Subframe Powder coated, Time to get some new bushes and start reassembly with the new engine.

Cheers!

# Hey mate thanks! , The car's being engineered, Basically I have approvals in permits I sent off a few months back by the DPI for literally every nut bolt and washer part on this car, Basically the plan is near the end of the build hire a DPI engineer to come through it and have a look, Sign it all off fix up what he doesn't like although Josh has a fair idea of what's legal and what isn't so obviously I'm putting stock exh / tyres / shitty tune & plumbing gate back etc before he goes over it, So once that's all signed off will be as simple as taking my car and engineering certs to pits, He's built bigger more badass GTR's then mine and gone through the exact same process just as easily!

New suspension coming in now aswell and probably some Te37's, May be selling the Rb26 Block&Head shortly.

Hopefully all the reassembly starts rolling on next week, Will try to get some pics.

Sold pending more recent pictures.

Cheers, yeah need to update the avatar haha, yeah it's gunmetal grey just looks nice and shiny under the light. Got new license plates for it aswell dont want old owners taking credit for my build from stock

Thanks man, but i actually plan on using a clear nitto cover to show off my cam gears, so i didnt want to separate the tomei covers. Rather they go to a good home, that being the reason i didnt use the push ins

Hi mate!, No sorry , My new engine came bare so have to poach all the goodies off the old one The only reason I'm getting rid of these ones is we need to weld dash fittings on for the speedflow lines, and didn't want to run the risk of burning & ruining these beautiful covers.

Hi All, Been writing this one out for a while now that I have internet back , I can start pasting all my crap down Names Jake. Some of you may have seen me attend most of the Jdm + antilag cruises before my engine went pewpew, Or just generally driving around SoR , Used to have a 33gtst as a 2nd year sparky, sold that in my 4th year and bought my 1993 R32 GTR I'm now 2 years into being a tradesmen and wouldnt trade it for anything else. When I got it we found the entire cooling system was gone to shit the previous owner did not take any care of it whatsoever not naming any names off here, The radiator was 90% clogged, the coolant in the reservoir was all muddy after a 10-15 minute drive the oil temperature would sit anywhere to 100-115 and would usually result in boiling coolant, I got it checked out and also found the coolant lines to both turbos were 100% blocked as well as most of the cooling channels in the block tried flushing and just about everything else we could think of. We did our best with it and gave it a little detune down to 360hp at all 4's for the time being, while also replacing all the hoses and main coolant line, new radiator etc. The oil temperature still rose to about 100-110 after a 20 minute drive, We only delayed the inevitable however it wasn't doing to bad could only use it for sprints to the shops and cruises and meets that were nearby. I've made alot of tough decisions,But I decided to get an entire new engine built from top to bottom with no cheap corner cutting anywhere, Convert to a big tough single and add in even more mods to make it an absolute street monster, I wan't to make this car live up to its name The True Godzilla . Everything had to be absolutely perfect as im a paranoid bastard aswell ,My engine has just been sent over which was finished up by Mark Jacobsen at Godzilla Motorsports over in QLD. Engine specs are as follows, CP Forged pistons, H beam forged Tomei Rods, Jun Oil pump, ARP stud kits with main stud caps, Crank collar, R32 ati Harmonic Balancer, 7.5Ltr Custom sump , Acl race bearings, Head running Stage 3 Maximum Race Porting, Machine to fit Hks 272 10.2mm Lift cams, 1mm oversize intake+ exhaust Super tech titanium valves, Bronze guides , Dual springs with titanium retainers Cometic Head gasket 6boost manifold 50mm Turbosmart Progate Garret dual bb Gtx3582r Vipec Ecu Aircon Deletion Just going to paste down the progress over the months so bare with me if the timing seems odd The engine started getting built in November 2012 and to this day the build continues. Engine was delivered in June. Was a very long wait indeed! Engine build Pics. Engine Finished, Crated and getting ready for posting. Engine Arrived nice and tightly packed. Up on the stand, Pewpew shiny cam gears. This is the old engine in the car, Just got fitted up so all the welding could be done for the pipework while theres an RB in the car, So after the bay goes for a respray all the piping is already made up so the new paintwork wont get scratched etc. New Engine on stand with bolt ons and Gtx fitted. Engine Bay freshly resprayed

I'll drive up to my builders workshop tomorrow afternoon , I'm quite confident there's no marks, However I'll get some fresh pics after they came off the engine just to be quadraple sure. and throw up here.

Here's another Dusty one. #@gdzlar1

No scratches from what I can see, 3rd Pic is clean, 1st one has a bit of dust and fingerprints all over. Look really nice in sunlight changes colour and sparkles quite nicely. Was taken care off when pulled out, I'll see if I can dig up another pic.

#@navanskyline #@Longz Close up pic of the front.
