Well my car got all that much closer yesterday.

Brake master cylinder in, bled & suspension all done. Wheels went back on last night and I expect it to be going to the exhaust people either later today, or next Tuesday when I'm on another day off.

All is going to plan at present.

Im pretty sure Cazz has been putting inmany hours of 'covertime' at work, getting everyting ready etc!

Im still trying to figure out if the cars will be in n Arc or Line....

Im thinkig of asking the boss for the whole of next week off, otherwise this car will be both shit lookin, N/A (as in no turbo) and a 3 inch stanless exhaust and scuffed Z31 rims... TOOO loud for a total of 3200km trip...

AND

another let down.... blown headgaskt. sure it only takes 10 hours to fix, but I only ave 32 hrs to spare, and 30 of that is bolting on go-fast bits!

arrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhh. should just buy that shabby GTSI and give it a detail....

Ive decided to keep the go-fast bits for the long weekend we have coming up....

So im going for the growly N/A option.

Still to decide on what to do with the exhaust though.

The turbo exhaust setup (which will likely be a bit too loud for N/A):

3 inch stainless from exh manifold to the 'cat'

'cat' is now a 3 inch I.D. (4" O,D,) stainless hot-dog, about 40/50cm long

then to a 2.75 inch mandrel section from the 'cat' to over-the-diff,

to a 2.5 inch inlet oval muffler with dual 2.5 tips

Still contemplating chucking in another muffler in the 3 inch front pipe

versus a 2.25 mild steel jobbie from the local workshop (at a cost though...) in which I will be chucking in a few months for the turbo setup....

although i could re-sell it to another member>>>>????

      RB20 and 25 NEO differences

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)

      Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
