As long as you have similar turbo port, you could "match port" them all depending on the two exhaust housing patterns you are trying to match.

Don't worry Joel, progress continues, I'll reply to your text in a minute

Ahhh sweet I'll look into ;-)

And I finally invested in some gas lenses for my torch and I must admit they made alot of difference to the apperance of the welds(oxidisation) only played with stainless but getting some really nice colors with the welds the gas coverage is awsomE :-) best 10 dollars I spent this week hahaha

It's all good, I am self taught and it would have been good to have the basics right from the start to save the time on trial and error, but hey, I'm slowly getting there but still have a very long way to go!

  • 2 weeks later...

Just a few of a couple of things I done on the weekend. I think I have got this new welder dialled in....just some minor things I needs to polish up on but it's good progress in my eyes.

Happy welding,

They are wiper bottles and coolant overflows for vl's.

Yeah the rb26 is still underway. Just trying to sort out some stuff with suppliers which is proving a little harder then expected since it is such a customised and detailed request.

Looks like you've made a radiator overflow for every single VL left on the road ;)

Actually the red one you seen here the other day needs a new one. Drop one past when you can, I don't have the time to design and fab it when you've area done it.

Spewing I packed up the tools just after calling you. I will get it ready tomorrow night and drop it off on Monday if that's not too late? If it is, let me know and we can sort something out

Ever thought about doing a PS reservoir for an R32? I am powder coating my PS pump over xmas and getting it converted to banjos (provided I can get one with a large enough orifice and going full threaded lines and would be interested in going allow reservoir

Yeah I have. I am just waiting on mine to be finished with the engine conversions and then I am going to do a hole heap of stuff for 32's.

I have already done them already for vl's and I can't see them bring all that different.

Here is a photo of one of my customers cars, Matthew Grace. Described in an article as "a giant-killing Datsun 1200" Matt took out the Sports GT-B class in Tasmania this and is currently being rebuilt after an accident ready to back it up in 2012.

Good luck Matt!!!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
