Craved

I would leave it at 81 - then you can slide the 3 inch pipe inside the flange opening.

making me change things hey lol

haha yeah thats easy man - what distance do you want between the centre hole and the outside edge? also what holes sizes? want a bolt through or to stud it?

apologies guys, notifications still arent working for me Yes, still have the FPR - looks almost new - will get a pic for you yeap, can remove it from the shell ready for you call the business phone on 0404 760 314 Front half of the tailshaft went with the gearbox sorry still got the hairs on them so basically brand new.

sale fell through so still available

unfortunatley not Andrew lol that really needs to be laser cut, then CNC milled from the look of it - though im tempted to get the file for the 1uz to T56 file and see what their machining options are, i do have contacts for all this stuff now. even if the laser cutters did the main work then etched the surface for the milling part you could spend some time doing it manually on a mill.

haha yeah, but an american road car .. so not really a road car - small feature on speedhunters about it recently. i already have the 1uz motor - so no point going with something else again if it ever happened.

cheers Michael, was nice little project to see my idea turn to paper, then drawing it on cad, cutting it out myself (was early days at my other job) then folding and welding to get it finished. I'll get tricky with the next one i hope if not race car, id be keeping the A/C - getting old and global warming etc etc lol havent been down to meet brad yet, hopefully i'll start having more time to visit more of SAUs master fabricators to steal their mojo ,,, umm i mean learn from them

haha nah im good up here i should have taken some photos of the yamaha logo we cut out yesterday, turned out awesome in 3mm mild steel .. will try to get pics if anyone needs some CNC cut pieces let me know

Just found some crappy photos of a radiator shroud i made for a V8 Capri. CAD drawn and CNC plasma cut - just had to change the design half way through as the fan would not strip down to allow me to remove the plastic safety shroud.

what about just tacking it together and getting someone else to weld it up? worst case they can grind off your tacks after retacking it themselves - doesnt help the DIY aspect but it will be nicer finished product from your last pic

hahah Corey - nice try, but the other voices in my head said yours wasnt welcome

bringing the car to visit dave? "The rail and plenum look good in place, i am yet to get black fittings for the fuel rail but i can do them when i go to teflon lines, for now the whole aim is to get the car going for street use as i need a daily and it will make working on it easier once it is mobile -" 'yes and no mat, but its looking good mate!

lol poor andrew yeah, got this spare 1uz in the shop that i wouldnt mind seeing if it fit in the r33 bay .. twin turbos maybe ......stop it ...bad chris!! hahaha

super lame

ahaha ive seen worse Andrew - time for a mig

i have plenty of the bends and straight pipe to work out what i need on bench. but just had the thought to cutup the wreck in the shop, straighten the chassis rails then brace it up. use that as a mockup engine bay for skylines. would be easier if i could find someone with an r33 front cut shell they want to get rid of, save me alot of cutting and bracing to make a crumpled front end into a straight one

the car was running and driving with that twin setup, but going back to a small single aka rb25 turbo to simplify things.

fits alright, less room than it looks lol love the 1uz swaps - its one of my projects down the line lol then click the link http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-car-projects-builds/58737-1uz-ae86-aus-toy.html

youve got heaps of room, try putting that motor in a sprinter lol and keeping the twins

I have a chunk of I beam that we used for a mates 1jz manifold, didnt seem to warp it - but getting it machined afterwards is still a good idea. I was hoping to do it all out of the car, though that will probably be impractical. might test fit the block to the wreck i have here, it is slightly bent of the passenger rail/tower but if it fits in there it will fit a straight car. prob best to do that anyway, then i can test fit the new sump extension im making. might throw some pics up of that too.

not sure when i'll get it finished, next step is working out where i want the turbo to sit. this will be going on my 26/30 which im still building so i'll have to find some references to help me position the turbo trying to build it all out of the car then drop it all in in one go.

as GTR81 said, the bends are bevelled, i'll prob radius the ends of the straight tube before i weld it up too

keen to hear how much this will be, let me know what Steve does and how much as i've got to get my head sorted out aswell

where you sending the head Sean? valve spring compressors dont work on these heads?
