Well, after importing her over a year ago, and pulled her to bits 9 months ago i finally had the time to do some work!

took weeks off work and worked on it from 7:30 am to 6pm every day!

basicly the engine bay was fully stripped and repsrayed in 2pac gloss black. The subframe was cleaned and sprayed, wheel wells and underbody, along with almost everything else in the bay (wiper motor, abs unit, brake/clutch boosters, all brackets etc).

the intake manold, engine covers and turbo pipes were all powder coated.

engine bay is close to completion, waiting for the oil cooler to be sorted.

all thats left is the rear diff, fuel tank etc to be returned. The whole underside of the car has been degreased and cleaned (hoping the pit guys will appreicate this)

if the cash flow is good, with luck ill be cruising mid feb!!!

hey all, spent the weekend finishing her off. rear diff and fuel tank went back in.

and then got her started!! after sitting there for over a year!!

all was good, up untill one of my retard friends snapped the bolt that bleed the air for the coolant. basicly we tried to drill it out and comletly screw the tube so i had to take out.

Im mega pissed, worked my ass off everyday for 3 weeks solid to get at this stage and one bolt has set me back a couple of days....

hoping to get it welded shut and a new hole tapped.

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
    • Ah ok, yeah it should be flat, I believe the r34 battery tray has these 3 bumps in them they makes it line up and everything is flat, don't see how it would tilt if everything is secured.
    • Agreed it actively wants to kill you which I love driving fast cars slow is my stick
    • Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!
