Nytsky's Engine Build

[NYTSKY]

OK all,

Throttle cable is done,tail shaft is on and radiator ect is in,we even put oil in it. Have a small issue with the plenum to fix but thats about it.

For the first time in 5 months the car is off the stands and sitting on its tyres.

I have booked the car in for the week after next to get all the piping done.

[NYTSKY]

Plenum problem now fixed,and installed the Greddy catch can.

Just got to hook up all the vacuum lines and put the bonnet back on.

Also added finishing touches like the Nismo oil cap and Nismo radiator cap.

Im getting rather excited now as i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, i even spent 10mins sitting in it getting my driving position just right lol

just make sure it has insurance the day i leaves the garage.

[Cubes]

No doubt the night before it gets tuned it will feel like the night before xmas when you were a little tacker.

I do have a little concern about my new clutch.

I had an Xtreme cushion button before,now its a Jim Berry custom jobbie.

With the clamp load now being 3700lbs its feels sooo much lighter than the Xtreme one.

We have bled the clutch but it only improved it ever so slightly, so im beginning to think that its the way its suppose to be.

Just a bit weird knowing a have a monster clutch but it feels almost standard compared to the last one.

[Cubes]

lol...

I went from a 1.2 tonne Xtreme clutch to the heaviest I believe 1.2tonne Exedy and the exedy felt like a feather compared to the super heavy Xtreme.

However; I felt a fairly new Extreme that was around the 1tonne mark and that felt fairly light so maybe it was just their old school clutches that were super heavy on the foot.

Dont forget, as clutches wear, they become heavier, thats why new clutched always feel lighter than the old ones they replace

Does anyone know how to remove the rocker cover breathers?

Do they have a thread or are they press fitted in?

I want to replace them with two Earls 90 degree bends.

[Dahtone Racing]

pressed in

[NYTSKY]

pressed in

I thought as much. Looks like ill have to make do with the stock ones.

Anyway here is a new pic i took with the coil pack in bright silver:

Looks like a Tomei "DERIVE" engine lol

Looks awesome in the sunlight.

Im getting a sticker made to replace the 2500 24valve logo.

[Dahtone Racing]

they can be pressed out pretty easily

then either tap some threads or press some fittings in the covers and you can use earls stuff

ive got a set here that have had the stock fittings pressed out and earls 90 degs pressed in

[jeffworld2]

gifve them a twist and they should come out dave they are not so tight and havent got a flared edge underneath or anything. just the perfect size pipe

Will be going to the exhaust shop in a week or two,then its off to the tuners so it will be on the road in a month id say.

On a side note my throttle cable is now too short for the plenum and trottle adaptor.No matter how i run it,it wont work.There must be people running the same setup as me who have got around this problem. Any suggestions??

R31 cable replaced mine
