Yes, I have been budgeting for this build for 2 years working 6 days a week.

I have been sacrificing all unnecessary luxuries for this - No beer!, no going out, no movies etc. I WISH I had too much money.

In fact, I am still working 6 days a week, preparing for Racepace's BILL..... :D

I will pics of brakes tonight.

Edited by Houghy
Can someone recommend a workshop who can carry out the engine build and tuning, besides RACEPACE.
Racepace has taken on the job

:) I lol'd

Kit costs $9500-9800 depending on vendor.

:rant: Fark man. Your brakes are worth more than most cars on the road.

Yes, it is very astute of you to notice that I asked for recommendation for a workshop for the build besides Racepace and then to announce a week or so later that Racepace has taken on the job. I have a very good explanation for this strange behavior. However, I am not at liberty to disclose this until the time is appropriate.

I will post pictures of V Cam unwrapping over weekend perhaps.

    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
