Full monty clutch, hope it handles...

all the work is either getting done by myself or a good friend who works for ricky stephans (some people would know that name in the drag racing scene)

top guys to deal with though, and close to my work, so we can transport gear to them easily. got to love trade discount lol.

WELL.... After a few years, career change, city move, and a give up all together on this motor, it is finally running!!!

its been that long that i hardly remember all the parts used!

ill try and upload some photos but currently without a good tune its just pushed out 424.6HP on 13psi. im now running it in and will go back in 2-3 weeks for a proper tune at 13psi then a 20 and a 25... getting talked into a E85 tune also haha.

PLEASE ask me any questions you can think of and il try and get the spec's/answers.

Car has been sittin for that long that the front coilovers have seized and the rears have leaked and bounce away...

Just ordered a new set of coilovers, slotted rotors and new brake pads.

kind of surprised that after all this time the tyres havnt got flat spots or the car hasnt fallen apart with rust...lol

yeh it was down there, looking pretty sad on the outside hey!? cant wait to get rid of those damn doors haha

Yeah...going to have to agree with the doors. Rims could do with a change too, engine is a keeper though.

Then again, I need a new engine and would be more than happy to take it off your hands lol

yeh, well picked up the car as a 5sp manual rb20det for $2200, then $2000 for bodykit/paint/tint, and the wheels were a straight swap for my standard gtst rims.

so ive spent the money on the motor and now everything can be worked up to go with it :)

been a budget car untill it come to the motor.

    • That's true. However, this problem has started since the tuning. First time with the return journey from the tuning. But yes, the pipe was clogged with dirt and rust. That was certainly due to age
    • Great info @tidi0x  Will definitely be handy for others and maybe me if I decide to keep the shit box H pattern.
    • Bumping this up one last time.... I wanted to follow up on the clutch slave issue. I realized that what the issue comes down to is the pocket is flat milled, and the cylinder does not want rest flat. So in order to mount it correctly you will need to make a spacer for the fingers so the cylinder is floating. I took two plates of aluminum, drilled some holes and was good. I did still need to make the relief cuts in the bell housing, as even with the spacer the bleed section still interferes. The OE bell housing the mounting holes are raised from the housing.       
    • If the event in USA goes ahead will be interesting as it seems the rules will get more cars over here. Apparently the track is laguna seca too. Yeah s15, if I get a the lower dash trims, centre console and change front cross member to standard LCA position will fit clubsprint. See how rules are as i would rather do complete widebody than a bolt on flare to run the 295 with proper clearance.
    • If the car is legal height I can't see it being an issue. Found a thread on reddit that might offer some insight.   I got a ticket from a copper in QLD for my S15 being too low. They had this wheel thing on a stick that they put under the car and it hit my exhaust. Anyhow went to an exhaust shop to get the exhaust tucked up/hung a little higher and I wound the coilovers up a smidge. Don't think I even had to go back to the police station unlike when I got defected for having a carbon bonnet when I brought the S15 from the ACT to QLD and had to replace it and then rock up at a police station and have a yougish female officer who knew nothing about cars confirm that I had changed bonnets. Should have just painted the carbon bonnet yellow to match the rest of the car lol
