Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

i suggest to change the oil pump too ,

my r34 motor oil pump died on me at 8000 rpm at 620hp to the wheel, u dont want that to happen to u and need to take the motor out again :)

Yep, no way I am taking that risk!!

I think the brand new Tomei oil pump was one of my first additions to the ever growing parts pile...

Must have missed putting a photo or two up of it...will get onto that ASAP

A few more additions below:

1. Hi Octane cam cover baffles

2. Hi Octane Racing custom oil/air separator (still 1 x fitting to be added + painting)

Reimax oil pump gears in the standard pump is a great option too

Never really got time to look into this option. Mechanic said get the Tomei pump or otherwise dry sump it!! Brand new Tomei pump came up at an unreal price so that was that...

Looking good, Welsh plugs - all new - yes? and all hoses, under inlet all new - yes? You don't want to be playing under that side after!

Ha these are probably the last two items on my list! Have been struggling with part number for hoses under plenum for weeks...

Another critical item complete!

Capacity increased to 8L whilst retaining standard pick-up and sump depth

Looks promising...great to see you playing out your vision! When you expecting to turn the key? :cheers:

Ah cheers Steve. Motor is currently going back together and MAYBE will be done by EOY, but that's a BIG maybe...really trying not to rush any aspect of the build

I think she have come a long come the end of Jan..but turn key may not be until March at earliest..will depend on paint work progress

Haven't got too much left to get ordered/sorted so starting to get excited!!

think i know where this car is. did you buy a remote off me at sone point?

Chris, not sure what you mean mate, I haven't bought a remote from you...?

Few more parts to add to the pile:

1. gktech Solid rear subframe bushes

2. gktech billet hicas cancel bar

3. gktech solid steering shaft spacer

Who are you using to rebuild motor?

PM sent

Thought I should share the most important piece of my build design concept:

IMG_5838.JPG

I came across this old school metal HKS emblem in a local Jap wreckers and got it thrown in with a Nismo flywheel (which is now subsequently not not needed and is FOR SALE - PM me for details) I purchased...

I have always loved the signature colours of HKS (green & purple) and have used this emblem as a basis for my complete engine bay design and with the car in general...

Will let the photos do the talking...updates coming soon

They happen to have anymore of those stickers? Possibly without the yellow background?

Haha GOLD background you mean?! I wish man...this was the only one and I was frothing ha, right place right time!

Just read your build thread. Nice write up man, way to keep the suspense.

Its refreshing to see people giving to original Godzilla the attention they well deserve :)

Cheers Tim. Haha yeah doing my best to keep you guys interested...hopefully will live up to my expectations

      The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????

      Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".

      appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off

      And boosters can be rebuilt by the same sort of brake shops that will rebuild a brake booster.
