yesterday to do the head drain and also fix the heater hoses to the wall then dropped it back in. Everything is getting bolted in now for good. Might head down today and finish welding the exhaust and wire in the wideband and a few other things to get it ready. Little bits and pieces to sort out here and there. Have to mod powersteering pump and bring it forward to suit the rb26 ATi damper and also work something out to bring the powersteering hose straight off the pump to run to the resi in it's new location. Had a couple dramas with the gearbox situation... My new converter has been made but my converter height I need is too small for him to finish it off. So I need to source an rb30 jatco bellhousing which is about 20mm longer than my rb25(?) one and possibly an adapter to suit. Then have to my tailshaft shortened to suit and remount the gearbox. Probably dreaming a bit to get it done by next weekend now... Also still waiting in hypertune stuff to rock up.

Selling my Built supertech solid converted RB25 Head. Just been serviced, had the following work done: Cleaned Skimmed Camshaft tunnel honed 5 angle valve race seat cut Valve stem seals Ontop of that it has: Big port job 1mm valves Bronze valve guides Titanium retainers Clearanced for big cams Has been welded up for 30 bottom Just needs a set of GTR RB26 cams and she's good to go. Came off my RB34 making 697whp Located Virginia North Brisbane QLD Can arrange post at buyers expense.

Exhaust is almost finished! It's currently all tacked together, so tomorrow it will be getting welded up, along with fixing up the screamers. Exhaust turned out awesome. Mate wanted a cannon not an oval muffler so I got a cannon to put on. Surprisingly the 4" system sits up really nicely! It's probably got about 140mm clearance under it. It does have stock suspension though. This weeks game plan is tomorrow pull box off and get measurement for new converter then that is ready, finish welding up exhaust and manifold then prep motor to come out for head drain. Thursday take mani off to get coated, install head drain and plumb to sump. Going to order a spal 16" 3000cfm fan to put on my current rad that will bolt onto the hypertune radiator when I get sround to getting one. Hypertune said they should have stuff to me next week. Next week will be a bit of a push to get it all done rear for roll racing on saturday but we will see how we go.

We'll only be revving it to around 8500rpm, depending if it's still making power or not. I know JEM rev's theirs 9500rpm.

Want to keep the bay as clean as possible and clutter free. Cherrs mate, can't wait to drive it! Went down to the shop and got a bit more done today. Gates are almost complete. Just need to get some more pipe to replace the straight bits and make them a bit longer. Once that's done we'll weld them all up and finish welding everything on the manifold and send it off for coating. Got some billet clamps for the -3 fittings aswell. Looks shit hot compared to a ziptie ?? Also got the 90 welded onto comp cover and hole cut a bit bigger to suit. Gotta wait for hypertune gear to come so we can work out what we need as there will be a clamp going before it 90s down.

Few little small things done today, cleaning lines and double checking over stuff. Surge tank is now 100% put clamps on pumps inside tank and put the oring in. Got my wideband module mounted nice and stealthy location. Next week I've got to pull through 4 wires for it and get my mate to hook it up into the ecu. Pulled my booster off aswell and dropped it down to my painter. Had it back in a couple hours. Flipped it aswell so theres no big dirty hose running across the top. Finished off FPR. Line will get connected once plenum in is. Also threw a hose clamp on the hardline to give it a bit of support off the body. Custom cat got made up today and went and picked that and a few flanges up and got stuck into the exhaust. Dump pipes all welded up now. Jks lol fake cat! We have made up the next little part of the exhaust but unfortunately exhaust shop only got sent the 3 instead of 4 flanges. So monday we'll get the other flange and also the magnaflow muffler.

Finished the turbo drain and coolant hoses today. Come up pretty nicely, ive just gotta get some hose clamps and mount them to the firewall as I've deleted the factory plastic mount. Mate also finished welding up the dump pipe as well. Got a super high flow cat being made up tomorrow and I'll grab a couple flanges and we can keep going with the rest of the exhaust. Plan is to finish the exhaust off and finish welding everything up on the manifold so we can pull the motor out to fit up intake manifold and head drain. Drop motor back in see if it runs and no leaks then fab up intercooler piping which shouldnt be too bad.

Went and got some fittings today to finish off plumbing up my gates and catch can. Here is the final results. Tomorrow I have to get a few more fittings again fml, always forget something. Been down everyday this week so far. I have sorted fittings for coolant/heater path just need to swap the hose end to something bigger as it was too small for the heater hose. And I need to get some more 200series hose and a couple of fittings. That should be everything until we have to plumb up the fuel rail and plenum.

Fuel system is finished now! Except for rail anyway. Got a heap of fittings today to plumb catch can, turbo oil feed and drain, head drain and few other bits and pieces. Oil feed is done, and one side of my can. Gotta go change a couple fittings and ill finish plumbing it all up tomorrow. Also gotta try and work something out for my heater. Not a big fan of those big brass fittings on there atm. Hopefully find something so i can run black fittings on it.

Little bit more done today! Surge tank is all plumbed up ready to go. Not 100% happy with it but it will do. Hopefully nothing leaks! Fuel system is almost all done now bar lines into the rail. Just need to hook up the 2 lines under the car to the hardline and shes good to go and run a braided line from the hardline to the fuel reg. Just need a couple straight fittings. Mounted and wired my boost solenoid as well. Catch can will keep it hidden nicely. Also have to try and mount my link wideband module somewhere in there aswell. Car is slowly coming along. Converter should be ready sometime this week. Ordered Hypertune gear today as well, v2 Intake Manifold with some special colours, and 600x325x100 Intercooler and 4x 3.5" hypertune clamps. Should be ready this week/receive early next week.

Some good progress today! Went down and picked up some fittings for the surge tank so we can finish the boot. The bulkheads are all fitted and ready for hardline to go on. Got one on today that came up ok. Might redo it and just use 90s instead of weird angles. We have also been designing this powersteering bracket for a few weeks doing multiple tweaks on it to get it perfect. Won't be long till its the final result, just have to clean up the 3d printing a bit for a nicer finish and replace the bolts with buttom heads to clear the bonnet. Also got all the pieces together for the dump pipe. Just gotta wait till monday to get a 4" flange and gasket to put in and then we can continue on with the exhaust. Also welded in the wideband bung aswell. I'll probably get around to mounting the can lambda sensor to the firewall as well as the 4port solenoid next week.

Got sum 4" stainless pipe today and started on the dump pipe! We're happy with how it turned out. She's as snug aa they come. We'll be able to get a little bit more done tomorrow i think.

Bit of progress tonight! Got the gates tacked on ready to be welded up. And started sussing out the dump. We've got a rough idea oh how we're going to run it. Should get a fair wack of it done this week.

Not a lot happening lately. Got myself a new car so been enjoying that. Just waiting to recoupe some money so i can get the last bits and pieces to finish her off. Our 4" bends arrived yesterday, so gates will be welded on this week and should hopefully have atleast a dump pipe. Here's a pic of the rig from last weekend up at Double Island.

GReddy sold! Bosch Motorsports 1650cc E85 Stainless Injectors $800

Slowly chipping away at it. Got the hole cut for the cooler piping and cut off the vband on the comp cover. 3.5" piping is going to be a bit of struggle to fit under there as the tyre is fairly close to the guard already when full lock right. We will see tomorrow while the sun is out what exactly we are going to do. We also tacked on the bends to mount the gates onto the manifold. Front one is going to be very tricky but I think we've found the best spot for it. See how we go tomorrow have even have it tacked up.

PM'd

Bit of progress on GOT SUM today Managed to find some Nismo GTR engine mounts cheap so picked them up and put them in. Little bit of modding the brackets to get them to sit flush on the mount but nothing too crazy. 5 mins with the grinder and got it sitting nicely. Cleaned the bonnet by about 5mm, hopefully it doesn't lift too much being the torque side. Might have to put an engine damper on or something if we have issues there. The sump sits pretty low now as well which is a bit of a worry with a fair bit still to go onto it. Might have to get some coilovers to put in there and lift it up a bit so I don't bash it on shit. Mounted the gearbox temporarily as well so we can start fabbing up the exhaust. Just have to order a new vband flange and we can start. It's going to be fun routing the front gate in there as it's very tight next to the compressor cover but we should be able to get it to work. Also almost finished off the hardlines. They're all mounted to the body underneath just need to fix it in the bay and we should be good to go. That will get done this week as well as the surge tank plumbing. It's all slowly coming together, should look pretty cool once it's all done
