enough with the pushrods, i know its a bit of a dinosour but it will rev, dont worry about that.

as for the cambelt, i reckon you could probably get a Jessel set up, i know they do one for earlier chevs and fords. when its making 800hp ill get one for u jase.

Removed 4 piston & rod assys and took them to machine shop where we milled 6thou of the big end face to get the required clearance. took longer to remove them and re-fit them than it did to machine them. Anyway all done and back together.

Fabricated a baffle for the sump, very basic, just folded a piece of sheet metal up, cut some reliefs and welded it to the standard internal sump baffle. this was done to limit oil surge in sump which Ls1 engines were renound for. Re-fit rear oil seal plate and seal, and sump. also fit balancer and water pump today as well as a few sensors and engine mount brackets. Just the heads and manifolds and it will be ready to fit.

Front screen and rear quarter windows were also fitted today.

Not RB's!

i heard we are all pitting together, ill be your pit bitch. it will go 9.0s if you let me neer the NOS bottle.

i am...just fitted new ECU...diff tomm...dogbox friday....tune saturday....9.60's sunday :D

so the gtr had the wiper then.......he will just have to chase up a gtst rear screen.

wrong thread?

but yeah should be there sunday.

Ill give you a buzz or pop in if I head up

BTW - You can just put a grommit in the hole. Bit sturdier than a sticker and it's what we did on another GTR

unfortunately no, unless you use a bellhousing that will accept starter on the other side, would also have to modify block as starter mounts on it. i have heard that you can get a kit, but am not 100% sure. might be able to find answers on ls1.com

Stu,

I have spoken to a few people (LS1 R33 and an LS1 R34) and both of them were able to retain the power steering.

Is the R32 GTSt engine bay narrower than the later models? Another option I have heard is to use the steering rack/front bits from a GTS4 or a GTR as they supposedly allow for more room to clear the front drive shafts/sump/diff/etc.

Both the above cars used Holden mounts modified to suit, rather than the Nissan mounts you optioned for. Might affect clearance a bit?

Hope that helps keep us posted.

Cheers

yeh mate, it is possibly the case that the r32 is tighter, but in my case i like the manual steer feel alot better and removing the rack, pump & lines save me some weight.

thanks buddy, if only i could get my phone to talk to my computer.

the first pic shows one of the 4 conrods having the big end face milled. took 6thou off, 40thou=1mm.

second pic shows underside of sump baffle with fabricated baffle attached. this sits infront of oil pickup.

third pic shows baffle in place. hole is where pickup sits through.

fourth pic shows underside of engine with windage tray fitted.

also fitted water pump, alternator today as to set up the drive-belt which had to be modified as there is no power steer pump. just swapped an idler pulley and added a second one and a shorter belt. stinging for cylinder heads now.

Here's some more pics from Stuart's car. He can explain what they all do.

Hi!

I just started on my R32 with LS3, T56 project, and was wondering what you used for a shaft between the transmission and rear differential, and where I can get one of these shafts?

Nice build. Would love to see some pictures and videos when your finished.

It's a custom job with the appropriate yokes at each end. Are you really using a 6.2L LS3?

tailshaft was a custom unit. GTR rear uni with front yoke to suit tremec with f100 uni. this cost around $800.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
