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!

    • Sorry I think that must be another language thing, globe = light bulb
    • Man, you guys are like an all knowing encyclopedia.. how do you guys know how to fix everything?? but thanks. i will try to trace this wiring today. What is this globe thing you are referring too? Globe Power Supply? Are you referring to the light bulb?
    • Vinyl paint always ends up coming off interior trim and looking like arse. For the a pillar trims.....just try cleaning them with fabric shampoo? Maybe ditto for the headliner.
    • Hi everyone, I'm generally new to DIY projects, and I've browsed this forum and watched a lot of youtube videos but still have a few questions   Firstly, how does spray painting interior hold up? in particular like vinyl parts, my current mode of thinking is to use methyl spirits to take off original paint, clean/prep well, light coats, no primer or clear coat    Secondly, what is recommended for the headliner and, for example (my car is a r34), the A-pillars which are some kind of other fabric material, do you think I would be successful at retrimming these? or would it be better to go down the blacking out via Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint    Any other advice / tips / tricks for refreshing/modernising these interiors?    Thanks
    • As title says  Pm a photo with what u have  Type m style would be good As Hidding a thick front mount
