Sounds like it's all coming together now!

I'll be interested to see your paint results with the PPG mix, as my car is also currently under the gun using PPG. Hopefully it's a quality, robust paint.

Any ETA of turn key?

Im hoping I get it back this week. Then we rip out the rb20 next week. May paint the bay again next week end and remove the hicas lines. So turn key sometime next next week for the rb26

I know who he is on here... ahhh so frustrating! Car may be painted tomorrow as they wet rubbed it today.. those rails are the final piece of the puzzle

well the guy with the rails messaged back yesterday.. saying hes really sorry. they have been sent and he will follow it up on monday
well see how it all goes

anyway.
door jambs painted.

OMGGTR (george) came past with his scary torque wrench (that kept on making f**king sounds every time i went near it. must be an arab alarm) and bolted the head down and did the timing!

Unfortuate about the hand!

Have you found any weathershields yet? I haven't had a look at the coupe ones yet, but was gunna see if they could be modified to fit a sedan door?

Don't bother getting coupe ones, they're different in length, body lines are different.

I found out when I bought a pair thinking its same between coupe and sedan.

Either searching for used pairs or buy new ones from Nissan/amayama.

    • Pete knows these cars well, he does my car too, if he was concerned about the traction arm length for your use he would have said so. Do you have adjustable bushes in that arm, maybe he got enough adjustment there (or maybe the bump steer was not material for your use of the car)
    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
