enough with the pushrods, i know its a bit of a dinosour but it will rev, dont worry about that.

as for the cambelt, i reckon you could probably get a Jessel set up, i know they do one for earlier chevs and fords. when its making 800hp ill get one for u jase.

Removed 4 piston & rod assys and took them to machine shop where we milled 6thou of the big end face to get the required clearance. took longer to remove them and re-fit them than it did to machine them. Anyway all done and back together.

Fabricated a baffle for the sump, very basic, just folded a piece of sheet metal up, cut some reliefs and welded it to the standard internal sump baffle. this was done to limit oil surge in sump which Ls1 engines were renound for. Re-fit rear oil seal plate and seal, and sump. also fit balancer and water pump today as well as a few sensors and engine mount brackets. Just the heads and manifolds and it will be ready to fit.

Front screen and rear quarter windows were also fitted today.

Not RB's!

i heard we are all pitting together, ill be your pit bitch. it will go 9.0s if you let me neer the NOS bottle.

i am...just fitted new ECU...diff tomm...dogbox friday....tune saturday....9.60's sunday :D

so the gtr had the wiper then.......he will just have to chase up a gtst rear screen.

wrong thread?

but yeah should be there sunday.

Ill give you a buzz or pop in if I head up

BTW - You can just put a grommit in the hole. Bit sturdier than a sticker and it's what we did on another GTR

unfortunately no, unless you use a bellhousing that will accept starter on the other side, would also have to modify block as starter mounts on it. i have heard that you can get a kit, but am not 100% sure. might be able to find answers on ls1.com

Stu,

I have spoken to a few people (LS1 R33 and an LS1 R34) and both of them were able to retain the power steering.

Is the R32 GTSt engine bay narrower than the later models? Another option I have heard is to use the steering rack/front bits from a GTS4 or a GTR as they supposedly allow for more room to clear the front drive shafts/sump/diff/etc.

Both the above cars used Holden mounts modified to suit, rather than the Nissan mounts you optioned for. Might affect clearance a bit?

Hope that helps keep us posted.

Cheers

yeh mate, it is possibly the case that the r32 is tighter, but in my case i like the manual steer feel alot better and removing the rack, pump & lines save me some weight.

thanks buddy, if only i could get my phone to talk to my computer.

the first pic shows one of the 4 conrods having the big end face milled. took 6thou off, 40thou=1mm.

second pic shows underside of sump baffle with fabricated baffle attached. this sits infront of oil pickup.

third pic shows baffle in place. hole is where pickup sits through.

fourth pic shows underside of engine with windage tray fitted.

also fitted water pump, alternator today as to set up the drive-belt which had to be modified as there is no power steer pump. just swapped an idler pulley and added a second one and a shorter belt. stinging for cylinder heads now.

Here's some more pics from Stuart's car. He can explain what they all do.

Hi!

I just started on my R32 with LS3, T56 project, and was wondering what you used for a shaft between the transmission and rear differential, and where I can get one of these shafts?

Nice build. Would love to see some pictures and videos when your finished.

It's a custom job with the appropriate yokes at each end. Are you really using a 6.2L LS3?

tailshaft was a custom unit. GTR rear uni with front yoke to suit tremec with f100 uni. this cost around $800.

    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
