Torana Lx Gtr Hatch, Lots Of Pictures

[turbo76lx]

Made up a second catch can/windscreen washer bottle and also a power steering reservoir.

I plan on running two catch cans, one on the drivers side retuning to the PVC and to the sump and the

second on the passengers side returning to the inlet of the turbo and the sump as well.

I'll be able to hide the boost control valve and windscreen washer pump in the cavity under the tank.

Damn that looks nice and tidy in there.

This car deserves better than matt/satin/whatever black.

Why not paint it MNP3 - to give a lil hint as to what lurks beneath

Nice project, I'm doing the same thing to my torana in the rear end, just wondering could I use r34 rear sub frame? Or which model sub frame is ideal? Thanks

[turbo76lx]

I used the R33 sub frame, I think the R34 sub frame is the same.

Small update, welded up the intake pipe and return from the synapse diverter valve to the intake.

Don't think I will use the air box I made.

Also trying to work out a bonnet hinge, going to make some in the style or R33 boot hinges.

These are just some pieces of flat bar to work out the lengths of the links and where the pivot points will be.

Should be able to make the bonnet swing up 90 deg.

[taylorl34]

With the BC coil overs in the rear end, were they a different length to std skyline? An who did you get them through?

Just finished reading this thread from start to current (won't say end just yet!)

Awesome fabrication and dedication. Absolutely un-fuc.king belieavable!

[Adz2332]

have you estimated the man hours that have been put into this project up till now?

[GH05T]

eleventy hundred?

[turbo76lx]

Hi guys, I stopped counting the hours months ago.

[turbo76lx]

Got the bonnet hinges made but still need some work. Will probably use a combination on small gas struts on the hinges and a bonnet stay to keep it up.

[gtr judd]

Looking nice and tidy mate, well done

[turbo76lx]

Bit of an update, brought some wheels, crossfire D-spec 18x9.5 also brought some hardrace rear arms. Started extending the sump

and filling in the bottom of it to hopefully help oil return.

Little bit of stick out.

[gtr jet]

Can't wait to see what it looks like with tyres on it sitting on the ground.

[Adz2332]

will you be running the flares?

If so what size rims are you going on the rear?

Having trouble working out sizes for my torana
