Yeah single wastegate

Cool. If you wouldn't mind putting up a pic of it when you're done that'd be most appreciated! Keen to check that option out vs the Full Race kit.

Sav man: This is my Nismo one in my 25 box, but not sure how much of a S you're looking for.

Don't all the shifters go into each 'box?

Benny, I reckon you'd need to make one mate, has YT got you sitting in the back seat?

not really, i was looking at trying to get a comfy position, and i think the gearstick might need to come back...so i don't need to have my legs cramped up

just personal prefarance, like to have the stick close. but once the seat is in i might change my mind. just wondered how hard it was. if i had a pedal box, i'd move everything right back though....but i'm not even temped to spend that kind of money.

fancy stuff is for gtr's and porsches.

Just talk to K. Luck about putting fancy stuff on your gts, more problems and goes slower... keep it simple and keep it clean...

Big little engine project is very close to completion now. Had a high-octane sump extension welded onto a factory sump last week so ive installed that today and finished cleaning up and installing a little more plumbing. The timing belt issue has been a bit more of a challange that I had thought it would be. The first belt ive sourced is 1 tooth too long, so im having to order a belt from the UK that normally goes on a vahuxall astra to get the right tooth count.

GTRS's should arrive next week so when the belt arrives it will be ready to install. Cant wait!

looking good mate. :thumbsup:

looking good mate. :thumbsup:

Thanks Richard. In hind sight Im thinking I should have made a build thread for this engine, but I can always do that later I suppose. I've got timing belt on it now, all sorted. Its a little perverse what engine it came from though.... its an Opal (holden) Barina timing belt.

    • Middle seat good for a slab of beer or Esky for a road trip. 2x kids, means 1x free seat lol.
    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.
