    So is it not cool if I bought I Beam? To be fair I have 2 less cylinders to work with so need to work them harder

    Can't tell if using a trailer plug is dodgy AF or genius What pedal are you using?

    Cheers, body loom stays, it was just the engine loom. A mate of mine did his and reckons the loom itself was only $250 worth of materials etc but that he easily spent 24hrs of time on it (and many beers). Said it could be done in 4-8hrs if he wasn't f**king around. Can't see how it would be "that" cheap unless he had some of the tools etc already. I've got some decent DC gear (for solar), but all for bigger stuff (crimpers, strippers etc) nothing for pinning/de-pinning or working on really small stuff. Hmm Gave the top end of the engine a wipe over/tidy up last night and will degrease/pressure wash the bottom half ouside on the weekend, wanted to do the top by hand to avoid issues with plugs etc. Got my oil filter relo and gearbox mount off t and started talking to the buyer about the logistics of freighting it all which I think will happen next week. If I get time this week I'll pull the seats and get the cage out so it can be tidied up and sold then I can start thinking about dropping the car off for the cage work. I know I will go to front and rear towers, but I'm on the fence about triangulating the towers to the dash bar/firewall area as it apparently causes issues with the wiper setup and can be a pain for brakes/plenum etc etc. I was thinking maybe forgo that, but modify the castor arm mounts Nismo style, boxed and with the rod between them to support the bottom of the chassis rails and leave the strut brace to take care of the tops as best it can? As that's something I can DIY I reckon.

    ECU and loom out which included removing the SAFC2 from the loom, which was annoying. Heater box etc out for easy access, don't think it will be fun to put back in as the little rod assembly fell off so I'll have to see how that works. I remembered I removed the heater core years back (for weight savings yo) and now I'm wondering if I should source another and reinstall for de-fog or something but I've never had an issue in that respect, thoughts? Who here has made their own loom? I'm on the fence about whether I make one or buy one as I don't think I wanna use the factory SR one. Just need to pop the shifter back in the box, give it all a quick degrease, split the box from the engine then start to arrange shipping (unless he wants the brakes, we'll see). Those dollies are proving quite helpful to I've decided.

    lol yes, but I want to keep my car, I've had it longer than any other car I've owned. Anyway, more research to do
  12. No Crust Racing
    Oh and width? I thought ZF was not as wide as DCT also. Both are heavier than suitable manual choices I realise
  13. No Crust Racing
    My understanding was the DCT was more expensive to buy, maintain/repair etc than the ZF and I don't need the clutching capability.
  14. No Crust Racing
    Hah, this wasn't an issue thankfully as I was always ultra anal about routing, but there were some remnants of street car life to deal with. I ended up having to just cut one of the rubber lines from the sandwich plate too, I could not get the hose off the press on fittings for the life of me.
  15. No Crust Racing
    Ahh I get you now, from what I understand, the drift cars all go DCT for that reason.
  16. No Crust Racing
    Removed shifter, removed last power steering line, removed engine mounts (may have damaged a thread on one, will run a die over it and see) dropped gearbox mount and started to remove the lot, then went back and removed clutch slave line I forgot..😅 before easing her out. And that was that, 32yrs of life in that shell, 146 or so thousand k's, maybe 20 track days/events (with me), and now it sits on the floor. Need to split the box, remove engine loom and ECU from the car then lay out all the pieces to discuss with buyer. I'm going to hit it with degreaser and a pressure wash before I ship it too I think. Engine bay is filthy and I've learned alot about what I would and wouldn't do again mods/repair wise on this engine seeing how some stuff has held up or not.
  17. No Crust Racing
    Yeah but it's a Nissan automatic, hardly a fair comparison 😂
  18. No Crust Racing
    Do you think Vicroads will let me re-reg my car after it has a full cage???? I've rarely heard of a cat actually collapsing and never personally seen one. What causes it? Heat? Age? Abuse?
  19. No Crust Racing
    Got another FB message last night linking me to a post about how much of a nightmare the HGT was to work with, failed out comes etc. To look at "Turbo Lamik" who is apparently the best tuner in Poland for this sort of stuff (apparently only Poland are doing these ZF swaps coz I think HGT are there too?). So I'll have a look at that also.
  20. No Crust Racing
    Adaptor kits exist for zf... Do it....
  21. No Crust Racing
    I think the difference is the Torque Convertor Clutch in the ZF, that's what separates it from a normal auto AFAIK so far.
  22. No Crust Racing
    Well apparently, look at Johnny Ding on YT and his a90 supra with a lesser version box tracking it regularly. DCT is much more $$ and more complex to repair/maintain/upgrade.
  23. No Crust Racing
    I'm currently chatting to a guy on Facebook Messenger who has one running an S14 and I'm liking everything I'm hearing pretty much
  24. No Crust Racing
    Awesome, thanks Duncan. We'll see what caliper sets come up when the time comes. One step at a time :D
  25. No Crust Racing
    That looks like a sequential shifter? They are also using a DCT not ZF8HP. I see it's a jinx shifter, will take a look.
