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.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
