Thats good news about the gearbox droo, im hoping for at least 6 months out of it, driving only on weekends.

Sounds like you got you got away with your conversion pretty cheaply redline. Did you do some of the wrok your self to keep costs down? I think the gts4 is easier as well coz you can use the same sump and things like that?

My motor is finally in! all thats left now is wiring in the microtech then its off to the dyno next week! Im so excited i just did a little bit of wee

Cheers frost. nah didnt end up using the fuel reg yet. Gonna see how it goes on the dyno first with the gtr reg.

Thanks Mitchy, the colour of the motor against the yellow i wasnt actualy to keen on when i first saw it, its growig on me but.

The wiring is done nismonewf, the photo is a week old.

I was dreaming. Still no dyno. I cant push the guy though, if I was paying him by the hour the job woulda cost me twice as much. I just got the word he wants it out by friday so now i have a good chance of driving it for the weekend!

I gave Him my car aout 7 weeks ago. The deal was though, because i have a daily driver he would do the job cheaply if he could work on it in between jobs.

Dunno how long it would take if someone worked on flat out.

My car finnally hit the dyno today!

310rwhp. Thats a mild tune to run the motor in, but i think thats still going to feel pretty bloody impressive considering my only previous mod was a pod filter and a cat back exhaust.

It did go as high as 348rwhp on 15 psi but 310 will do for now.

Thanks for everyones advice and interest.

i just had a friend of a friend tell me having a RB26 in a R32 GTS-t makes no difference and saying that his R33 GTS25 will still beat it, because of his engine and weight. how funny is that :/

Nice work dude! Has come along very well. How do you find driving it now compared to the previous setup? Suspension will be the key.

It will be interesting to see how long the 20 box lives..! Stash some cash for the expected :)

I have an R32 GTS-4 with a 26 shoved inbetween the strut towers also, flick it into rwd and all she wants to do is dance and shake her booty!! :huh:

    • I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing
    • I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.
    • Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.
    • Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
    • Is the UP Garage in the US of Ayyeee even the real UP Garage?
