Ordering turbo smart race port gen V. Was going to run one on either side of intercooler piping. You recon one on the turbo side will be enough.

One on the cold side (post intercooler) will be plenty. This is how I run it. Similar location to the 2xstock ones albeit with custom piping.

Hello. Sorry it's been a while since I have updated the build. With this constant "we are open and or closed" in every state, parts are getting delayed. Was hoping to have it running in October. Now I'll be lucky to see it this year. But I did get a nice surprise from powertune today. 

Bosch 82mm DBW throttle.

Gear position sensor 

Holinger strain guage.

Haven't had anything to write about for a while. Yesterday had a large delivery if parts from Golbys. It's been a 4 month wait but things are starting to move forward again.

Also learned that my OS88 gearbox, OS quad plate clutch and JUN plenum have arrived in Australia. So I hope to have them by the end of this month.

Still waiting for PWR radiator but car is booked in for 29th of November to have everything fitted and start running the engine in. Might do a full noise run this year.

Wow, Santa has been kind to you! Best part of any build for me is the accumulation of nice bits.

I enjoy it that much I've even bought shit twice! 

Look forward to seeing it all come together for you.

Ha ha, I wish!  It’s because I’m married that it’s so long between each time I’m allowed buy stuff that I forget I’ve already bought it!  That’s actually entirely untrue.  It’s because I buy so many parts that I don’t realise I’ve already bought them! I just buy shit with reckless abandon!  If I was as good at fitting parts as I was at buying them I’d be done years ago! 😅

Hello everyone.

Yesterday was a busy day. OS88 has arrived. So has the quad plate clutch, the JUN GT intake manifold with throttle body. That last one will be going up for sale as I have since gone for a DBW throttle.

Removed and packed up the transfer case to go to TSS for a service/check over and a full strengthening package.

Would like to the JDM Garage for being able to help with parts with all of the troubles they have gone through. Glad to hear they are running bigger and better then ever. Will definitely use them again.

Also advance thanks to The Skyline Shed for being able to squeeze my work in on such short notice. 

Car will be covered with appreciation sticker for everyone who helped me.

Transfer case all rebuilt and on its way to Perth. That's the last of the parts until I do the axles, diffs and shafts later in the year. Once again a huge thank you to The Skyline Shed.

Just read the thread, coming along nicely, great build, look forward to seeing this one finished, I’m in the middle of a build myself, well middle is being generous, probably closer to start, gearbox was, and still is to some extent a big dilemma for me, sequential is a must, after speaking to numerous people I came down to either OS88 or Holinger, right now I’m set on Holinger, but haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet. 
All the best moving forward and keep the updates coming 👍🏼

I have had a number of people tell me that os88 is very rough and old school. Maybe. Plenty of people have run 8s on them and still use them daily. Plus you can pick them up for less then a 6 speed getrag and it will fit straight in. 

Im just waiting to put everything in. My builder has had some staff and booking issues. Was meant to be running it in now and racing in Feb. May make it to Cooda in April.

Have you got a build thread here?

Yes, title is ‘GTR, I just got one’ or something like that, I really need to update it with the direction I’m taking the car, it more follows the evolution of the car then an outright build, although it is now going through a nut and bolt restoration. I was running a 30/26 with a 68/70 turbo, was a really nice combo, had a few issues when it was last finished and I was going to sort it but a motor came up, similar to yours, JHH built , but 2.7 in an N1 block with JHH raceport head, was built using a new block and new head. 
so rather then sink more money into sorting out the old set up I took it out, sold the motor and started what I’m into now. Was supposed to be engine out, paint the bay, new motor in and tune… didn’t work out that way. Lol

By far the most exciting day of the build. Filled the car full of parts and its going on a truck on Wednesday to finally get put together. Maybe I should start a poll on what the first and the final hub power figure will be.

Well progress is slow but it’s progress non the less. Engine is now in 1 piece and sump has the extension on it. Have engineer coming tomorrow to confirm a few details to make sure that the car will make it over the pits ok.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
