ok so on the hunt for someone to rebuild my engine...

engine was originally built by midnight mods, all other work done by RE Autoworks (back in 2005-6). My run-ins with RE the last year havent been too fruitful, but I found out on the weekend he has now merged with RTR in Dandenong, who are reputable and seem like nice guys. and Ray knows the engine pretty well, so could be beneficial

So far on my list is:

DrDrift

Forced Motorworx

RTR

any other suggestions?

What about Tony's engine rebuilder?

Michael? He's pretty good, him and his dad have a shop! Should see the one in his garage!

Yeah alot of workshops outsource alot for the engine building processes to specialised workshops. As you need quite specific and expensive equipment.

Michael is an engine rebuilder by trade. So only thing going in that workshop is engine rebuilds non stop!

Workshop is called Headspec in Mulgrave, If you want we can discuss your options over cofee or something one night and i'll ask Michael to come along if his free.

yeah Me and a buddy lifted a (used) 302 off the back of a ute to the ground..worst bit was finding it was a used 302 so we had to get it back on to take back to the shop

FYP

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
