who remembers the original thread on this bulid!? I moved overseas shortly after starting it, must be well over a year since i started the rebuild, but after countless $$$$$ its finally one piece!! Just awaiting the nismo plenum from greenline and the finishing touches of the assembly before the engine dyno-run-in/tune. Turbo is from the new Turbonetics GT-K series, i believe one of the first to land in Aus, supposedly a bit more huff than a TO4Z, we will shortly see...

Cubes, i still have that ex-honed mani for the gts!, will resume the re-testing in the GTS-t once this engine is bolted back in the GTR :)

Little bit more info on this exhaust manifold please? ie. maker and price bracket?

I like the angled windows machined into the comp cover. No doubt it will sound like an F1-11 on take off.

The purple paint job looks funky but makes me think of the purple TellyTubby :laugh:

Thanks guys, its been a long time coming.. i looked back to when i started getting parts just after the engine failed, it was 2 years ago!

Careless, i dont have a full buildup thread, i may have posted some pics of the crank during the early stages of the build. Once its all done ill post some specs.

Dale FZ1, its just your garden variety X-Force manifold :yucky: Apparently improved over the initial ones that cracked easily, supposedly increased strengthening and material thickness. Cost was less than a grand, car will hardly be used, so we figured we'd give it a go.

rb26s13, spot on, its an 850.

Btw the purple is from the old engine, its getting changed :)

    • interestingly enough, i found out the answer is yes. doing a flush did fix my recurring A/T light. it might have been because of the trans filter: but that doesn't really make sense to me. the fluid/filter was super dirty. would that increase the pressure in the lines and trigger an A/T light? does the car even have a way of detecting that? i have no idea. i've done 200+ miles after the flush and no A/T light. if my A/B solenoids went bad, i would think the light would've come on. shifts and drives way better now though...at 2k rpm instead of 2500...no hesitation and downshifts when i want it to. 
    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
