Hi just and update,

Be a slow process these last few weeks, not much left to go before we can crank the big bitch over for the first time.. Has got 15L of penrite run in oil, in the dry sump tank ready to rock. So the last few days iv been doing all the tidy up jobs. Not long now!!

just a quick question: when the engine torques will it do damaged to the top rad hose as its vertually rigid? Looks great though!

the wiggins clamps actually do have an amount of flex in them. I think it should be ok.

great build mate. should be a very, very, very fast car. :P Love that it's still a 2.7 and not a 30. I think for what you want a 2.6 or 2.7 is the way to go as you will want revs and lots of them. :devil:

what kind of gearbox are you going to run in it?

there's a little expandable piece inside. hard to explain but if you've ever held one in your hands and played with it a bit you'll get the idea. it's not a huge amount but they do allow both flex and twist without leaking.

The clamps have a fair amount of give in them, they are rubber o'ring sealed on a feral, the are a pain in the arse to put together but are extremely well made as these are the genuine Adel Wiggins clamps, the 4" clamp was worth $600 and thats each. If you you look at any top notch race cars, weather it be Ken Blocks Fiesta, GT Cars, majority of them run them.

Hi Guys

Another quick update for ya's, engine work is nearly complete, the wiring loom will be finished on thrusday, once thats done just gotta do brake lines and a few other tidy up jobs. Tomorrow we will be test fitting all the body panels and checking the lines of them all and adjusting them so they look shit hot. Here's some quick pics of the engine in its final stages (sorry about poor quality, get some better ones tomorrow).

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
