CDI has arrived, engine is back in the car, just waiting on a new radiator and a wiring kit for the CDI. I Expect it to be running on Tuesday, there are a number of other things im having done once the engine is in so it should be tuned by the end of the week. The Blitz boost controller is coming out as the SM4 will control it. I've also removed the 4ws and modified the power steering pump to suit. New clutch is in as the previous one needed a slightly longer throw to disengage, consequently the fingers have copped it from the thrust bearing so will need replacing. I"ll keep that clutch for my 26 build that will be starting in a few weeks once the GTR is up and running. Got bored and painted the callipers in their factory colour. Head unit for the sound system has arrived, other bits seem to have been lost in the mail, fortunately i insured them so i will be getting a replacement set Otherwise baring something major i should have her back end of next week and i'll be able to see what she ends up putting out.

Finally got back into the engine build after more unavoidable delays. Cleaned the crank and did the big end clearances, had planned to complete the bottom end but ran out of plastigauge after 2 pistons Ordered a CDI for the newly acquired SM4 yesterday and the clutch is off getting re-built. New radiator should arrive by the end of the week. Got bored and repainted the brakes in their factory colour as well.

Thanks guys, i'm going to have a go at making it myself Cheers

Thanks Bundy, i'll keep looking

Nice work Chris!

Thanks Bundy- I spoke to Chris as i saw a link to him while searching, however he doesn't build subs!

Hi, Searched for a while, didn't get anything i was after. Just wondering if Brisbane guys could point me in the direction of some sub builders. I've recently purchased a complete system, but need someone to build a sub enclosure to fit in the boot of my 32GTR, i'll also be needing someone to install the system as well as i'd prefer it to be professionally done. Any help is appreciated. I work west of Brissy near Ipswich but it doesn't need to be near there. Thanks

Hi, Did a search, nothing come up that was newer than 2003!! I've bought a complete system for my 32GTR, just need someone to build a ported sub enclosure to fit in the boot. An anyone suggest some places in Brisbane- i work near Ipswich but it doesn't have to be near it. Its a 12 inch Alpine type R. I won't be doing the install either. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, it's shitty but you live and learn. I now shudder when i see/read about cars with N1's. It was the only piece of the engine i was uncomfortable with, had the chance to fit a Jun pump but obviously i decided not to- bad decision, but the Nitto will be better. The 25 in my Sil80 ran standard oil and water pumps with no issues for 5 years with around 480 engine hp and hard track use. Engine had around 25000kms on it, a cracked block was what stopped it. Now rebuilding the 26 that was in my GTR. Crank collar is pretty much a standard fit now! I used a 999 hard piping kit cheap and good quality. I lengthend the pipe that comes through the chassis on the inlet side, so that any future standard piping would fit Yer the standard top pipes have had the magic wand cast over them

Engine is out of the car, N1 oil pump failed after 4500km of street driving. Saw 6000rpm twice, was still on run in tune. Anyway, i caught it quickly but other things transpired that's delayed fixing it until now. Been sitting idle for almost 5 months Have a Nitto pump to fit. Main bearings have touched the crank lightly in a few places, but overall, ok to re-fit, but it'll get all new bearings and i'll be knife edging the crank as well. Cleaned the bottom end today, along with the pistons and rods. Just waiting for bearings to arrive to begin assembly. Will make some changes to the sump baffling, while its apart. Its also getting a surge tank and another 044. Recently purchased an SM4 from a forum member which will replace the PowerFC. The new clutch wasn't disengaging 100%, so modding the pivot point slightly. Have fitted a hard piping kit from as well. Should be finished in a few weeks....ordered a new sound system for it as well..

What is it going to be used for?

Hey Rob, Can you expand on the crank trigger setup a little for the SM4? thanks

......Go Lowndsey & Skaifey

Go Lowndsey!!

Says Newcastle is his details

If i have the $$ to rebuild the engine, i'll go. Open class, never been to EC, anything close to 1:45 i'll be happy.

Rough rule of thumb, if she's still making at least 10hp per psi added, she's still reasonably efficient. When it drop below 10, it's time to think about stopping.

My 3 litre with -5's should be back running after an oil pump fail, yes N1- by the end of the month. 260x9.1 cams, stock cooler ex manifolds plenum but some headwork. I'm replacing the Powerfc with an SM4 and running around 19psi, so it should be a reasonable indication
