good luck with the build Noddy....I'd love to pull the engine out after 3 years to check it was OK lol.

as for the harnesses, I use rollcage for 2 rear points, factory seatbelt points for rear 2 and have put an eyelet with reinforced plate in the floor at the correct location for points 5 and 6. Factory points are great you know they have been comprehensively engineered and tested.

Well, this can only be my relative uneducated opinion in these matters but, the hone still looks excellent, still need to check for roundness of the holes.

Cams look pretty good. The grind marks are just bedded in on the tips. I will be sending the head off for a birthday next week and let them mic it all up.

If my old machinist was still with us (RIP) he would probably be asking me why on earth I pulled it apart?...... but in more colourful language.

New addition to the little car that could, 34 wheels and Yoki AO50 in 265/35 :) :)

I purchased GTR gaurds and indicators to allow the fitment, but they seem to fit ok without them.

Got a day at Lakeside this sunday for Make a Wish Foundation, so hopefully get to test it out and give some kids a buzz at the same time! :(

Looks the goods Ben, and it's nice you'll be giving some kids something to smile about mate. Good work ;)

Had the part-time track car tuned yesterday, pretty happy with the results for the outlay. Only mod is a turbo back exhaust.

Fark, what with another GTSt that i like the look of more then mine....depressing :D

bah, its just another GTR wannabe ;)

does look good with the 34 wheels. and I'm sure it will go good with the A050s too. I'm gonna have to fork out for a decent set of tyres next year to try and catch up

Yeah, just a APS turbo back exhaust and a reflash by RE Customs here in Vic. The mid range gain is phenomenal, really happy with it.

Just got a harness bar as well, so now I need to pick up a seat rail so I can swap the Recaro between the 180 and STi and it should be a nice occasional track jigger ;)

Not for Targa Roy, Weds will be back on. More sidewall I think will equal better handling bumpy stuff and of course there's a saving of around 3kg per corner with the Weds.

I got the 18's simply to utilise stocks of used A050's for all the circuit stuff I do. Spend a little to save a lot :D

Very nice improvement Dane ;)

Yeah it is Greg, it's an awesome street car. I haven't been in pretty much anything that would keep with it on a tight course, or at least it feels that way! :laugh:

I got it second hand off a guy from the Rex club, but he got it from Meridian. Directly from them is pretty pricey, so I've been looking for a used one for a little while now nd just got lucky.

    • 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
