Yeah looks at home but now iv put the engine on the normal slant the rear turbo is hitting the abs unit and leaves no room for a dump so after pulling my hair out and destroying a manifold I'm having to bite the bullet and go a bigish single. So a t67 will be going on now I need a manifold which leaves me 2 optons I either make one from scratch or buy a cheap one and spend a few hours cleaning it up and re welding till I'm happy all comes down to time which Im short on. This weekend me and dori34 are going to crack the wip and get it to the point where its ready to only have to do the hot side. So this weekend will be wiring, drive shaft. Raidator install and hook up, connect needed vac and heater hoses, cold side cooler piping, install injectors, install seats and finally install sensors and gauges. It's a big list but should get it done with 2 blokes fingers crossed

There is but it's tight turbo would have to sit between cil 3&4 but the engine mount is there and the rack sits back 120mm then a skyline rack making it hard to get to the lower controll arm bolts. If top mounted it will sit between cil 1&2 or 2&3. Not sure how easy it would be to low mount a t67 and tial gate kinda need to buy the turbo before deciding

So next weekend I'm going to spend the whole weekend working on the girl bribed a mate with beer to do all the lock changes and few other bits. I'll be finishing off the bay hoping to get it to the point where it's only exhaust

I'm out of time and money needs around 2 g and it's done I'm devo plus someone stole all my gauges and a stainless manifold the other day so that puts me back there to. The plan was to keep the car sell the 26 buy a cheap 25 and I could finish it. My daily shat a motor today and tow costs and repairs near left me a g out of pocket with no car all while trying to tow a car so I'm stuck. If the 26 sells it will be finished if not will sit there till I have the money

Hahahahaha what happened to this car/project.........

Oh that's right BSA got kicked out of the unit he was living in and left the car sitting in the parking spot! Abandoned the car and left the real estate to clean up his mess.

What's happening with this build? Still going?

My current weekend car is a 98' E36 318is.

I was thinking of doing an individual throttle body kit on my car and rebuilding the motor with 3.2L M3 internals. Would be great fun with a high-revving 1.9L 4cyl making ~200hp.

What kind of coin is required to do the RB25 or the SR20 conversion? If it's cheaper by a long mark I may look down that avenue instead....

    • Think I found another reason to buy the Q50 rather than the skyline import, seems that unless you get the 400r the other models such as the GT miss out on the decent brakes and don't have the flappy paddles on the steering wheel to change gears. Its my day off work today and the Q50 listed @ the dealer in Brisbane that I mentioned in my 1st post looks like it sold as its listed as no longer available... Would have checked it out but can understand why it sold as it was a bargain price.
    • omfg.... That shopping list game. I'd hoped I'd never see it again.
    • There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.
    • That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
