well crank is back in... got my rods resized with ARP bolts and they go back in today... it should all be back together this weekend. with the crank i had it in and out no less then 15 times measuring and checking bearing clearances... we then had to do some work to make sure they were all spot on. time consuming stuff.

update!!

motor re assembled by myself.. bearing clearances checked. everything all good. and motor back in the car. started it up tonight after priming it up for oil pressure and it fired first go and sounded great! got it up to temp and it seems to have slightly more oil pressure then before and rev's and idles smoother then ever.

skid performed :P

some updates... been busy last few weeks working on my trailer doing brake upgrade, new hubs, GTST rims, new tyres, and a few other things. oh and new 4meter long ramps :D

in between i have been doing a few things here and there to my car. some pics here

10W super bright LED's with a 45degree spread. got these for the trailer which i will mount on my new nose cone facing backwards... it really is a PAIN in the arse loading and unloading at night so these will help a bit!

my new ramps.. they are 4 meter scaffolding planks. they require a support in the middle to stop the sagging but they work a treat.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
