Just received an e-mail from Will at JHH. After a lot of miscommunication and non-communication... My block is assembled... And my head has been ported, guides installed and valve seats cut. All that is left is the clean and final assembly! :):):):):)

bababababannnnggg!

I'm confident! :)

Put the tensioners on tomorrow or monday if I get a chance then the head can go on, put the timing belt on, make sure the pistons dont hit the valves (important step lol) and then I'll be running out of excuses. May take the Skyline off the road next time I'm home from work and pull the other engine out, send the clutch away and have it ready to put the new one in the round after

I REALLY am running out of excuses not to finish it now

More photos, today made some pretty big steps :)

Manifold and turbo arent bolted on at the moment, just there for some final alignment/modifications. So hopefully will pull the car off the road next time I'm back from work, work out the dump/wastegate setup and then get it all happening :)

Looks like an dirty old diesel turbo Cal.

Get off the drugs :P

I'm keen for first startup but will be a bit nervous as well to see if the oil control is gonna be alright.

I've always been a fan of s15's. They feel alot faster with minimal mods compared to skylines at least. 3071 and supporting mods would be fun enough

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
