so much blasphemy in this thread

I know, there's like 5 pages of turbo and RB rubbish... Maybe I should delete the first few pages...

[MBS206]

So, more shit ordered for Brad to keep going on this for me...

Starter motor should arrive by Friday at my place for it.

Also need to give a big thanks to Chris from Craved Coatings, many moons ago I sent him a heap of crap and went "Do stuff with it yeah?", I did tell him that I had no rush for it, as it was going to be a long project, and I emphasised this (When you actaully want stuff quickly he turns it around quickly!) but I got my gear back, and it looks SUPERB!

I'll get some photos up of his stuff soon.

I've had Chris do a few bits and pieces now, and his work is ALWAYS superb, at good prices! Seriously, send him your shiznit for powder coating!

[Risking]

I did get your email or text or whatever it was that you sent me.

Been stupid busy with a few cars for the Sau track day and haven't had a chance to get any decent photos.

I'll make time tomorrow to do it.

[MBS206]

So... I told you all Craved returned some parts to me... He did an excellent job...

I've also got the new ECU in... Just waiting on the loom so it can be wired up.

I've also been playing with the headlights and trying to clean them up... Might have to send them away to be profesionally done though... Yay... More money... LOL

I also bought the starter motor that was required so Brad can start modding the steering rack...

I think he's lost his camera too

We did find out though, that custom extractors are the ONLY way to go... Yay... More money... LOL

So, just put a few more bits and pieces on order...

Last thing I need to buy for a while will be the loom for the ECU itself... Then I go back to the waiting game

[r33_racer]

Nice!

How much was the ecu?

[MBS206]

I bought it second hand off a mate who'd honestly used it long enough to dyno the car, and drive maybe 2 tanks of fuel on it.

RRP is $2500 IIRC...

How much did the DL1 cost you?

[ARTZ]

mine did , make sure its a hight tensile bolt though

+1 done it a few times as well..

is this thing still getting a V* or have plans changed

[MBS206]

From what Brad has told me, and others have seen as well, the Ls1 and T56 are in and mounted. Last I heard te mounts haven't been 100% welded as Brad was waiting on the starter motor to make sure he only had to mod the rack and not move the motor further.

Wirin loom should turn up to him in 2 weeks time and just need plugs put on it.

Once it's mounted I understand we'll then be waiting on the front half of the tail shaft to be made. We spoke and decided on a 2piece shaft.

[Risking]

I been busy and slack. It's in an mounts are machined up and bolted to the block.

I'll take some photos over the weekend

So, I gave myself a birthday present of a day off work, and decided to head up to take some snaps so Brad didn't need to worry with photos.

From under neath

Holden thought of the R33 when they made this sump... It fits perfectly...

Supposedly a cat lives here...

I'm going to need to change this

This will cause issues...

See... They do fit...

Just...

Although, it does sit nice and low...

At least I can get to the gearbox bolts easily...

Because of how well the sump fitted the cross member, it's staying where it is, as you can see, it could be shoved back a bit, but that sump is such a good fit!

[Craved]

hows the shifter location?

got much room to spin the steering rack to get the rest of it to fit?

[MBS206]

The shifter works out in nearly the standard location, slightly rearward, but because of the height of the box, the trans tunnel will need a slight mod around the shifter hole to allow the box to sit up all the way.

The back of the box still needs to go between 1 to 2 inches higher when it gets bolted up properly, so the motor will tilt slightly further forward. Even more clearance...

As to the rack, it actually needs to be moved to the drivers side a fair bit to make it fit. It's majorly in the way... A bit more obvious in person.

[BOZ22N]

Looks good Matt it will be v cool when done.

[Clappa]

Looking forward to seeing this weapon on a track. What cam are you putting in the beast?

[mungy]

wow this thing is amazing! i really want to see a vid of it on the track when its done
