Al are you entered for deca?

You wont believe how this thing goes

I'll be there and entered mate!

And if it's anything like mine, it will be absolutely awesome. Are you up for a car swap?

[N1GTR]

Yeah guess we can do that - not during competition runs though

** grossly overdue update **

well it's been over a year and things are happening slowly, but at least it's happening!!!

Over the last year the car has had a full cams cage fitted, seam welding done apart from that it's been collecting dust

As for the engine - work on this has recently commenced. I've got James from NISSPEED here in SA doing the build - he's just successfully finished a RB26/30 build making over 1000 RWHP + nitrous! I'm hoping to have my motor completed by about July.

Things I have purchased and dropped off so far:

RB26 head

TOMEI cam gears

6boost manifold

tial ext gate

gt3076r

NISMO oil pump (not N1)

NISMO thermostat

NISMO engine mounts (to be used when doing a test fit of oversized sump on dummy block)

CP pistons 9.0:1 CR

Spool Rods

ARP bolts

ACL bearings

external head drain -> sump

oil restrictors for the head

MLS 1.2mm metal head gasket

ATI 1000 HP harmonic balancer

xtreme drift clutch

1000cc injectors

3 L surge tank with 2x bracket for 044 external pumps

RB30 block has been stripped, acid dipped - it is ready to be bored/honed

RB30 crank has been blueprinted/machined/cracktested - ready for crank collar

next stage of the motor is to send off all the main bottom end bits to be balanced. I think main items that I still need to get are Main and head studs, water pump, custom tensioner kit (NISSPEED), splitfires, 2 x external fuel pumps - so still a fair way off lol.

As for the car - that is going out in april to go get the front guards tubbed and then off for paint again!

I will try keep this updated

Thanks
