Dose pipe installed, should dose pretty good :)

Last night, connected up all of the harness, re-pinned the CAS connector, and installed a new VCT plug to suit the R34 NEO head.

Next big challenge is to make all the oil lines for the oil relocator and oil cooler.

Overnight parts from Australia. This should help me blow the gear box faster!

It already grinds 2nd, 3rd, 4th and the input shaft has heaps of free play.

Throw some redline lightweight shockproof in her and she will be alright

might have to till the box goes boom lol...

from there, well I am not sure.. these are my options:

  • New OEM Box, use it till it goes boom again
  • CD009 Conversion
  • PPG helical set

Started it on 14 month E85 lol... (dw cuz, has ethanol stabiliser in it)

Primed the oil first till it dribbled out of the relocator, plugged in the CAS and to my surprise it actually fired! I roughly rescaled the injectors on my old map and flattened out the timing as I now have no idea where peak torque would/could be made on this motor.

As of last night (after the car starting) all fluids are topped up and will take it for a light spin tonight. I've filled up the entire tank with 44L of 98RON, so might take it for a lap tonight and dump the oil before I start to push it a bit :)

Close to it so many times, believe me.

However if someone walked up right now and asked to trade for a N55 335i I would swap straight up.

    • 50k for an auto series 2 now. Does have a battery so probably adds a bit.
    • @GTSBoy Yeah i know. The RB20 has 180Nm torque and the gearbox "should" take up to 400Nm if you are not doing stuff like drag/drift or dumping clutch and of course then it is pure "luck" on how will it last. My problem is (i think i said this in different post) that my car was very badly maintain so i would not be suprised if the oil in the gearbox was not changed until i bought it. Yeah the gearbox seem little bit sad.   @Sxnjeet the +T seem very interesting but from where iam from it was nearly "impossible" to done right and not blow twice as money as just swap for the RB25.
    • Hi, I went to the MINES shop here and bought something.. Niikura-San just happened to be there so I managed to take some pics and got him to sign my dash surround thingy. Its still wrapped in plastic back home.. I was thinking how to preserve the signature??? Im sure someones thought of this and done this in the past.
    • Perfect - thanks Joshuaho96!  Will see what I can source.
    • If the plastic wore, the paint will wear quicker. Heck, most car manufacturers cant keep the coatings they put on their buttons/trims alive these days for more than 5 years... A cheap paint won't do it!   However, you can get away with high quality vynil wrap, primarily in areas that won't cop much abuse. Skip colour matching, and just try and wrap a specific area with an edge in a new colour.   PS vynil wrapping is a prick of a job, and I suck at it, even for a small dead flat surface...
