    I did note my mistake and edited. You read the GT-R build and this one? Confirmed Masochist.

    Sounds dodgy AF with 7 posts, I'm totally in. BRB bois, let me see if I keep my kidneys after the meet up

    The S15 is tasty! I spoke to him about the S13, standard box, basic brakes, and 30k. I understand it includes spares and a trailer though but 30 seems rich for it TBH. I'll hit him up for a more complete list.

    lol no, best option is another S chassis. Did look at 370 for the brakes and box but all the crashed ones are road cars so generally need all the suspension work etc

    Sat down with a good old excel last night and it's clear to me, buying another car is the most cost effective method, regardless of which shell I end up putting the engine in. Ideally I'd put it in my car for the history and all that, but it will just depend on what I come across. So keep your eyes out for something suitable - big brakes, cd009 or z33 box, good diff, wide, 10" rims, and ideally something SR based so I can re-use parts of the hot/cold side maybe? Full cage good if bolt in or the shell is better than mine. In the meantime, I'll press on with the shed, get a hoist in.

    350z with SR20? I did see one, will try and find it lol

    Yeah I saw those welds lols, Look like line Or this? What you got for me...

    LOL robbo, I have done most of the work... so to say it's "good" is a big assumption. Fair I do know what's been done, but It's by no means top shelf in any regard. You're forgetting a box, a fuel system, ECU, tuning, exhaust/intercooler fab work, oil cooler upgrade etc etc

    What do you guys think of this value wise? S15 180SX Rolling Shell Exhaust is still there, nothing special fuel system wise just in tank pump. Comes with no rims. I wanted to do mine white, I like s15 + 180SX Widebody done, 5 stud done, better cage done. Brakes no better than mine though, dunno how S15 subframe stacks up to GT-R, but mine is reinforced, that one isn't.

    Felt bad about the Silvia so jacked the rear and let it turn tyres for a bit then revved it up to blow some smoke out and make turbo noises. Gave the engine bay a little glance and noticed an oil breather line is splitting, was fairly new aeroflow 400 series hose so that's a bit lame. Given it's been like 2yrs, the car probs needs new fluids etc etc etc so I suppose I better work out wtf I am gonna do with it - put engine in it or something else. Putting the engine in this car will possible mean; - Box swap to handle it (considered ZF8HP, but CD009 or something would be the cheaper/easier swap) - Maybe diff swap as I have no idea how much abuse s15 helica can take. - Fuel system upgrade. - Oil and intercooler upgrade possibly? - New ECU and new loom. - Better brakes. - 5 stud conversion so I can run 10" wide rims to use the slicks all the other club guys run for cheap. - Wider guards to fit said slicks. - Should do a cage upgrade as there's only a half cage in there. That's not including "niceties" like a coat of paint and redo'ing the front splitter which is a little damaged. That list is partly, and being generally busy, is partly why the car has sat so long. It puts me off a bit. Went and measure up shed for wiring/water etc but next step will be to clean/wash the slab and seal it. Here's the view from inside, roller door is 5m x 3.2m

    Head looks great all things considered, big win

    Big month as usual, heaps going on but have got these new pics and minor updates. Girdle was .02mm out before being skimmed. He's seen them up to .04mm so was happy with that. Crank needs a final round of polishing but balanced up well, front main needed a little work he tells me. Haven't touched the shed, concrete still curing.

    When it works of course

    I continue to have my reservations about accusumps, have seen a couple engines spin a bearing when they failed to operate and have seen lots of leaks/mess. I realise they are substantially cheaper than a baller dry sump setup, but how do they stack up against a a used/DIY dry sump setup or maybe a hybrid, wet sump but external pump which I've seen around (solves oil pump failure issue for Nissan ppl and allows at least a basic reservoir to be added on the return side for extra capacity?). I suppose those external pumps are not really designed to move air so if you get oil surge it's not going to push the extra oil back in anyway, hence the accumsump pressurised design... hmm.. I did buy a new OEM pump for my setup because of the accusump plans but now I'm not so sure if I'd be better finding a good used dry sump setup instead, selling the new sump and pump.

    Wind is no issue where I am up on the hill, but from personal experience in my last place, the heat rising tends to make them turn a bit anyway which helps and having multiple 300mm holes in the roof allows the air to escape. Last shed had a monument coloured roof with thermal break and whirly and it was fine for temps that I'd want to be working anyway. This one has thicker thermal break and a green roof and is higher so hoping it's a little better. I have contemplated putting an evaporative cooler on this one, but whether it would help or just make it humid AF I dunno. After moving to refrigerative ducted in the house, I'd never go back lol

    Funny you mention HAPP, I was looking at HAPP40 or 60 I think it was, something like that. 1900-2000mm lift, clear floor, maybe 300mm extensions if Prado cannot be lifted above my head and still clear the safety (I think it will as Prado is under 1600 cabin height with racks at a guesstimate).
  18. No Crust Racing
    For that power, what you're doing well be perfect I reckon.
  19. No Crust Racing
    Not really, he only gives me so much as there's some special sauce in the work he reckons. Dunno if it's relevant to your head or did you go P12 as well?
  20. No Crust Racing
    Almost there, 2 dead whirlybirds so need to take those back, always something...

    Life been busy, engine builder been busy. Head work nearing completion. Basic shed nearing completion - maybe today they said, I opted out of being involved after the slab and ditched the original builder who was painful as f**k Still have water, power and elec, slab clean-up and seal, get hoist etc before I can look at moving my stuff in and doing any real work, will be slow going as it's gonna be too hot for that shit in summer.

    If oil temps are a concern over a roll racing stint there's big issues 0_0 Looks like you had some fun Benny Specs on passenger.
