My New 32 :)

[Tenny]

So. Another long weekend it's been. Good to finally get some stuff done though.

After much mucking around on the engine, we discovered that the knock sensors etc had been damaged broken..plus alot of the misc hoses and such were missing.

Also found out im losing my job relatively soon due to government changes blabla so needed to get this car on the road ASAP. Had a mate selling a complete engine which would make things so much easier, so decided to pick up that.

Pulled the gearbox, clutch, flywheel and all the new parts off the old motor straight away ready for this weekend.

Also acquired an RB25 45V2 turbo this week which we bolted straight on. Unfortunately we wasted about 3 hours trying to find some copper crush washers for the turbo water lines. Supercheap, Repco, autobarn, bunnings didn't have anything at all.....last place we tried, Masters...had the exact size and pretty much any washer you could want. So if anyone is chasing special bits like that, Masters is actually pretty decent.

After spending a few hours bolting everything on, making sure everything was right we rolled the motor out to give it a good flush out as it had been sitting for a while.

Next thing was to put it in...the big moment.

Wasn't the easiest thing to do with just two people, but wasn't that difficult either. Just making sure you don't hit anything was the hardest part haha.

And.....it's in!

So good to finally have some visible progress, just gotta keep plodding along.

Next up is going to be wiring..which is gonna be the fun part...

Which reminds me, I have an apexi AVCR that came with my loom, but im missing the Boost sensor that it supposed to come with it.

Does anyone have one lying around they wanna get rid of? would rather not pay $85 for a new one but might just have to.

Next on the list:

Engine / body looms connected

hydraulic lines etc

Radiator hooked up

FMIC installed and cooling pipes set up etc

HICAS delete

Just want to be able to turn the key already!
