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!

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.

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 :P

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

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 :(

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...

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.

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.

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

Supposedly a cat lives here...

254811_1970111286989_1069171597_32278782_3090950_n.jpg

I'm going to need to change this

253478_1970111847003_1069171597_32278783_830865_n.jpg

This will cause issues...

253436_1970110366966_1069171597_32278779_925595_n.jpg

See... They do fit...

251246_1970113447043_1069171597_32278789_5573734_n.jpg

Just...

251113_1970117807152_1069171597_32278808_5467164_n.jpg

Although, it does sit nice and low...

264440_1970116207112_1069171597_32278799_2163567_n.jpg

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!

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... :D

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.

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      Rear suspension upgrades

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
