Cheers guys should all come together pretty quickly now! The bottom radiator hose is the issue at the moment need some of that bendy hose it's a tight squeeze between the accumulator and the alternator to get down to the bottom tank!

Engine and box back in finally!

Yeh that's the one! Interested to see if the Vcam is worth all that money!

Well I thought I had it sold some dude said he was going to pick it up today so missed out on another sell but that's gum tree

Wow a 45 or 47 haha drag monster obviously! I've just seen on the Gtr.co page a dude has put the same combo together but is using a Vcam set up with it! Should be a good comparison for the Vcam dam they're expensive!!

Yeh they say that's what they are rated to I was all signed up to a gtx40 but these things seem to be just as responsive but produce 42 style power! We are about to find out!

New turbo is here! EFR 9180 f**k yes

Selling my near new gtx35 with atp ceramic coated 1.06 divided rear housing. This turbo has done about 2000ks on my new motor but it seems it's a little to small for the 3.2 litres. Most of that was spent running the motor in so it's hardly seen more than 8 to 14 psi of boost even. Pains me to do so since it cost so dam much but not much I can do about it now. My loss your gain! I would like $1600. I can arrange postage if you need it. Or else if you want to come have a look Cloverdale WA 0412473767

Pistons have been coated wooo

They just be waiting for a big enough gap in work to start on the engine not something you want to start stop start again. End up leaving shit at machine shops to long and going back over your work make sure everything is all done right! What did you end up doing for the trans?

Just going to take my time now man no rushing but hopefully it won't be long. Head is all good as new just waiting on the pistons christmas would be nice but probably a little to optimistic!

Back from painting! Few imperfections but it's certainly not a show car so nothing that can't be fixed or lived with! Can't wait to get the engine back now and get it all back together! Waiting on the piston coating at the moment then it can all go back together!

Hey guys just after a blown up gt or gtx 35. Even if you think it is just scrap I want it! Only after something in the Perth area though. Cheers Ben

Too true!

Your right everyone has said that. Once you start it is never over...

Yes that would appear to be the case so far but hopefully this will be it! Once it's back together I will hopefully be busy chasing fast times at the drags! Sorted the engine out. Valve springs only had 70psi seat pressure obviously didn't do my homework well enough at that point of the build. Changing up to the big single and titanium retainer set up from kelfords. Take the seat pressure up to a big 105 psi. That will keep them closed! Bores little scored up which is sad but a light hone will fix that and getting the piston skirts moly coated for good measure too! Should be back together soonish... I hope

Had some problems with the motor after powercruise so decided it would be a good time to rip it out and paint the engine bay! She will be looking absolutely mint by race wars!

yeh it will certainly be a lot lighter makes it feel a little bit spongy but if i can drive it around powercruise with a broken leg with no problems it must be light! Thats fair enough im sure once you start looking for more power the e85 will be handy yeh you dont even notice the quaife at all infact somwtimes when the car is on the hoist i wonder if its not even in there. those things work on magic im convinced... Brakes are definitely at the top of the list now for me. I reckon ill get the attkd set up at the moment Yes there will be some videos made when the auto is back in! see how fast I can go with the 35 and then probably step up to the 42 I think before race wars next year!

well if it costs an extra handful of cash i wont be too happy at this stage its been taken care of by mike but its not back in the car yet so we will see i suppose.. Will be good when its sorted though thats for sure! You will love the nismo twin so easy to drive but at least for my car its right on the limit but having said that i haven't had any troubles with it at all! amazing how an organic light clutch can put up with the much power! yeh the head work and cams will definitely help make use of the added cubes. Dont under estimate the worth of a good porting job on something like this! If you dont plan on running e85 just leave the flex out all together its not hard to add in later if you change your mind. I put the quaife front diff in but i havent changed anything else. If i was keeping the manual long term i would most definitely be rebuilding the transfer with the usual mods and a gear set in the box but will leave it all for now any come back to it later when i get sick of the auto. Definitely do the transfer case though along with the front diff as torque steering will give you the shits. i dont know what is actually happening just yet but the thing steers all over the show especially in third hard on the pedal! its an animal i suspect maybe transfer case at this point... My experience is go the biggest and best brakes you can afford... haha having said that mine is still stock with good pads but are next on the list of this to buy! yeh man i can wait to drive that auto again it was a beast!! will post videos when i get it going again this time!

Yeh man had to try so hard to get it going before powercruise too... Very sad it just never engaged third properly first and second was fast though! Look forward to trying it out the second time!

Cheers man eh I have some from powercruise this weekend will put some up! The 3.2 is the way to go so happy with it if your after response put a gtx35 on it and never look back. 630hp on e85 heaps for a daily! On boost all the time! Haha As for the auto that shit itself the day I put it in so I don't think you could get any advice from me on it.. I'm dealing with mvs though so you could call mike and ask him about it I don't have a lot of faith in it at the moment but I'm invested so I have to see it out now! Was really good though before I died though so fast with a 3300 stall! As for the standard manual I've seen more "built" boxes blow up and that includes HKS boxes and stuff than I have seen standard ones blow up. They aren't as weak as they are made out to be around 600hp. Mine is loving it at the moment but I think the soft nismo twin will help a bit?

Yeh shift kitted and manualised are pretty far apart strengths wise but from what I understand it's not the outright hp it's revs mostly that kills them. Mike rates it more like a 10 or potentially 9 second box rather than x amount of hp. Should hopefully be giving it lots of curry this weekend but will be properly putting it to the test next week for the drags and powercruise

MV Automatics built the box

Fair enough man hopefully this box lives up to the expectation I am assured that it will be plenty strong but time will tell I suppose!
