Full resto!

Well that explains it!!! Amazing car mate, cannot even comprehend how much of a handful that would be!!! Have you done a build blog on it at all?

Fark me, what power is this beast making?? Details?

Boooooo! 😁

They're definitely the most reliable option but they look aids so GTFO my car! Each to their own but it tidies everything up getting rid of them in my opinion. It does mean having to think through your routing and securing of AN lines to keep it looking tidy though.

I’ll start sending you some shit then! 😂

Awesome stuff, good to see you smashing out the jobs!

Definitely does fit behind the kick panel with a little effort. Photos aren't great sorry.

Just for anyones interest the clutch plate turned up yesterday. 10 days from Japan in the current climate is pretty bloody good I reckon! RHDJapan for the win. Not that it really matters if I'm honest..... Finding the time to do something with it is the problem....

Hey, I'm no rocket scientist or electrician but I do know water doesn't flow up hills very well. If you affix it vertically with the cables coming out of the bottom of the sealing bag (like one of those waterproof phone swimming bag thingies), the insignificant amount of water that gets passed your guard liners isn't flowing up into the bag provided it's half well sealed. But anyway, your car, you do what you see fit! 🙂

Do you not have wheel arch liners? It should be pretty well protected back there. Can pretty easily waterproof it if need be. Wrap it in a plastic bag.

What length leads did you get on your EGT's? I've got the amplifier but not the EGT's yet as I want to confirm where I put them first. My plan is to either put the amp next to the ECU somewhere or if there's not room there or will make too much mess with wiring into the cabin I'll be putting it inside the passenger side (left side) front guard.

Sweet, hopefully not too long to wait then!

Pulled the trigger and ordered one off RHDJapan…. Hopefully doesn’t take too long!

Gee that’s good. Who was it through? Nengun or RHDJAPAN?

Hi guys, due to trashing a plate I need one of the above friction plates. Hoping to get one local rather than having to order from Japan which will take forever at the moment! Even if you know somewhere that sells them in Australia. Couldn’t find anything after an extensive Google search. Thanks!

The 8HP gearbox is amazing so will be super interesting to see how it goes in a Skyline. I've got the ZF in my Amarok and they're in all of the high end stuff at work (Touareg, Audi Q5, Q7, Q8, etc, etc) and it's phenominal in those. It's probably the best transmission shifts at full noise I've ever experienced. Even flat to the floor the shifts are perfect every time. Very predictable. It would 100% be my choice if I decided to do something on mine or any other conversion. Would be awesome in an old school cruiser (Mustang/Camaro/any big Amaerican barge) converted to RB with the ZF. Would be super nice just to Sunday drive.

Ah shit man, that sucks. I really feel for you. Car ownership can be such a bloody painful experience at times! The highs are high but damn the lows are low...... I'd be guessing at cracked cylinder based on what you're saying. MLS head gaskets are pretty good (provided block and head are prepped perfectly) up until big power runs/massive boost so if it's happening at idle in the shed most likely block. Please let us know how you go and then a rough time frame until your Bullet Billet RB30 block turns up! 😝

First coat? 😁 Another 5 coats and she'll be good for 1000HP! Cover the whole motor and you won't even need a block brace!

Not having fixed one before my advice is invalid but if it was mine I would grind it back a bit with a die grinder and try and pack the JB Weld slightly into it a bit. Let it dry, grind it back, squirt of paint and send it!

Getting serious! Will be an absolute weapon!

Full resto! That engine bay is going to look amazing once all back together. Are you doing anything funky like wire tucking, brake line redirection or anything else?

Cheers mate. Unfortunately its a long time between treats... Ended up sticking with the Speedtek gearset despite much (understandable) pressurenot to. Interesting to note that despite all the negativity around them, they really seem to be kicking goals at the moment. They're pumping out some fairly diverse products now.

Was my comment a bit too passive/aggressive??!! 🤣

Sweet, good to hear! As much as we all love to hang shit on the Kiwis I do love them! Some amazing fabricators and tradespeople over there and God do they love thrashing cars! I've travelled to NZ itself multiple times and travelled with a few Kiwis overseas and had a ball with them. They're similar to Aussies but wierder! 😂😂
