Modified gearbox crossmember to a solid mount setup with just a thin layer of hard rubber to reduce a little vibration, also a brand new 2 piece tailshaft to suit welllll over 1000hp, made by gibsons at edgeworthpost-60275-0-89657900-1416170430_thumb.jpeg

Exaust has started, all will be made out of stainless, 4" dump into twin 2.5" straight to the rear.post-60275-0-60908300-1416172369_thumb.jpeg

Decided to make the screamer come out the fender because we could and didnt really have much room to go down because the 4" dump.post-60275-0-80481900-1416172703_thumb.jpeg

sceamer and dump will be hi temp coated and wrapped, also need to make a heat shield for the brake master.

size wise in the tunnel is sweet, if anything the bell housing is slightly smaller than an rb box, only thing is its places the shifter slightly further back and have to chop a bit out of the top of the tunnel. in my opinion the rb shifter sat to far forward and always found myself kind of stretching for 1st and 3rd so I like where it sits now. ill get a photo of in the next couple days.

yer wasn't really hard getting the jz to fit either.

Just some photos of the lobster back work on the exhaust by Stav Fab and Fitting.

And the wiring begins! It is made a whole lot easier with the help of a brand new engine harness and sub chassis harness from Chasebays in America. You can choose what engine, injectors, ecu and chassis you have to make it easier. I chose the race sub chassis harness as I'm only going to be running head lights, harzards, Windows, wipers and fuel pumps.

Alrighty guys, been pretty busy with renovating with my brother over the last month and a half but im back into it.

Car is currently off getting the cage done, wiring is probably about half way, will be getting painted over the next few week's, and then just a few bits and pieces to finish her off.

Aiming for a drift day down at Wakefield on the 6th April, will definitely be pushing it to get there but fingers crossed.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
