  1. I used dry ice on mine and got my whole car and a mates car done in about 8 hours. I wouldn't bother with a heat gun and a scraper as it will be messy as f**k. Dry ice is the easiest way.
  2. Yeah it can still be street regod but ill pretty much keep it as a track car now as i can't be bothered with police hassles and defects/fines. I might street it later on down the track haha.
  3. Im thinking of selling my hypergear highflow turbo its equivalent to a 3076 with the OP6 rear housing with slightly larger trim in turbine, the only modifying needed to make it fit on your RB is a 3 inch intake pipe. Comes with a braided oil feed line and the standard oil lines bolt up. The actuator will hold some where around 14~16psi with no boost controller. The turbo will make between 260-280kw with supporting mods on a neo engine. The compressor has been sprayed flat black so it doesn't stand out as much as I was planning on streeting the car before I decided to go track with it. I have the turbo on a GTSR manifold and to get the dump pipe to work now it is rotated 90 degrees makes it harder, plus I want to go bigger and external wastegate. Turbo is bran new and hasn't even been started due to my car still been built. I paid over $1000 getting it freighted to and from me including the rebuild. Looking for $900 plus freight to you or local pick up. Pm me for more information.
  4. Haven't updated this in a while. Copy and pasted: Another full on day done. Whole interior is stripped ready for dry ice tomorrow. Pulled all the shit out from behind the dash I no longer require and put it in a scrap pile. Carpet is up and out of the car. Some rear trims removed so I can get every last inch of the crap up. Looms are zip tied up out of the way ready to rock and roll. Tomorrow Im hoping I can get all the dry ice work done. Put the carpet back in. Dash back in and start the head f**k of re looming the main loom and the gauges looms into the engine bay. Id say that's all ill get done as ill be working on the loom for quite some time id say. Yeah I will be a few months ahead after this week on the car. She will be all back together by the time she's home again . Didn't get a great deal done today as I was nursing a hangover haha. Cleaned up all the sound proofing. I still need to do the rear wheel archs and a little more in the boot that is sticky glue shit. Cage is back in ready to measure out and get the bars in place ready for welding. Carpet is back in with a few different dash parts. Sorted out the spider web of loom that was behind the dash, now all that's in it currently is the body loom until I start wiring in the new parts. Bought some pipe and steal sheet to make up a rear parcel shelf and to block off the boot from the cabin. Haven't weighed it yet but id say its a few kg. Between this and all the heater/aircon and a few other things id say iv taken out 8kg. Got the dash back in and got the loom tucked up. Put the new cluster in with my old fascia cover as the new one was scratched up. Started on cutting up the bars for cage to make them fit nice I ground out C's so they would be nice and tight. I have a couple more to do between the rear legs and the main hoop, on a couple of them I'm making a sleeve to so they slide into each other so it isn't impossible to get the cage in and out. Still needs welding but I ran out of time. Going to put a few gauges where the climate control knobs were so they are nice and high to see. Now the heater box and shit isn't behind the dash there is so much more room to play with and keep things tidy. What about demisting the front windscreen you say? I have a small Craig Davies fan that I'm going to make up ducts for so it will blow on the front windscreen and through the dash vents for the driver and passenger. Couldn't do a full day today as the Mrs cracked the shits I have spent all week on the car and haven't done anything around the house that she's wanted done. I'm pretty chuffed I didn't think I would have been able to get this far in a week but as I said earlier it has put me months ahead of where I was. I have emailed Streeter today about getting some products sent over from the R31house boys. Nothing crazy just a few things I have wanted but never had the money to get them. Love freshly painted shit. Got my weather shields and coilpack cover back today, I have left the grill with him as he is going to try to paint the GTS part white for me. Looks pretty decent over the rattle can shit, I have decided I'm not going to paint anything else with a rattle can either powder coat or in a spray booth as the quality just doesn't compare. Colour for the cage I was going to go white but then thinking about it the sun will reflect off it pretty bad, I'm thinking a bronze like the bottom half of my car for something different? Thoughts? Sold a few more parts so ill be buying up some more cool shit hopefully this week too. First lot of parts came in today. Picked these up from the boys at G7 thanks for the hook ups lads. If I didn't care about money so much I would buy a whole bunch of these and do the entire car with them, hoping I will have enough hose but I think 4m should be enough. I have ordered a bunch of random clips that are missing or broke over the years. This is to keep my OCD happy with keeping the car neat and tidy haha. Her new home slowly getting finished in this crap SA weather. Didn't get as much done last night as I first thought I would. Got the coilpack cover on with the allan key bolts, also have a sticker coming for it too that will finish it off. Changed the mesh on the back of the oil cooler and doubled it up for extra strength. Got my oil cooler/remote oil filter and catch can lines all dummy fitted as I will have to take them off when the engine comes out again . Took my autospoiler over to have fitted up but looking at it the oil cooler might foul on it, so im not too sure if I should keep it or sell it off to fund a basic house kit haha.
  5. Km on turbo and condition? Reason for sale? Pics?
  6. Got a s2 one in SA if you are interested?

  9. Dropped engine in last night so I can work out oil cooler lines and fittings, cooler pipes, wiring looms, making up brackets and heat shield etc. Still haven't finished facing the manifold or got it painted yet but I can take it off easy enough still. My actuator is touching the chassis so I will have to rig something up to move it out the way, apart from that everything fits nice and snug with out any head aces thankfully. I have a week off this week so ill be smashing out a fair amount of work on her, hopefully I don't get lazy and do f**k all and smash the xbox instead . I'm starting to get excited once again as things are looking good and coming together how I had hoped. Just need to start working more to fund the more important things for the time been so I can get it going. Started bright and early today to get a head start on everything. Stripped the whole rear section of what I no longer require. Cut the rear legs down on the cage first so it would fit in nice and snug and my hunch about getting the front legs to fit worked a treat. Now the cage sits where it should and works a treat sits a tad low in a couple of spots but not too bad. A few more bars will be added this week too and then off to the powder coaters . With the extra bars we are going to follow cams rules but seen as the cage isn't cams approved it wont make much of a difference. Hoping to get away with it but don't think it will happen more so for extra piece of mind. Ill also be making up a large plate to screw into position on the rear seats as well as a new parcel shelf when we head over to the local steel place. Made a couple more little brackets so the intercooler won't budge on its own. Started looking at cooler pipes whilst the engine is in the bay but then gave up.. So more updates to come tomorrow

  14. Line number 15 the gearbox has it had the conversation to be push type or is it still pull?
  15. Coupe is getting re homed for a month or so whilst the shed gets assembled and concreted. She's going to a mates house witch he has a pretty sweet set up, access to a hoist, welder and better utensils than I have at home atm. Whilst she's up there ill be getting a few big jobs done that I can't do here, it will come back ready to rock and roll so I can concentrate on the engine and interior side of things. Gave her a bath and put it back together to be rollable onto a trailer tomorrow night. It's got some spastic toe in and toe out as I didn't set it up correctly but ill correct it later. Waiting on a couple of parts to get delivered an external tow hook, a s13 alloy over flow that I will fit upto the drivers side wheel arch hump. I have the cam covers and timing belt cover at the local power coaters. My weather shields, coil pack cover and grill are at the spray painters getting new paint.
