no i dont think there are copies of driftteks.

bee*r rims are different and look hotter but for the price i would buy the 18" teks when they arrive...soon very soon.

is it TT yet?

Nor will ever be.

The crank casings are all much the same, so:

Option 1) 3.3 turbo pistons, rings, bearings.

Or

Option 2) 3.6 crank, rods, bearings, pistons, cylinder casings.

Or

Option 3) 3.8RS crank, rods, bearings, pistons, cylinder casings.

The last two are going towards being a n/a build, although option 2) can be changed to a turbo spec build for much the same price.

1 and 2 we can keep the bigger cams already in it, so its a bit more cost effective. The 3.3 turbo options is more realistic in terms of power wanted VS cost, so it'll prob go that way.

It's getting a chip done soon for the new exhaust an cams, so dad/me will just run it until it brakes something then think more about it.

the RUF dealership in Texas offered us the bits to build a RUF 3.4lt turbo motor, which is another option, but the extra cost VS power doesn't appear to be worth it compaired to 3.3lt turbo power.

Depends what happens with the car later on sorta thing.. If it's just a fun car or something a bit more weekendish

no TT, no win

joshwa = fail

TT is boring, runs very hot and doesn't offer much more response compaired to a decent BB single turbo. There is a reason why alot of the turbo's stay single, it's all tried and tested and works with good results. Plus all the highend German and American manifolds are for single turbo.

Yeah from 993 on wards (not counting 959 :)), there is no reason why you can't use manifolds suited to a 993 TT, or even just put a 993 motor in this car, however it sorta change’s everything, plus motor conversions make some things tricky with certain race class’s.

It’s all up in the air, we don’t even know what or even how far we want to go with this car yet. Dad wants a newer one as they are nicer to daily drive or another Range Rover, so if he does that It'll stay basic due to lack of money. Plus as I still want to be able to drive it on the street keeping the damn thing cool plays apart with how far it could go anyway

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
