Thats the plan... Import engine being delivered tomorrow. Waiting for a new red hose kit, and lightweight pulleys to be delivered. New timing kit has arrived, new nismo engine mounts, and a new 56mm core aluminium radiator already delivered...

So we have stuff in play.... This weekend will be all about prepping the engine for fitment and painting the accessories etc...

Ok, the new engine has been delivered, and prep work on it has started.

Cam covers have come off in favour of a set painted in super clear red.

Oil pump has come off to do the front seal.

Turbo has been swapped out for the one from the previous engine as it has been rebuilt.

All the old turbo guards etc have come off and been cleaned up ready to paint.

The old intake manifold and plenum has been prepped and painted.

The new 18 hose kit has arrived.

The new red alloy pulleys have arrived.

Now Pics - cos it did happen...

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
