Nytsky's Engine Build

[NYTSKY]

OK with me

[RB SANDY]

ARE YOU GOING TO DO ANY THING TO THE DRIVE LINE

[NYTSKY]

Ill be replacing the worn cushion button,but apart from that no.

[suprahb]

how much has everything cost you in parts?

[NYTSKY]

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

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?

[NYTSKY]

I dont have one unfortunately.

*scrolls through phone for mates who might have a gurny*

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.

[r33mick]

degreaser in a can works pretty well.

just dont leave it on for to long

[jeffworld2]

a decent gerney may take your paint off.

just get some wax/grease remover and a rag will get a whole lot of gunk off

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

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 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

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.

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

[Swiper the Fox]

Dave's engine block, crank and head we all dropped off at machine shop today. Should be all machined up early next week and then all reciprocating components off to be balanced. Stay tuned!

[GTR1993]

I like build up threads, good information, i plan to do the same with my 26, i have bought majority of parts for it at the moment.

keep up the good work.

[NYTSKY]

Yesterday i got the guys at GCG to add another 7psi spring to my Turbosmart Ultra gate.

So the base boost level now will be 1bar.
