Very lucky, So what's going on, is he providing another head or is he just using a bigger head gasket (which has its downsides)?

Giving me another head and swapping my supertech valves etc. into it

He's got that many of them it's just "easier" that way

What's going on with your sump?

I bought a custom made 10 litre with reco'd diff and some swanky baffle/pickup shit about it.

Was going single stage external oil pump (have the pump and ross balancer) but now sticking with the nitto. Was gonna lose air con to it.

Gross. Good choice though, stupid easy to spin a bearing with these and stock sumps. 

Edit: Does it all fit actually? With the 4WD adapter plate and then a much larger sump

He seems to think it will. The sump is wider rather than deeper I think

How's your beast going these days

Yeah it's next up on the chopping block, I've modified all the intake and exhaust manifolds to work... just gotta get that bearings put in and I can start bolting it all together once again, give me a month or two :P

A month or two in car terms is years...

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
