Objective was to make it look as stealth/clean as possible. Will probably end up going a stock route Blitz cooler down the road to make it look standard as possible.

Who woulda known there's a GT3076R lurking under there :)

f**k yeah! post more vids of it being driven and such!!

ok ok :P

Not tuned yet, only running 10psi but safely rich (dips to 11s and sometimes high 10s) and no ping ping. Doing a bit of a shakedown and sorting out a few issues (car has been off the road for 18 months) before I chuck it on the dyno and wind the boost up :devil:

Ah. just thought I would throw some pics up.

Only just running in , done 500kms so far so gud!

done what I believe is the absolute MINIMUM for a reliable build. + I threw in some old engine building skills cause I have got alot of spare time.

Brand new 25 oil pump

crank collar

Blueprinted complete bottom end.

Removed all casting flashes in block, crank, rods,

Polished, streamlined crank and rods

Balanced complete rotating assembly

New cast pistons (standard pistons so 8.3:1 comp)

oil restrictors 1.5MM(both)

opened up oil returns

got a good set of rings on my 3rd box , NPC rings were too tight, Hastings rings were all consistently 10 though too large, found the happy medium with acl rings.

Nissan bearings

mls head gasket

arp head stud kit + rod bolts

std cams + mild port job to head.

Remove casting flashes, imperfections, port matched to both inlet and exhaust manifold.

CC combustion chambers

Internal vct mod

Helicoiled every single thread on the exhaust side.

6boost, , plazmaman, 3076R.82Rear ext gate and 3.5inch turbo back.

only at run in stages, big difference in torque between this and the standard 25 that I had in place.

can't wait to get it tuned!!!!

having had my pod where yours is before, you will notice an improvement in power if you get it away from there and into the corner where it can get non radiator/exhaust manifold heated air.

Ive gone from having the pod in the corner to having it smack bang on the turbo.

Maybe because its winter(/end) but I haven't really noticed any difference bar the throttle response.

didn't change my mph down the 1/4 and sounds/looks alot better.

having said that, I will probably do back to back on the dyno and post them up

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
