Spread Yo Cheeks And Lift Yo Sack... Imma teach you how to build a ER34 son!

The silver looks magic. Why didnt you ask for twin gates? I got this done for my S15, a bit more complicated when it comes to fabwork but a better result i.m.o.

If it's split to the gate like the Sinco manifolds then there is 0 difference.

Find out how much better of a deal you can get if you order 2x Sinco manifolds.

I'm after the T3 twin scroll, single 50mm gate for RB25 (you should go twin scroll too haha). 6 boost ones are nearly bullshit twin scroll. If you look carefully it's not split all the way to rhe gate.

I can let you know. But I won't be ordering shit again till I move house.

I've managed to secure another property today so I reckon I'll order around this time next month. But I don't know if that means we'll get them before xmas/new year?

I was going to get a 50mm twin scroll in that stainless burn finish. Works out the same price as ceramic coating+6 boost and it looks like you get such a better finish!

On another note! Mick has finished his puzzle and I need to get that picked up, Put it on a pallet with everything else I got. Organize the gary for the new joint and move!

I can't vibe with the silver. I am going for a nice black everything, Keep it simple clean look.

The sinco should also see me good for the single 50mm.

Woohoo! Skids! 

Don't worry, I'm in no hurry. This is for a future setup lol. I need to finish off my current build. I still owe Hypergear data that I've promised him about 2 years ago

Well packed up the garage today for the move and picked up the motor today too!

For those wondering;

CP 86.5mm Forged pistons
Tomei Poncam Type B (260 Degree 9.15mm Lift)
New valves (Brand unknown, Mick organized them for me as I didn't have the ability to address the concern when it arose)
N1 oil pump w/ Nitto oil pump gears
N1 water pump
Nitto crank collar
Nitto head gasket
Oil Restrictors

Slapped on the good old tyre+pallet combo. Not really bothered to put it on an engine stand as Ill be moving over the next fortnight or so.

On the plus side, My new garage is huge! (By my standards) and I have found all my sockets except my 15mm short...

[Vodkashotx]

Well it's been a tonne of work but I finally have most of my stuff finally at my new place.

Much larger and much nicer garage! So much space for activities!

[SeanR32GtSt]

This all looks terrific.

First time I have had a couple of hours to work on her, Managed to make up the TPS adaptor (which is shit and I am going to re-do asap), Fit the idle control valve, Fit up in the injectors, Fit fuel rail, Fit fuel pressure reg, Fit intake manifold, Fit throttle body, Run coolant lines etc. Finally getting some work done to her!!!

I need to buy myself an oil cooler, Coolant hose kit, Some fuel line and vacuum line so I can finish off this side of the motor and move on over to the next.

In the mean time I might paint up the rocker covers something different.

Having more work space is probably the best thing ever!

What throttle cable are you going to use?

Can you clock the tb 180 to get the cable to run on the outside

I'll just make something up, Shouldn't be too difficult.

[Vodkashotx]

So finally got around to getting a manifold. After the sickening experience of 6boost figured it would be best I just get someone to make what I want.

Clocked the TB as per Neo's advice, Got the dude that made the manifold to split the pulse as per Dose's advice too!

Wondering if anyone knows if I've taken a bad source of coolant for the turbo? (Last image, Where it goes to the manifold)

damn R34 GTT's are cool

This is also cool, following for sure

[Vodkashotx]

Nothing exciting

Remember kids, Try to be sober when working on the car. I forgot to lay the clear down...
(In my defense I have 4 kids and I am usually either working on her in 10 minute windows or at night when everyone's asleep)

I feel like I'm hitting a bit of a wall again with so much going on in life, Just gotta remember why I am doing this and keep an eye on the prize. It's been 3 days since I said I would drop the box and do the push/pull conversion, service the box and refit but the heart just isn't there right now.

Does anyone have pics of their alternator/AC/Power steering/ancillaries setups? It's been a while since I took this all apart and I just want to make sure I have not forgotten anything.

I stalked your red one before you sold it, I thought it was really hot; Made me want a red one!

[oxford1327]

when you put the cams in what other bits did you have to replace? shims,buckets,seats, springs etc or was it a complete new setup?

am pondering on fitting some poncams to my neo, but i wanna get an idea of total parts required so i can suss out the cost before i commit.

Complete new setup bud, But honestly; I would have just dropped them in if I wasn't rebuilding the whole motor. There was no real need to complete rebuild; It was just a measure I decided to take to ensure some sorts of longevity out of the motor considering it's application.

Here's a photo of a NEO motor with R33 ancillaries bracket (the AC/PS pump were both cable tied on the body so I wouldn't need to regas lol)

You legend! I swear back in the day it was easy to find photos of this shit, Now days everything has been lost from imageshack/photobucket and all that other shit we thought would still be around!

Side note; Not sure if buyers regret. But I have been staring at the rims a lot thinking I made the wrong decision. Always loved the rim but I don't know if it will work with the car.

Peoples thoughts?  Sell them or use them?

I feel like it would need more width and lower offset to pull this style rim off but that would also mean a wide body and another 10k thrown at the car+re barrelling.

You'll pull it off, with power to back it up.

None of this bullshit aero and phat wheels for car park meets and Instagram likes ?

[Vodkashotx]

I dunno, The more I stare at them, The more they start to look like;



Is it in my head from staring at them?
