That does look nice. Was it just a rattle can red?

Have you read the last page at all?

[RBN1]

Wasn't an off the shelf colour. "BD03 Candy Red 2KA solid" is what i have written on the invoice. They made the colour and canned them for me. The cam covers are small enough that you can get away with using cans.

Yeah, and nowhere does it say what type of application it was, just that he did it himself . Could have used an air compressor and a gun so I was curious. Thanks for your useful reply though.

Ah righto, thanks mate, looks the goods

Sorry mate I had a douchebag moment this morning.

Haha, no worries, no love lost

[RBN1]

Motor all assembled now.

Plenum blasted and repainted+glossed. Nismo 600cc injectors in.

-9's, HKS Actuators and Tomei dump pipes all on.

Brakes have arrived

Shiny

[RBN1]

And…….it's in!

New Splitfires & Coilpack Harness. Stock Airbox with Snorkel (Blitz Filter)

Front brakes are on. Red calipers should match nicely with the road TE37's.

Racepace 9L Extended Sump - Baffled With Trap door.

Replacement Transmission also in - OS Giken twin plate has been replaced with a new Nismo Coppermix Twin Plate Competition clutch.

Turn key was yesterday so am looking forward to going in this weekend for a geezer.

Nice one man!

It's gonna be epic!

When is Chris going to tune it?

When is Chris going to tune it?

The current front pipe might be a bit restrictive for the -9's so have opted for a full Racepace 3.5" Exhaust. Might take 3 weeks to be ready with final tune. He may let me take it with an "interim" tune while the exhaust is being made so I can get some more work done on it. (get rest of cage out, replace interior trim etc)

I see!

Yeah, sound like a plan... Drive it on the "interim" exhaust to get the extra work done.

What power you aiming for again?

Aiming to max out the -9's on 98RON. Chris has let me know it should do around 330rwkw @20 PSI.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

Nice figure for street.

Very nice mate. Looks so very clean and super sexy with those engine covers painted.

There is just something about a freshly built engine sitting in place of the engine bay........just like pawn.

Cant wait to see more progress.

[gtr jet]

Looking good mate. Chris doesn't muck around getting the job done.

Can't wait to here your feed back on the brakes too.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Love the Red Cam Covers!

Looks great!

And the polished Plenum brightens up the engine bay so much more.

[Leroy Peterson]

looks terrific, exciting times

[RBN1]

Received word that car is now running and so far so good.

Gotta do some minor cosmetic work now that the shiny new motor is in

[RBN1]

Well what can I say. Massive milestone yesterday. Instead of just going in to checkout the car, Chris told me I could pick it up on an "interim" tune while the new RPM Exhaust is fabricated. RPM really don't stuff around when they start work on something.

Raised up & wheel alignment done to RPM specs. Chris tested it for me and it is actually a bit over 100mm now. Sweet.

After not driving it for 8 years, i've forgotten how small or rather snug these cars are.

R34 GTR Seats in, Cage Pulled Out.

Brakes - there is around 2cm measured gap between calliper and the 17" TE37's

Note this tune is just a temporary tune done so I can drive it around to get some work done on the interior etc.

Boost is set to 15PSI with timing pulled, standard front pipe only with old cat back exhaust.

*This is what RPM call an "Interim Tune"

*Interim Tune Only*
