What's the colour? How many Km's?

Were you the first owner?

If your not willing to post pics don't expect to sell it fast.

Pretty sure he's not trying to sell it mate or it would be posted in the for sale section not the forced induction section asking for advice...

once he finds out the expense of the band-aids, screw drivers, duct tape, deodorant and WD-40

he'll be compelled to sell.

I have just finished my R32 Rb26 into R33 gtst, was good fun, lots of tears and didnt have the convenience of a half cut. I had to use Rb25 engine mounting brackets, might need those not sure if they are compatible with xmember? I know a guy in brissy who did my loom, send it to him he sends back modified to work, he is good and cheap BH_SLO32 on here. I definately agree with the above crank collar or atleast a new oil pump and check the collar. I just rebuilt.

I'm doing a simular thing tho into a BMW I just changed the head gasket and re dis water pump just a general maiternance service I didn't bother with oil pump and it all looks good but I had the luck to see motor running before being removed. A new set of bearings wouldn't hurt either

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
