OK finially some progress and some new pictures, Have sorted out the wiring. and all the plumbing on the 26. god there is alot you dont need!

Aircon compressor removed, rb26 power steering pump removed and the rb20 bolted into place. (conveniently fits using the standard mounting location of the air conditioning compressor)

Front pipe has turned up, still waiting on AFM's and hks hard intake kit. But the thing really slowing me down is the VRS kit, will seriously hurt somebody if this shit doesnt turn up soon! As soon as it gets here the motor will be redy to have clutch bolted on and motor dropped into place.

All the engine covers have been nicely painted aswell. Here is some pics, also one of my new workbench :)

(actually just reallised i didnt take one of the actuall work bench so i will get onto that in the next few days )

Whole front of motor is finished

Cam seals

N1 oil pump

Water pump

crank seal

new idler bearing

new tensioner and spring

Gates timing belt

hmm think thats the whole front? Was starting to get super angry as i realised i got sent 3 crank seals instead of one crank and two cam seals... turns out cam seals are same part number as crank seals in 32 gtr's haha :)

Still waiting on vrs, and waiting for my standard manifolds and dumps to get painted in that black heat proof stuff. Should tidy it up a bit.

Then only thing left is rear main seal and bolt clutch/flywheel up and drop it in

Wiring is allready finished. Then just mod front pipe to fit my existing 3" cat back system and two cooler pipes and bam back on the road :)

Also found out i got a nice surprise turbo wise with my front cut, .60 - .64 turbos, There either N1 or Nismo Group A turbos. Pretty happy bout that

Car is finially finished and running, honestly cant stress enough if you want something done right do it your f**king self. only outsourced one part of the build and it put me behind 3 weeks and cost me more money

but 10psi for a week or so, a second oil and filter change. some dyno time to check afrs after that and happy days.

And some new semi slicks tomorrow morning! happy days, words cannot express how it felt to drive it out of the garage for the first time in 4 months!

    • Curious to why you're not getting Jesse to do the exhaust, seeing that he has just done 2 GTRs with Aes valves.
    • What extra parts are you thinking you'll need to run e85 compared to e30?
    • I'm not aware of e30 in Australia, but I'm pretty sure e85 is still around. You really want a setup with an ethanol sensor so you can run any mix of ethanol depending on what you can access. Fuel Check NSW app shows 14 site in sydney metro with e85. What are you adding, will you put in bigger turbs too? Apparently the wastegates are pretty small and can't bypass enough as you run more boost.  I'm sticking to 1.3 bar with 98 on the standard turbos with my tune on advice from the tuner, and boost drops significantly in the top end; apparently larger turbos with larger wastegates are needed to get anywhere meaningful from there.
    • Amazing work Duncan! It is never easy to pick up someone elses project and work all the parts out that are missing
    • Hey Ppl,   I am about to tuned my Infiniti Q60 with E-85 and if you can tell me some location where I can top up my car that would be great.   But my other question, is E-30 available because this tuned requires less mods parts and any info you can offer would be greatly appreciated too!!
