Have had some issues with oil going to the head at high RPM, nitto head drain is now installed also a vent from the sump to the top of the catch can, restrictors in head etc, also the original ASR sump I fitted to the car was for a VL which fouled on my front swaybar.

Future plans-

Over the next couple of weeks the motor will be coming out again to replace with correct sump.

tidy up a lot of wiring in the interior of the car.

pretty much just tidy everything up and check right over the car and get it ready for skyline nationals at the end of October.

Wow solid motor, imagine it had a turbo on it... hmmmmmmmmm

been working on the car a bit this weekend, cleaned up the usual 31 rust spots under front guards, its actually the first time I've had the front guards off the car since I've owned it.

stripped it all right back, etch primed and painted and seam sealed

Has been a while since my last update,
have recently aquired an rb25 box brand new,
ive also had my diff rebuilt with 4.11 pintara gears,
also bought but not yet installed a new speedo and pinion due to new geatbox not coming with one.
Bought and installed a new hydro handbrake mount and BMC stopper from RB factory.
And bought a solid tube and fittings to bypass the old heater lines from the back of the thermostat to the back of the block
Also took the car out for a spin to the local show n shine, got a day permit for the car, was good to get a feel for things again but was very limited to how hard i could drive the car on the street, all in all was a fun day
