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.

lol or are too lazy to start one!

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're not the only one. Quite keen to see how it goes down the 1/4, assuming that will happen?

    • I thought I'd heard rumor of someone that was developing a 6 speed kit to convert the 5 speed box. But maybe I was thinking of the PPG 6 speed sequential? That's about half the price of a car...  
    • 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?
