Thanks Chris, I feel like im doing a lot but the car is kinda going no where a bit at the moment. its all pretty much waiting for the motor to get done and for me to save some more $$.

Noel's old engine aye? I recall that being quite the unit

Yeah mate, Noels old donk. He bought my old one too. His motor was too good a unit at the price not to buy in my eyes

And cute ankle biter, love the blue cattledogs

He is definitely cute, and an ankle biter.

Safe to say this thread has been very very non active of late, which really is a true reflection of the work doing on with the car at the moment. Slow and steady wins the race here at the moment. SOld some parts, bought some parts.

MOTOR : Turns out even the rods on the bottom end were no good so new pistons and rods have been ordered and arrived. Pistons are JE 40thou Pistons. Block is currently 20thou. ROds that have been ordered are Spool rods.

I also dropped off the crank this week too to get a last ditch attempt to save it. Not overly fussed if not as ive got a new one lined up and just got to get a collar on it.

CAR: Not much car wise has happened for a while looks wise. Just been picking up parts here and there really. I did manage to pick up a set of sway bars for the car which seem to be a serious bit of gear and hard to come by through Whiteline in these sizes

Front is a custom 33mm Inc big sump clearance
Rear is 29mm

Also ditched the GT wing look as getting it right was giving me the shits too much so I picked up a bootlid with duck wing that needs some paint but should turn out fine and do the job

the dog has also taken up shotgun for all car part runs of late and seems to enjoy the trips

Not sure if i posted this previously or not but I ditched the Nardi deep dish wheel for a flat Sparco wheel and quick release. Poor pics but it looks a lot better

Last of all I got bored so test fitted my 26 covers and trigger setup on the head. Photos dont do the colours justice and they combine really well in person IMO.

Not too much happening here on the motor side of things but there is a lot of changes to the car itself which is going to be keeping me busy. Ive decided to throw a GTR front end onto the car and with a series 2 gtst this isnt the most straight forward of tasks. Anyway Ive been able to source all the parts needed and started to test fit it.

Comparison from GTST to GTR guards

Also picked up a GTR front bar and grill

Also thought about running this badge to stir up all the gtr owners out there

ha stir all the GTR owners. Love your build dude keep it up

[SCR48]

I also sourced a Greddy RB26 plenum for my motor. BEing a rb25 head I will have to run adaptor plates for the plenum and ITB's to work properly

Plenum fresh from the sand blasters

Decided to give it a Carbon Hydro-Dip to see how it would look. This finish may or may not last, Im not overly fussed either way and really just did it as i was curious to see the end product and how it would hold up to the element of an engine bay.

Finished product after a clear coat

Still a heap of things to update on over the coming days

[MathewZ]

haha nice hydrographic iw as thinking about doing my RB26 covers in carbone. hydro dipped. but doing someth8ing nicer

What Cas setup are you using?

BTW you should get the S3 front lip for your GTR bar.

[SCR48]

Thanks Mathew, No CAS on this car mate. Gone to a trigger setup.

In regards to the front car lip. At this stage all i want it to get it all together first then i will work on the minor touches.. but it might need something thats for sure

Everything GTR is expensive mate. They all have the GTR tax incorporated into the price.

^ all for the GTR name Ants!

I also took a picture of my parts room at home a few weeks back. Few of these bits are now sold, however it made for a good photo :-)

[MagicMikeZ32]

Plenum looks the goods. Interested to know how much of the inside got covered?
