Yep my car is taking priority for once!

Once its going again, which should be in a couple of weeks, we can start sizing the wheels for the sil80, buy some, and start on body work.

Also at some point we need to pull the motor out and fix all the oil leaks too...and fit the new turbo.

Looking at the pics, im guessing you have a tdo5hr(r means reverse rotation) , with a tdo5h exhaust housing which is why its spinning backward, it may still be a good turbo.

yep you are right but still makes is a useless turbo for us unfortunately. We might still be able to sell it off seperately.

WOW!! Update!!

We spent the weekend fixing the oil leaks like we said we were going to. What a job!!

We ripped the engine out friday night and removed the upper and lower sump, and the front timing cover.

Cleaned all the old sealant off and washed the surfaces up.

post-17897-0-44530600-1336896705_thumb.jpg

Re-sealed everything and whacked it all back together.

Saturday we also ditched the backwards-spinning turbo and fitted our new one! Its a KINUGAWA TD06SL2-20G! Nice external gate 3" vband rear which suited us perfectly.

We sourced a Turbosmart 38mm gate as well and that went on too, after realising the manifold flange for it wasnt flat we had to machine that flat too.

Dropped the motor back in and I made a new DUMB pipe to suit the new turbz. Love using vbands theyre so much easy to work with.

Today got it running again and ran some cooling system cleaner through everything as we found alot of gunk in the cooling system when we removed the engine.

We also got FLUTTERZ!!!..bro.

Next is wheel sizing and some body work.

So we have another update! Lots happening! Lots of pics!

Last weekend we got alot of painting done! Jambs, insides of doors and hatch, roof, mirrors are all done.

We set up a temporary paint booth in my garage to minimise overspray going on everything in the garage..

post-17897-0-24274900-1349054366_thumb.jpeg

We started off with all the orange to be painted on the car:

Masked up ready for paint

Then we moved onto painting the doors, hatch and petrol cap inside.

Then on Sunday we continued on to the roof. He had to do a few little repairs and primer before it was ready to paint. We also had to prime the rocker cover because it was a bit too ratty to paint.

We also cut the bonnet vent out (thanks Paul for the freebie!) and prepped it for black paint too.

post-17897-0-29526500-1349054825_thumb.jpg

The roof turned out really well! Very shiny! Were very happy with it. It has alot of dust and crap in it but as long as its shiny thats what matters. The finish is really good. Not bad for first timers!!

post-17897-0-33970700-1349054969_thumb.jpg

Doors back on and rubbers and other stuff back in

post-17897-0-13002700-1349055300_thumb.jpg

We got alot done and really happy with the results. Getting closer now!

More bodywork coming up soon.

Who are these mugs?

Man that seems sooo long ago now! Can't believe this build has been going for over 3 years now haha.

Body work is coming along nicely. Hopefully the whole back of the car will be orange by the time the weekend is over. Prep work sucks... but it's good to see the progress.

      R34 Diff oil

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      R34 Diff oil

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
