they can be pressed out pretty easily

then either tap some threads or press some fittings in the covers and you can use earls stuff

ive got a set here that have had the stock fittings pressed out and earls 90 degs pressed in

I have not got much to do to the engine now so i might give it a go and pull them out.

could get a nice Red R Racing one made to set it off if you like :(

Whos to say im not getting that sticker made??? :)

I thought as much. Looks like ill have to make do with the stock ones.

Anyway here is a new pic i took with the coil pack in bright silver:

post-32255-1214773843_thumb.jpg Looks like a Tomei "DERIVE" engine lol

Looks awesome in the sunlight.

Im getting a sticker made to replace the 2500 24valve logo.

Looks great mate!

Roughly a month. There was a set back with a top piston ring. If it went all smoothly probably 3 weeks.

The car is getting picked up tomorrow morning to get all of the finishing touches done and will be running hopefully on Friday afternoon :D

awesome build up with great pics, your workshop got that motor together in sweet time! what was the actual time from dropping off to picking up the built motor? a quick look at the post dates says somewhere about one month? nice!

any updates?

yeah we like to have them on a one month turn-around. Although we are quick we are also very thorough. All tolerances are checked and double checked and clearances less than spot-on are not acceptable. I actually sent Dave's crank back to be re-done on one of the journals as it wasn't to my standards.

Got 3 tough RB26 builds on at the moment for other forum members, two from interstate...one a big 2.8 stoker...nice.

some people like to remain anon.

Too late Johno, i picked up a HPI 4inch pod from JustJap this morning.

Car is at the exhaust shop, was talked into fitting a 4inch body Metal Cat,suppose to flow nearly 1000CFM of air!

Going to the tuners tomorrow afternoon, but i wont have the car back until mid next week. Adam is going to spend alot of time on the tune so it is perfect,cold start the lot.

Why get one workshop to build it then another to tune it? Any particular reason?

I refuse to touch Haltech's...Why? not because they are inferior...its because i dont know them....unlike other workshops who don't know what they are doing and learn on the fly with other peoples hard earned cash. Adam is the Haltech expert and im more than comfortable Dave taking it to him. He'll do a top job....can't wait to see some results.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
