Update -

Well the engine is in - Finally

We had to do some funky stuff with the plenum / intake - the runners were too long for the S12 (This FJ must have come from a DR - so I still have some Skyline left in me)

So we chopped an inch of the runners and welded back -

Now the throttle body faces the wrong way for the cooler piping so - chopped the end of the plenum and customized it a bit.

Big Front Mount is fitted

New GTIR Radiator with Twin Thermos

Battery Relocated to boot

Nearly ready to start

1 Week away I reckon - the Pig will be on the road !

Why do my projects always take so long ! ??????

It's my usual MO Baron - Buy a car - spend heaps on it - sell it cause I have moved on - over it.

I call it B-Man's charity to the car enthusiast's market......

The Gaz is gonna rip !

yeah I should know that by now. Can you build up a nice GTR or RX7 for me. Cause right now I feel like I'm half way through a b-man myself. got lots of shit here for my GTR but no real enthusiasm to go with it at the moment. :banana: what the hell is the matter with me?!

Sale = something that is to be sold. when one person wants to sell an item, they put it up "for sale"

it then eventually becomed SOLD which is a pastence for sale or sell.

sarcasm works better if you know how to spell

just saying

I don't think that was GTST posting. It was his diseducated twin.

And bman, the only way your kicking our arses is if you let 2rismo drive it. It doesn't count if you sell it before you race it.

Am I the only one that 2rismo hasn't beaten in their own car?

You watch - 2rismo will sell his car just after he finishes it - The best of us do that you know.

The S12 will be a ball tearer - much more fun than the Cosmo.

Might be faster than the V8 too :P

What? Spend $35,000 on an engine, aftermarket parts, and tuning.... all in preparation for trackwork, and then sell the car a month later???

Who the hell would do something like that???? :domokun:

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
