Today Nathan picked up the non hicas power steering lines and put them in today (much f**king around involved) :S

Engine is built and going in tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111

WAR.

I think over the past 6 months i have spend roughly 4000 and thats on everything.. not to mention i haven't gotten Nathan and kates labour bill yet!! :O

Watanabe's are off her now.. kate needs them for her ceffy.. so we just have some 32 m-spec wheels on the front and 32 gtr wheels on the back!

So far the engine feels very strong.. and i am very happy with the suspension and steering upgrades too!

Still running it in so dyno is still a little while away.. ;)

Does it drive like an s13 with that rack in it?

Congrats on the project

Yes it does a bit hey!

haha thanks! :D

looks great, good work! can't wait to share the same feelings when my timing belt arrives later this week and i get to crank over my backyard rb30det for the first time (assuming it works :)) ;)

Sweet! Good luck!

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
