Been a while so here is an update.

Double checked piston to valve over the weekend to get the headgasket thickness.

A 1.2mm Nitto gasket has been ordered which will give us a 9.0:1 CR :)

Waiting on a billet flywheel from the states, so engine should go in this week.

Paul did a great job with the engine mounts so it will hardly look like there is a RB30 in there :D

Mufflers came in so most of the exhaust fab will start this week.

Ill be heading up to Pauls next week to have the first look since the bay was painted etc.

Turning key on it very soon :)

Sorry Dave, looks like i will end up beating you at this rate haha

Modified twin turbo pipe should arrive tomorrow, ARC air filters still on their way (was going to go back to pods, but found filters for a price i couldnt say no to), exhaust is all just waiting to be put together and then its all systems go

Ok you win.

Even when this engine is in and running we still have another head here we are working on.

The HKS cams in the current head are great but need that big ass lumpy note for Powercruise :D

Tomei 270s :D

    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
