as You can see the oil squirters go back in with the billet block

then I threw the sump on with a brand new set of bolts,

 

something I have noticed is if you use a billet block, you need to invest in some bottoming taps as the blind threads have not been cut deep enough

fitted the ac compressor and shifted it forward onto where the power steering belt used to run

fitted the new passenger side mount, hopefully I won’t be breaking this one in a hurry

fitted a nismo mount on the drivers side, I know they’re probably just stock ones but I had it so I fitted it

From my personal experience, the Nismo engine and box mounts are definitely stiffer, not ridiculous but noticeable none the less.

The box mount improved shifter feel in the 34 to me, I guess by taking some vibrations out.

Nice mate, she's looking good!!!!

I just bought one of the PRP a/c compressor relocation kits too.  Sorry I should read back and/or remember but are running electric p/s now?

Yes, I fitted an astra power steering pump in the boot when I put the single turbo on, I looked at a few options of using the original but wasn’t happy with any of it and just chose to get rid of it

I guess the verdict is still out, it could have just felt stiffer because they were new but then again they could actually be different

Spose it’s a bit like changing 25 year old suspension bushes that are cracked and flogged.l with factory ones. All of a sudden it feels like a new car.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
