    Working on inner guard removal, removing shit, finding all my dodgy shit everywhere. Would love to re-use my old intercooler, how much power you reckon it'd handle at 600x280x76mm. I will try and straighten the fins. Check out the bent all thread and splitter brackets, car has eaten some ripple strips lol Bonus pics of old Bunnings "intake" and my dodgy R33 plumb back setup brah

    Farken driveway maintenance FMD... 8-900 meters of it here and in some places it's 15-20deg Oh and I've just noticed a few thistles sprouting...

    From my personal experience, the Nismo engine and box mounts are definitely stiffer, not ridiculous but noticeable none the less. The box mount improved shifter feel in the 34 to me, I guess by taking some vibrations out.

    Tyre and caliper choices meant a 17 would be a struggle.

    18x10 +0 with some Porsche slicks to start

    You'll make more power than I did so thicker wont hurt, we only ran 380rwkw through mine. It was more that the inlet temps dropped (vs stock core) and we could hit 4-5 times on the dyno before we were seeing even a tiny bit of heat sock. That was spinning 2x -9s reasonably firmly, a big single will be far more efficient too.

    I am seeing those Artec's everywhere currently, what's the hype about those? Some spicy updates, I ran the 76mm pro series in the 34 and the tuner was impressed with it. Why reverse rotation? For outlet direction/packaging? I don't know much about reverse rotation turbos.

    Prior learning allowed me to bash out the 2nd tub start to finish in 1 shed shesh. Now comes the real scary part of cutting/fitting to the car 0_0

    Yeah a concreter will help hey!

    Progress, 1 down 1 to go. Am happy with the choice to weld the back side of the guard panel, looks fine on the side you will see imo and would've been a pain to clean up nicely. May put a bead of seam sealer down it yet "just incase". Opted to clean up the up the join to the piece that runs down to the chassis rail, closest to the engine, that will catch the eye and added a bit of strength back into the back of the join just in case given how much I took it back.

    Bummer about the head How's the shed progress?

    Couple bucks of bunnings finest rubber feet and the tool cupboard fits in nicely. Tub work has begun in earnest, spent time stuffing around with off cuts to find some settings that worked as I was paranoid about blowing holes in and warping the pieces. The tutorial from ATP shows it being TIG'd, but MIG it is. It also mentions stitch welding, but I wasn't confident I could control the heat well enough so opted to tack it to death and I actually think it looks alright all things considered. This is the bay side so easy to get to for clean up, the guard side I'll come at from behind to avoid needing to try and do any cleanup in those tight spaces, this was a recommendation by a few people who had done this kit. I also talking to a mate of mine who does fab/panel work etc and he suggested I should order some weld spot drill bits and attempt to remove the factory panels that way vs just marking and cutting it all out with the grinder, reckons it will make future repairs a heap easier and allow some natural flex in the area if it's plug welded instead. In my head it makes sense to be as rigid as possible, but the idea of having to cut the entire tub out vs drill out a few spot welds later if I bin it makes a lot of sense.

    Brace yourselves, shitty welds are coming... Dunno how nice this will look with a mig, but do I wanna drop serious coin on a TIG and learn on something so visual in the bay...

    Or it's to help ease the pain of the bill when it comes? 🤣

    Bad news, the block "failed" ultrasonic testing, just a bit too thin in some spots for the power goal/usage. Good news, Dale has spare blocks left over from when he had the Super GT car, so we'll be swapping to one of those instead that measures thicker. Glad it was checked and today I learned you can use 4 seasons lube with these 😅
  16. No Crust Racing
    Voila! It's done, just gotta grab some basic feet for it to give me the 1-2mm needed to clear my tool cupboard so it can go under there also. Oh, and longer bolts for the vice. Dale also tells me he's ultrasonic bore testing my block today, see how we go - spare on hand if needed.

    All those fiddly bits add up quick hey 😕

    Fab on the fab bench is done, just as I emptied the bottle. Used the piece I cut out from the front to make some supports, used the piece I cut off the backing plate to do the same. Time for a wire wheel and some paint over the weekend hopefully, got more gas ready for tubs this morning. This has been a good project for welding experience, I am happy with how some of them turned out, they're not all bangers but there's some good ones in there for sure.

    Forgot, Dale said porting is done. Next step is machine for valve guides, cut seats (radial cut) then final mill and wash. Couple stock port pics for comparison. Dale said this about flow numbers. "Chamber opening varied as casting shift had changes of 2-3cc between cylinders. Approx 330 intake and 270 exhaust @ 28". Focus is on velocity rather than outright numbers. This is for 86.5 bore."

    Second support in, rear lip prepped, cut, attached. Can lift the bench off the ground from the lip with no noticeable flex so it seems strong enough to stop shit falling off the back. Next is some supports for the table to leg connection, clean up and a lick of paint on the frame.

    PCB solder job looks plenty good, well done

    Been busy, managed to do some more fab bench, measured/prepped/welded in 1 of the bench supports, used clamps and the other support to compress the bench flat between the 2 sections of SHS and take the bow out of it before welding the support in, other side wont need that.
  23. No Crust Racing
    Bonus head pics I just got, Dale said he's moving on to surface finishing now.
  24. No Crust Racing
    Started chipping away at the fab bench. - Cut/prepped supports for the bench surface (found there's slight bow so buying some big clamps to help straighten that today) - Levelled it up better as it was rocking a tad. - Removed one cross brace so I can get stuff under it, will 45 deg cut the bar and reweld it into the corners - A mate wire wheeled the surface of the bench for me on the weekend, but I think I'll go a bit further on that so it starts out nice, see how we go. Still need to cut/prep the backing piece and clean up the frame for a quick coat of paint to freshen it up. This should make fabbing the tubs a bit easier.

    Really valuable info as I'd be eyeing 75s as well.
