yes.

okay, for the past few months i have been getting the motor to run right and pretty much cleaning the old girl up for a rwc

found a mint R32 GTR drivers seat thanks to my mate up in newcastle.

back onto the rwc issue. it is SO f**king hard to actually get one in victoria... the tester wanted all the interior trims to be put back in, but overlooked the 3" exhaust, stretched 225s and height. wtf

sup niggas.

no updates lately as i have been swamped with work.

at the moment the car is sitting tidy on the BBS RS'

i tried to get a dodgey rwc but no luck, so ill take it into the shop up the road and see what needs changing and change shit, then take it into epping kmart tyre and auto(they dont know shit about cars lol)

i have parted with the RB30 block.

reason being it wouldnt be worth building.

the alternative is across the ditch in the land of sheep f**kers.

yes, RIPS.

a forged RIPS short block would work out to be about 7.5k AUD excluding shipping and tax.

that includes stock balanced crank etc, collar, billet rods, pistons etc, blue printed, oil pumps.

so all i have to do is buy a head, reco it, throw in some cams, slap it on + turbos etc and tune it.

i know youre all dying for pics.

but ill be a cock tease and let you all wait till i do the feature and throw some pictures from there onto here.

yes, i said feature.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
