Ok the new injectors,valve springs and engine mounts arrived.But it looks like i have wrong mounts :banana:

The ARP exhaust manifold bolts also arrived,and finally that completes all the ordering for the build.

Now its all the small things i have to the running around for.

Things like a universal mount for the Greddy oil catch can.

Getting the rocker covers painted.

Working out the lengths for all the braided lines.

I have to clean the engine bay :/ im trying to think of a way to clean it without removing all the lines and hoses.As its not that dirty im thinking of spraying the front clips and fire wall with some sort of cleaning solution,letting it sit for 2mins and hosing it all off.Then hopping in with a rag to get all the stubborn stuff.

What would you recommend? Quick detailer? Maybe something a bit harsher?

gurny? :banana:

if you've got a compressor just hook up some hot water mixed with concentrated degreaser (which you can get from bunnings) into one of those spray can things you can get as an attachment. would probably be better for getting the grease off cause you can mix degreaser into it. thats what i do.

Once it's getting reassembled and you've worked out exact dollar signs it'll come together and you'll start to feel great :blink:

I'd love to do what you're doing, looks exciting and engrossing. You'll be having some serious fun when it's complete :)

Love the pics. Keep em coming.

Dont work out the exact dollars; it ruins the enjoyment!

OK all, today everything was delivered to Paul. Top bloke :P and was even lucky enough go for a blast in the GTR. Which was insane! Its not everyday you get to ride in a genuine 9 sec GTR :D

BP98 with 6 deg total timing removed @ 15 psi and 1/2 throttle is not really the way to show off the car...

but...

im sure you got the idea how nuts it is to drive. :D

Just another small update.

When i bought the 3037 a few months back i noticed it had a 4 inch diameter inlet,and thought i would have to either put a 4inch step down to 3inch silicone joiner on the turbo or try and hide the joiner in a custom CAI with the AFM,as the AFM diameter is 3inch.Neither of them tickled my fancy so...

It just so happends, i managed to get my hands on a Haltech E11v2.

So my beloved Power FC and Z32 AFM are for sale.Look in the for sale section for the thread :laugh:

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
