I fully agree as before..

The general shape is based on an excel. But there is no excel left on it, except the roof. Everything else is sctatch built, even suspension arms are off a v8 supercar, RWD etc. there is nothing excel about it.

Id be seriously doubtful the doors will be left standard. If your going to that extent and changing quater glass to plexon, your looking for every kilo, and there are alot of them in doors.

haha, there is one with a VN engine and RWD conversion but i guess thats not as epic

that one's turbo too. despite the massive amount of quality work put into the sr20, i still like the VN powered one better. got more of a backyard feel i can relate too

Also, don't under rate the N/A sr20, going to run that for now and either re engine it down the track or build a complete new car with a larger engine. Just had a look at the lap times of the r35gtr is running in the GT series, we should be doing very similar times with a N/A 2 litre...

850kg wet (driver fuel the whole lot) and 260 odd hp.

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
