How did you understand what the horse wanted you to do? Cause like, Mister Ed only spoke cause he had peanut butter right?

Going to use a standard starter. The rack is being moved to the drivers side a bit further. And yes, only one cam... So much cheaper then buying two... The idea is to have a moderate cam in it Mark. That way I don't have to rev it's tits off to have it make power.

It's going to most likely end up with a custom ground cam... Not overly too much bigger then standard, it will move the power band up slightly, but basically going for EPIC lift in it.

The shifter works out in nearly the standard location, slightly rearward, but because of the height of the box, the trans tunnel will need a slight mod around the shifter hole to allow the box to sit up all the way. The back of the box still needs to go between 1 to 2 inches higher when it gets bolted up properly, so the motor will tilt slightly further forward. Even more clearance... As to the rack, it actually needs to be moved to the drivers side a fair bit to make it fit. It's majorly in the way... A bit more obvious in person.

So, I gave myself a birthday present of a day off work, and decided to head up to take some snaps so Brad didn't need to worry with photos. From under neath Holden thought of the R33 when they made this sump... It fits perfectly... Supposedly a cat lives here... I'm going to need to change this This will cause issues... See... They do fit... Just... Although, it does sit nice and low... At least I can get to the gearbox bolts easily... Because of how well the sump fitted the cross member, it's staying where it is, as you can see, it could be shoved back a bit, but that sump is such a good fit!

Not yet. Stevo is still going through it all and sorting it out.

It could be that the ecu has a "summer" tune in it, an the ecu isn't adjusting the tune to the cooler temps appropriately and hence running flat and misfiring. And this is why a retune would help. But then you'll have issues once the temps warm up again.

Just wind the boost up a few more PSI to over come the weight...

I'd be in if my car could move.

Makes me want my R33 to be home already... Half way through the swap ATM.

I use and love the Adaptronic ecus. Locally made, with awesome support. Once setup any tuner can tune it. For skylines it's a matter of picking it in a drop down and its basically setup.

Wow... My intimidation skills do work...

Omg you awake too...? Lol You go out last night steveo or have you broken tradition?

What about welding the flange with it bolted to a spare block? Find one that someone has air conditioned? Also, will read link later. Haven't done stuff on flow in ages, it's all been forgotten!

Depends how big of a skid you'll rip... But spare tyres... Bring clothing for all weather, and have the car with only the necessities.

From what Brad has told me, and others have seen as well, the Ls1 and T56 are in and mounted. Last I heard te mounts haven't been 100% welded as Brad was waiting on the starter motor to make sure he only had to mod the rack and not move the motor further. Wirin loom should turn up to him in 2 weeks time and just need plugs put on it. Once it's mounted I understand we'll then be waiting on the front half of the tail shaft to be made. We spoke and decided on a 2piece shaft.

You've given me some ideas with these USB mounts Chris. Going to set them up for my Data logger and ECU so don't have ugly cables everywhere.

You can get a tool that bolts onto two of the bell housing spots, and it locks into the flywheel. I believe the Volkswagen one fits. I also just had some piece of steel around that fitted the above job perfectly.

Yeah... You know your old GTR brakes...

For flywheel bolts I've always just used a 1/2 inch breaking bar and socket...

If it's after/during a restriction, isn't that going to cause a "high pressure" point for it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have a pipe, with something flowing through it, and you want something to be "drawn" or sucked into it, you would be better off putting an expansion in, because as the pipe expand, the gas flow slows down even though it would rather keep going, and as such puts a low pressure zone in... Isn't this the same theory the carburettor runs on? Run the airflow in, as it goes through the carb, it expands in size, and this is the point fuel is drawn in at?

Make sure you don't just randomly weld shit, cause if you don't do it properly it can vibrate like hell.

If you have a half or a full cage, you'll only be able to take one passenger...

It really does depend on the honest value of the car. There are so many R33 GTS-t that are around for the 5K price bracket you really have to check out what the market is doing.

Yeah, alot of guys get around that with RPM switches.
