And to make me stab you ;)

2530s shall do me just fine but at this stage it's still going to be my 2860-7s. SOMEONE buy my turbos!!!!!!!!!!! Haha no matter what I put in I'll always want to go bigger better faster. I can't help myself.

I saw some losers at Gunners with a 33 GTST with a GTR badge on it. Parked mine and got out and they watched me pull up and were looking at me... As I walk past I just simply said "At least mine's real". Hehe they didn't say a word.

Just a little update.... Car is going to be sprayed on Thursday at this stage. Wheels are fixed and getting delivered early next week so hopefully they're looking good.

Bottom end of my engine is about to be assembled. Was a bit of a wait on a few extra studs and things that we decided to change at the last minute. Hopefully will have some piccies in the next few days. The porting of the head is almost finished and Greg is going to do some flow testing.

Happy days, it's all starting to come together!! 4 weeks without my baby so far, wow it's been a long 4 weeks!! :P

Id stick with the genuine R32 one, maybe get some new red on it and some gloss

Also coilpack cover I leave on, but everything else that matters is ceramic coated (turbos, manifolds, dumps, fronts) so the only heat will be coming from the actual motor in mine. Its not hard to pull it off though or vice versa, definatly get it sprayed at the same time with the other covers though :blink:

R32 badge is dead to me. It won't even be the same colour as the car anymore so 34 badge is going on. Also matches the front grille badge. Coordination is a good thing!

As for covers I'm still undecided. They're all getting painted up anyways so will see what Ed wants to do when he puts it all back together.

So if nothing goes wrong I'll have it back in 2 weeks!!

I'm just waiting on a call back to confirm where the engine is at.

Paint is finished, car is getting put back together as we speak. Colour looks damn awesome!

Will be back at Autotech on Monday ready to get it's engine put back in ;)

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
