Hello everyone i'm finally back from my long holiday closedeyes.gif

So here is a bit of an update on my build thread.

Over the last couple of months I have bought.

Tomei Type B valve springs and retainers

Garrett 2860-5's turbine housing both ceramic coated

Nitto H-Beam Rods

Turbo Braided Oil and Water Lines

Radiator Hoses.

1.1mm oil restrictor

Tomei Extreme Dumps

HKS Front Pipes

All my engine covers and exhaust manifolds back from Craved Coatings (Thanks Chris Awesome work!!!!! thumbsup.gif)

Twin turbo pipe also has splitter in it too.

As for the block and head it is still currently getting machined and serviced

I still have a few more things that need to be purchased still and I'm hoping my car is back on the road around march??

The covers are not purple just appear in the photos like that lol.

Here are some photos of the gear.

Hey Nick :)

Reusing his HKS cams, 264deg 8.8mm lift. Told him a higher lift would help torque but that would be more $$$ again...

They do sound like the tomei 260deg poncams I had in my 32GTR at idle though :D

Just picked up the block and crank from the machinist.

Building will start soon!!

First pic is the block on the honing machine, the torque plate is still attatched to the top of the block.

The ports got a bit of a clean up, removing steps in the radius etc, and that was about it. I didn't remove the 'humps' in the exhaust ports, just my choice :D .

Just to prove I ain't ripping off web pics, my ugly mug lol. Putting grubscrews into crank, loctited in to be sure.

Crank getting fitted and measured up for bearing clearances 0.0015"-0.002" from memory, thrust 0.011". Girdle torqued up, and you can just see the 3 long studs that have been shortened to clear sump and driveshaft tube. 55FT-LB.

Pistons and rods getting some attention. Piston rings clocked as per service manual.

Fitting the piston and rod into the bore. Rod bolts, I tightened them using a bolt stretch gauge on the 3rd cycle. 0.0055" stretch.

Today piston to deck height will be measured and if all good it'll all be put together permanently.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
