Awesome thanks for the additions! Where abouts is yours getting built? I'm getting excited now!

I was going to look at the Denso injectors, heard a lot of brands use them and rebadge them.

I've seen Greenline but I think they're pretty slow with shipping. I actually have Slide hooking me up with quite a few parts now :)

Nismo full gasket kit eh? I am going to go the Tomei one i think.

HP ratings, also the 044 isnt designed to be run in tank

BUT

There are so many people with 044 in tanks that have had zero issues, including 2 gtr's i know of which are thrashed properly, and mine. There will be a tiny bit of tinkering to get it in there and hooked up but its not hard, hell even i figured out how to do it and believe me im not a mechnic

Go the 044 :)

I've always found greenline to take atleast a week, and have always been spot on when they tell me when the items are dew in.. also never had a problem with nengun either haha..

I'm getting my motor built in Sydney by Pro form. who does alot of my friends work..

As for denso. i'm sure your correct there in saying alot of people rebadge them.. or with injectors really its just re packaging them.

the Nismo gasket kit is a full motor thing (all the oil seals, valve seals, all other engine gaskets there must be over 50 gaskets in the box, unlike the tomei etc which is just headgasket, intake gaskets, exhaust gaskets.

the only problem is you do not get all metal intake and exhaust gaskets. but you do get a metal head gasket. which i already have so not a problem to me.

i've always found its best to use genuine engine gaskets with rebuilds. had, seen and herd of many motors leaking out the main and other seals after motors installed.. and who wants to be pulling out a motor just after its been put back in... tho obviously head gasket is always choice

as for the fuel pump, your best going an intank setup.

Im confused.....

lol sorry, typed that in a rush

Get the 044, mount it in tank, any fittings needed can be sourced from motorsport connections in sydney. Ring them and tell them you're putting an 044 in an r32 and they should know exactly what to sell you

SCAT are made in the US....ive already debunked this myth that everything is made in China in another thread.

They all look identical to me, and on scats website, they say they make crank shafts in the us. but only say they finish, balance and pair up sets of rods in the us..

Thanks LTSJayce. But I'm sorted :)

LOL you are more than welcome to come for a ride. I have decided on all the parts it's just a matter of getting them here on time now!

Hi; me again. Maybe I missed your post, but who did you decide on? If you don't want to give away your secrets to the whole world, a PM will be fine!

I think it's in there somewhere :) No secrets. Won't be posting my final figure nor a full parts list so as to avoid unwanted attention but happy to chat to peoples about it elsewhere.

But work wise I've gone with Autotech and Pro Engines.

    • T51R mod is an Antisurge slot. With exception that it has few extra legs on the base of it which makes a sound, and it needed to be inserted into the comp housing.  
    • Is WHC34 a 2 wheel drive Stagea?  4wd Stagea 100% fits, and I'd say 99% sure 2wd will too....they just used the GTR setup as that best suited the wagon floor. BTW I hope you saw Brett's post about potential reasons for a leak, unless you can see the plastic cracked somewhere, it is unlikely to be the tank itself leaking.  Can you see fuel dripping or is it just a smell when you park? Have you had any of the tank/pump holder apart?
    • They did get back to me. First response is from the mechanic that did the work. The problem is that the information that followed wasn't in the original report, which again, I let car inspect know should have been provided and influenced my decision to buy. Ball is back in their court and they have 5 more days to respond.  The actual structural damage was not a complete write off as they had me originally believe.  It just needed to be corrected properly and cleanly as opposed to the botch job of whoever did it last on the rad support and undercarriage. Smoothed out the scrappy welds and did it properly plus painted.
    • Haven't updated this is a while. -5 speed conversion is done. Then center console, parking brake handle, and mounting bracket can be adapted from a R34 since the S2 parts are all disco. Console is a slightly different grain pattern and color but works fine. R33/ R34 GTS (no booster) clutch pedal works as well as the matching master cylinder. Wiring is simple, jump the starter connector at the fuse box, note which wires are connected at which position on the auto neutral safety switch and cut off the switch harness and connect to the corresponding switch on the 5 speed. -Rear R34 rear subframe swap is completed. Full Nismo arm set, 2-way LSD set up soft, 322mm Brembo brakes, Ohlins Flag-R coil overs (need to drop the spring rate 1Kg) -RB swap is under way. HKS Step 2 High Response 2.8 BCD stroker kit / Step 2 V-Cam / GTIII 4R Kit I may not use the 4R kit but not sure yet as I've seen some pretty decent dyno sheets on it and it doesn't spool as slow as people think when you have v-cam. I have the wiring manual for the car and a spare 260RS harness so the wiring shouldn't be that bad but I just haven't had the time to invest in it. If anyone has a suggestion for someone who can handle it let me know! I have a bunch of spare 5mt swap parts and some Nismo 580 turbos if anyone needs/wants them hit me up. Located in California but willing to ship. As always, thanks to all the members who have answered my questions and helped this project keep moving!      
    • Did Car Inspect get back to you? How bad was the actual "structural" damage? What front surgery was required?
