My Laurel C33!

[DJRIFT]

The spigot bush goes into the end of the crank. Old one out new one in.

Bolt flywheel on. Flywheel bolts are 110-120 ft/lbs

I have an old input shaft I can lend you to line up te clutch plate as you bolt on the pressure plate. This saves a world of pain. Pressure plate bolts are about 30ft/lbs

Don't forget to put the dust plate on behind the flywheel.

Box in job done.

here are some pictures of the manifold ive cut to try and get it back straight and it seemed to work but is still sitting down slight in the middle but i am betting when i got to bolt it up it will come right fingers crossed anyway...

done my hand break tonight was a lot easier then what i thought it was gonna be i used a r32 handbreak and the front part of the r32 cable with the tailshaft out and Center console out and the carpet is already pre cut from factory and you just pull it back and cut it away and youll see a oval hole in the top of the tunnel from underneth there is a plate covering the hole i drilled out 2 spot welds and pulled the plate off and there was your bolt holes and big hole for your cable to poke down through the hole and i used 2 10mm bolts and nuts to hold the cable bracket done the r32 hand break cable has a bracket on the end of the first part of the cable you have to drill that off and it will fit right up in to the the laurel handbreak cable then all you have to do is drill the holes for the handbreak its self and work out where you want it its very easy

so over this weekend ive done some of my final things in my conversion ive refit everything on the turbo side and have bleed the clutch and feels

and today a friend come over just to have a look at the computer and everything on it as i wanted to see if it actually had a ems ecu like the guy i brought it off said as i looked at the ecu and seemed to look just like a factory one (G8) as my friend said it may be a patch inside the loom its self but we could not work out how it was going so good with just a stock computer and putting out so much power i then started to question the poncams and if it had any at all so we took the covers off to see what it had and was happy to see the tomei are real

he then looked at the timing and said he was shocked as it was fully advanced and it can be really dangerous to the motor i dont really understand any of it and how it works as the car drove fine when it was auto i thought maybe some one else could tell me more about it??? and why it would be like this the 2 photos show what he looked at and now i worry

bit of news on the car the past 3 weeks its up in damos shed (DJRIFT) having wiring fixed and the manual gearbox rewired we had our ups and downs with the manifold after finding the mild steel manifold i brought pushed the dump pipe across to much so the turbo wouldn't fix and ended up staying with the stainless manifold after dr damo come to the conclusion that it was not the manifold that was at fault but the gasket as i was using a multilayer type that everyone seems to speak so highly of but the layer are held together with small rivets and that was holding the manifold out just to make it leak so i went and got a factory nissan one as directed by damo and the factory one are alot thicker spent the rest of the time pulling the manifold on and off because of stripping the thread on of the head but ended up getting it on and nice and tight and started the car was amazed NO MANIFOLD LEAK wiring for the gearbox was done horn and high beams fixed so i can pass pits with it then had a look at the steering as ever since i got it had very heavy steering like there was no power steering after looking it to it more found that from factory the club L laurels have a sporty steering on/off switch in the cab but never seemed to do anything when i flicked it and damo was about to power the unit up that controlled the steering and was like magic steering felt amazing just how it should he then wired it in to the ignition and works perfect now... Soo now its almost there just need new turbo and a tune get rid of that shit ebay one and get the car regoed was think of getting a quick and cheaper tune by fuletech just for now till ive saved up for the new turbo and dyno tune im happy to say its 70% done!!!
