Also, I have a dirt-cheap Holley-to-L24 manifold in the garage if you need it.

Cheers, D

That sound interesting mate, wouldn't have a spare set of extractors laying around too?

Think I've sorted the pulley conversion today, swapped the air con pulley straight over. Had to drill the magnet assembly, drill and tap the supercharger housing to suit and then for the front clutch plate It needed to be keyed onto the spline of the output shaft.

Should keep the boost down too being a larger pulley, just need to sort the mounts and idler pulley arrangement. Then plum it up and blow it up :)

I don't think that have extractors, although I have bought and sold a few sets in my time... but I might be able to track a set down for you. I'll hit my mate's factory next weekend to have a look for useful bits and pieces, and to grab that manifold. He's a scrap metal dealer, and has a stream of random bombs coming in and out, so have a think about parts that might be useful from other cars, too (idler pulley etc).

Your project is looking wild, so like Mr Shadow says, keep the pics/videos coming!

I recieved your money and spent it at the pub... and I had a really great time.

Your Holley manifold went into the post last week, so it should arrive Mon or Tues. Hope it serves its purpose well.

Haha classic, I myself had to for-go a night at the pub to purchase said manifold but am happy the money still made it over the bar and a good time was had by all :ermm:

On another note, a mates painter is coming to have a look tomorrow. He's painted a few Datto's for the boys and dose a pretty good job too.

Here's a couple of recent ones

Well progress has slowed but I'm still moving forward,

I've added a resonator to the exhaust and removed the rear muffler(replaced by the twins) Finished the s/c inlet, sent the s/c outlet for welding, finished the top bracket(V-3.0) ready for welding and discovered the new inlet manifold won't work with the factory exhaust manifold so waiting on extractors now.

more pics in the mean time,

Port matched and polished

Red bull gives you wings(especially when u add bourbon to it)

Got my grove on and polished some shit tonight, SC bracket and the lid for the plenum chamber I suppose you'd call it?

but more importantly I've made the best cup holder ever, It's even adjustable ;)

Shit, think my wings just fell off :D

Hope you printed off lots of order forms, there could be high demand for those holders especially as it comes with complimentary Beam ( I assume)?

For you mate, of course.

It's a no drill mod too

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
