I purchased Tomei crate engine back in Nov last year and most of the parts within the last six months

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to piece the story together, what made you take it off the road 2.5 years ago?

will be good to see what it really does after engine has been run in.

I have a mate with the same turbos and ECU and he made 470hp at the wheels on a stock motor, you should make at the very least that amount

I wanted to change the turbos as the nismo turbines were stuffed! I proceeded to do it myself (done it before). Then one thing led to another and decided to restore and build it. I already an N1 block, CP pistons, oil pump and engine mounts ready for rebuild. But Tomei crate engine was very hard to turn down for what it had to offer.

Ps If you had have sent the car and engine to Jase and I in November we could have had the car back to you that weekend :P

don't get me started. Gav sent me via tex MSG last nite an apology and then called me this morning to apologize again for the delay.

Ahh i see! Fair enough!

And so he bloody should apologise! No one pays upfront, and when you do you expect speedy service

can't wait mate. It should get close to the 400kw mark...............well that's benchmark I have set but I want the car to more reliable than anything else. So I'd be happy with 380rwkw.

400kw will be possible on 98, but that will be sort of the limit, it would piss it in on E85 though!

nailed it! Doesn't take rocket scientist to work that one out. He said to me he was sorry and that he needed a good kick in the backside (his own words). I've had more care from him within the last 24hrs than since I had given him the car!

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
