i used james race engines, i cant recommend those guys enough
they picked it up and dropped it off, kept me up to date, informed and explained every thing to me and made sure i understood, and really made me feel important.
the biggest wow is the quick turn around time, Hedley and Scott dont muck around one bit!

Not much so far. Cleaned the cold side and mocked it up.

Bolted the oil pump on.

Also, if your cars never had an oil pump change. Change it. Old pumps gear was cracked! Time bomb!

Yep pretty scary considering so many cars are out there with unopened engines. Might finish cleaning the cold side tomorrow and bolt everything up :) cannnnnnotttt wait until we put it in

New pump was always on the cards for mine. 170k on it and oil pressure was shithouse . New pump fixed it. $400 for the pump ex Nissan . Labour was the killer on it though.

Well that was a waste of time and money then.

So hell bent on getting a R32 GTB Replica Twin Turbo happening with full wide guards etc.

    • For something like this, I'd skip just going for the cheapest, I'd find the place with the best experiences people have had, especially for restoration work. Like everything, there is upholsterers, and then there is upholsterers. Some really great upholsterers for automotive restos won't even appear to have an online presence.   My guide would be find some of the old school classic cars that have been fully restored and are immaculate, and ask the people who own them who did the work on their seats
    • Might be tricky matching the seat trim material  If your got the funds you "may" want to get the rear re-trimed as well to match the front
    • How much is it to re-uploster?  Well that's a "how longs a piece of string?" question !  And I answer thusly: "twice half its length! " . . . . . .  Seriously you'll have to chase multiple quotes for that one from different uphlostrerereres !  Ask around, in your area and on the forums, chase reviews and most of all see the finished product in person cause photoshop is a wonderful thing !
    • Hey everyone!!  I've noticed that whenever I do my oil changes, after putting 4L in, the oil level sits at the top mark in the dipstick. This is after letting the old oil drain for a very long time too! I've checked the oil level daily for the past few mornings. It happens every time and it's confusing because all the threads say that it should take about 4.7L (With some just adding the full 5L) My next thought is to figure out if the dipstick I have is correct so could someone please tell me the length of the RB25DET engine oil dipstick?  I've checked images of some of the genuine dipsticks, but none of them have the length in it. https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-engine-oil-level-dipstick-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-stagea-c35-laurel-y34-cedric-gloria-rb25de-t-neo?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOortQXofgmiHVRKuIaiKuygL4k0Ewp68c3isGZk0vvKOJ7Yqf3iB However.... the engraving on the genuine ones say 05002 while mine says AA000. This makes me believe that maybe I have a wrong dipstick? I just want to confirm before I buy a new one. The car is a fresh import from Japan so I don't have details of the previous owner to ask him. Thanks in advance 🙏🏾 
    • Sport. I didn’t rebleed it cause I just removed the slave and left connected.    I will change line and slave and see how it goes.
