Russ,

Blew a cooler pipe off and the resulting fireball out the exhaust set the rear bar on fire for a few secs. Nothing too serious and other than asthetics the car is all ok. Infact it's pretty good now - would like to have gone head to head with you down here but I see you guys aint on the list. I take it that means you can't make it?

There's a few regulars missing this time actually.

Up yours... :huh:

This car is absorbing my blood, sweat and tears. YellaGTRs blood, sweat and tears...its been a friggin huge effort and its almost come together. Its going to be damn close...but at the moment the final hurdle is going to be rego.

So waits and sees if i have any probs...but you two just go on sitting by the pool dinking Martinis mocking our efforts to get our car ready...did i mention blood, sweat and tears (...and plenty of abusive language!)...

LOL did i mention i have done several all nighters now and still had to go to work the next day...:P Im friggin try'n

again man if you need some help with anything give us a bell we owe you a few

You dont owe me anything. Im happy to been able to help you guys out when i could at the track. That said i may be pushing sh1t uphill this weekend so will wait and see if i need to lean on you guys!

Drove the car briefly, no miss under load, drove fine. A few exhaust leaks from rushed install of turbo, but spent most of the weekend ripping the manifold off, new gasket, studs, washers. Have new rotors, pds, diff, swayabars all to go on this week.

Fingers crossed rego goes to plan this afternoon then we are on our way with a car that shoudl look pretty neat, adn be running pretty well. My only concern is the gearbox...but new Syntrans will hopefully get us through the weekend.

HI-HO Silver!!!!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
