BezerkR32 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 a little more progress on the fuel rail, trial fitted them again today, just need a little more off to fit perfect. The good thing is the bonett closes. Also fitted some steering stops as the 235s foul on the castor rod on lock, so these are adjusted to stop this.

Neil Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Stuart,,,it's looking fantastic tiger. Are you going to make heat shields for the side pipes,,,you wouldn't wanna burn that pretty paint. What makes me laugh is how many Skyline owners and racers love the sound of a V8. Secretly deep down we all love the roar,,,don't we boys and girls. Neil.

Victory Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I cannot believe how nice the exhaust looks - cannot wait to hear this thing come to life for the first time. Clinton and I will have to come over and check out the steering stops that you have made as we will have to build the same for his car.

BezerkR32 Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 yes it runs............whoooohoooo. It actually went accidently. We primed the fuel system to set fuel presure and check for leaks, and i thought i would give it a crank just to see if we had enough battery and it popped. i thought SH*T, THIS IS GOING TO FIRE....so i cranked it again and off she went. Only ran it for thirty seconds or so but sounded the business and all the vitals were there. ie oil pressure etc. Had some ECU connection issues as the computer wouldnt let us talk to it, so going to try another one on monday. Think this one may have been security locked. but overall very happy. Just talked to stu, He kicked it over but I was mega busy.Had some issues with the ECU but it still started.
