Full monty clutch, hope it handles...

all the work is either getting done by myself or a good friend who works for ricky stephans (some people would know that name in the drag racing scene)

top guys to deal with though, and close to my work, so we can transport gear to them easily. got to love trade discount lol.

WELL.... After a few years, career change, city move, and a give up all together on this motor, it is finally running!!!

its been that long that i hardly remember all the parts used!

ill try and upload some photos but currently without a good tune its just pushed out 424.6HP on 13psi. im now running it in and will go back in 2-3 weeks for a proper tune at 13psi then a 20 and a 25... getting talked into a E85 tune also haha.

PLEASE ask me any questions you can think of and il try and get the spec's/answers.

Car has been sittin for that long that the front coilovers have seized and the rears have leaked and bounce away...

Just ordered a new set of coilovers, slotted rotors and new brake pads.

kind of surprised that after all this time the tyres havnt got flat spots or the car hasnt fallen apart with rust...lol

Wanted to go the 42R but i thought it would be to laggy, got a 35R on it now, but it builds boost from 2500rpm and full song so early...

ill see how it feels after the run in and tune and ill decide if i want to throw a 42 on it. :D

It's a 6boost one, ill try and get some better pics of it if you like.

Looking forward to getting it out of the run in tune tho, quite heavy on the fuel at the moment to be on the safe side.

yeh it was down there, looking pretty sad on the outside hey!? cant wait to get rid of those damn doors haha

Yeah...going to have to agree with the doors. Rims could do with a change too, engine is a keeper though.

Then again, I need a new engine and would be more than happy to take it off your hands lol

yeh, well picked up the car as a 5sp manual rb20det for $2200, then $2000 for bodykit/paint/tint, and the wheels were a straight swap for my standard gtst rims.

so ive spent the money on the motor and now everything can be worked up to go with it :)

been a budget car untill it come to the motor.

Sleeper as hell man. Also a owner of a R32 Gtst, just had the engine kill itself so a 25 with a plazman plenum and some other goodies will be calling the engine bay home soonish care of Trent and the rest of the Mercury guys.

Nothing but good cars rolling out of there, my mates S13 (PRN 13) is down there atm receiving a new engine and fuel system.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
