Things are coming along great ;)

Got the DBA slotted and cross drilled discs on.

Also a Greddy radiator fitted and finished up spraying the rest of the engine.

Monday we'll fit the Power FC, put in the R33GTR seats, 7" touch screen stereo unit, tidy up everything and it should be ready for the road (fingers crossed)

There's more to do, but I have to wait for a container from Japan to arrive before I start on the next phase.

Cheers.

Got the 260RS in the workshop ATM. Finally rego'd and road legal. Now the fun begins :angry:

Had a set of Tomei cams and cam gears installed yesterday. Also sprayed the engine with black wrinkle paint. Today a set of gold DBA slotted and cross drilled discs will go on (will take a pic when its completed) then the power FC and a bunch of other stuff.

Will post work as its done, sort of a build archive for anyone who's interested.

Cheers.

Edit: oops there's also a new water pump and radiator, though you can just see the new water pump in the pic.

Hey mate.

Is it a big job pulling the intake plenum out for painting?

Looks great mate. Looks angry hehe.

Yeah it is a big job mate. So big infact I took the mechanics advice and didn't do it :wave:

I just took it real easy and sprayed it whilst it was on.

If that isn't your thing and you can also buy a carbon fiber cover for the RB26 plenum.

Really? Where would I find something like that? They look any good? I thought it might be a big job thats why I asked.

    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
