posting for updates!!! this is awesome!! im trying to get my hands on a 67 custom 6 sedan with 54,000 original on the clock at the moment

At the moment the parts hunt continues........... I'd love to have more to update today but unfortunately the daily drives have been using up a lot of spare time of late. I'll hope fully have some more interesting stuff to post later this week fingers crossed.

Good on you and good luck on getting the 67 sedan :blink: Pre 70's is where its at! lol

the main thing thats holdiing me back atm is lack of shed....my wife's grandpop has the cedric at his house...sits untouched for a few months...puts the battery on and fresh fuel.....2 pumps and it starts.....

I just remembered a really cool japanese wagon I came across a while back, its a Mazda Savannah RX-3. Rare as hen's teeth, but totally worth it. Might give you some inspiration...

Just a quick update this morning.

The good news is that lots more parts have been sourced in fact enough to be able to start mocking everything up very soon.... ie when I separate the respective drive line parts from each car.

The new parts are as follows R32 RB25 head complete, RB25T turbo manifold, Q45 Throttle body, stock rb25turbo (too small but good enough for mock up)

I've got an rb25det ecu can I just use the rb30 harness for a lot of the build and just modify that where required???? Or should I just get the 25 engine harness and be done with it.

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
