hopefully by the end of this year start of next, then we'll be talking fast. apparently the engine has something like 600nm's stock , with a blower OMG!!! that would be stupid, and im just the young stupid guy to do it!!!

good work NA_33 !

just a quick word on half cuts... (just finished a turbo conversion in my little Bro's L Series Subaru)

Check how long its being sitting around, coz the radiators tend corrode when empty - get it thoroughly flushed.Do the same with the water pump - there buggers to get out once the engines in.

just a couple of things i found out thrpugh experience - blocked water galleries in the block - pains in the a** to flush out !

best of luck anyway :)

hahahaha, yeah true!!

New Update:

The engine is now out of the halfcut and we discovered a broken timing chain guide so that has slowed things up abit but apart from that the engine internally looks awesome, never been to hot or run out of oil and all parts have minimal where its unreal. Tomorrow ill pulling the engine out of my car and trial fitting the V8 and making engine mounts so it all seems to be coming together, ill try get some pics together.

Cheers

yeah mate thats my install which is now all chopped up, and no i dont have ne in the build process other then that one, that was the unfinished state. Ive got pics of the build process for the new install. Pm me if you want details on how i built the one in my avatar, the best way would be to meet up some time and explain it to you, its kinda of hard to describe.

Genesis: If i wasnt at uni i would say almost definately, but it will be very tight mate, we'll see.

Update:

Ive done some more research and found a site with approx 600 posts with the same problem though everyone of these people had the timing chain jump teeth on the cam sprokets causing complete engine failure. So i have been very lucky with the engine and very lucky we found the problem and this website. Nissan rectified the problem in 94 with different tensioners so i now have a 10 day wait for the parts to come from Japan. I also managed to talk southport nissan into letting me see the wiring diagram for the car they generally dont show neone from the public nething like this.

someone wanna give me there number or give them a tip?? thats like a dream of mine. one day it will be worthy...

Email Ben Ellis, he is an absolute top bloke and is the publisher for HPI, you can find his email address on the contents page of every issue, but here it is, ben@hot4s.com.au good luck mate.

hahaha, im never gonna here the end of this auto, i want to put a manual in, my mechanic, good friend, person doing majority of the conversion for me for free (all the same person) is very very persuasive, and "hi powered autos are awesome for drag racing, ur leaving it auto John" is what im told and thats how its gonna be.

    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
