  1. Thought about doing that but did not want to have to spend $$$ on a new head gasket if it's going to be fine as it is. (was told it was running well before being taking out for a 25/30 conversion). If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. If that happens I may just buy a complete setup that I can see running and try and part out the current engine parts etc. But so far all seems well, engine turns over fine, has compression etc.oil was pretty dirty but nothing out of the ordinary so far.
  2. Long post here we come.... So this weekend I got my dad to come up and help me finally get some stuff on the engine done. first off we just cleaned the engine and got rid of a lot of the dirt and grease that had been caked on. Still not pretty but much better than it was. Next thing we did was put new seals onto the rocker covers and installed the half moon seals with a bit of silicon. Ran into a bit of trouble the first time round as I had grabbed the wrong size allen key heads (about 5mm too long). went down to supercheap and luckily they actually had the right size allen key bolt. Grabbed some washers while we were there as well. Next up we removed the rear main seal and did a bit of a clean up around that area. I noticed that the metal pipe there is bent up fairly bad. is that going to restrict oil / fuel flow (if that's what it is) at all? After the sun went down I got to work on sanding the coilpack cover back to metal for a new paintjob in the morning. I tell you..it's hard to get those corners around the bolts free of paint haha. I probably didn't try hard enough though. Coilpack cover after painting... installed the new rear main seal. Looking pretty good. Flywheel had a fair bit of surface rust on it so gave it a light sand back and it came up alright. Shouldn't cause any dramas anyway. Dd Did a bit of a cleanup on the clutch as well. A light sand on the pressure plate and it came up quite good. Didn't get any pictures though as it was a pain trying to line it up without an aligning tool haha. We then got the gearbox lined up and onto the the spline correctly. Also drained the sump and had no chunks or metal shavings! (engine condition is still totally unknown...just hoping for the best) Gearbox all bolted on We also installed new tensioner and idler bearings and a gates racing timing belt as well as the starter motor but no pictures of that sorry. Also, sorry for shitty post layout. I still haven't figured out how to make the pics smaller etc. So all in all, Got a little bit done this weekend. Would have liked to got all the other small pieces like timing covers, alternator, power steering pump, injectors, coilpacks etc on though. Next weekend we should hopefully be able to get all that stuff onto the engine and then perhaps start dropping it in. After that we will have to lift the back end up and remove the HICAS system and install a lockbar. Thanks for reading
  3. My new wheels got delivered today! CST Hyper zero 1 in 18x9 +30 all round.
  4. Hey guys. Want to purchase some new wheels this week (CST Hyper zero 1) in 18x9.5 or 18x9. According to autotechnik this is all that is available. 18 x 9 + 30 18 x 9.5 + 23 18 x 9.5 + 15 Car currently has 17x9 + 38 on the rear. I don't want to roll / flare the guards unless I really have to. Anyway hoping someone could help me decide what the best offset to get for both front and rear would be. Thanks guys
  5. I'm not totally sure yet. Depends on funds.. I was thinking emotion cr kai's but they are pretty damn expensive. To get it registered probably just get another pair of stockies or try and find a pair similar to what's on the back at the moment. Rota grids xxr 527 work sp1 emotion kai or maybe just some cheap shit that looks half decent. Yet to decide.
  6. So today I received my FMIC, radiator and some other parts which should allow me to have the engine ready to drop in this week Getting close to having it running
  7. I ordered the plazaman. Have been told it's good from multiple people. Should hopefully be here this week.
  8. Hey guys. Looking to order a FMIC for my 32 sometime fairly soon. It's going to be pretty much dead stock so I don't need a high performance kit. Basically just wanted to get some advice on what would I be best looking at? I've been looking at cooling pro type 1 from option1 http://www.option1garage.com.au/IntercoolersKits.htm and also a hybrid power HDi Gt2 kit. (are these compatible with RB20? It only mentions RB25 on there site). I don't want to spend any more than $600..as i'm not chasing performance ( at the moment anyway) Just looking for some advice! Thanks
  9. So I picked up a motor and gearbox yesterday. Hoping to pull it down and give it a bit of a clean up over the next few weeks. Still going to need a starter motor, FMIC, radiator etc.
  10. Hey guys and gals. Just joined the Skyline family with my new R32 GTS-T I don't have huge plans, but some rims, GTR front bar and wing and she should be looking schmick
  11. Hey guys! I just joined the nissan club, with my new R32 GTST and I'm very excited to get her on the road! Here are some pics of the old girl.
