Yeah looks at home but now iv put the engine on the normal slant the rear turbo is hitting the abs unit and leaves no room for a dump so after pulling my hair out and destroying a manifold I'm having to bite the bullet and go a bigish single. So a t67 will be going on now I need a manifold which leaves me 2 optons I either make one from scratch or buy a cheap one and spend a few hours cleaning it up and re welding till I'm happy all comes down to time which Im short on. This weekend me and dori34 are going to crack the wip and get it to the point where its ready to only have to do the hot side. So this weekend will be wiring, drive shaft. Raidator install and hook up, connect needed vac and heater hoses, cold side cooler piping, install injectors, install seats and finally install sensors and gauges. It's a big list but should get it done with 2 blokes fingers crossed

There is but it's tight turbo would have to sit between cil 3&4 but the engine mount is there and the rack sits back 120mm then a skyline rack making it hard to get to the lower controll arm bolts. If top mounted it will sit between cil 1&2 or 2&3. Not sure how easy it would be to low mount a t67 and tial gate kinda need to buy the turbo before deciding

So next weekend I'm going to spend the whole weekend working on the girl bribed a mate with beer to do all the lock changes and few other bits. I'll be finishing off the bay hoping to get it to the point where it's only exhaust

I'm out of time and money needs around 2 g and it's done I'm devo plus someone stole all my gauges and a stainless manifold the other day so that puts me back there to. The plan was to keep the car sell the 26 buy a cheap 25 and I could finish it. My daily shat a motor today and tow costs and repairs near left me a g out of pocket with no car all while trying to tow a car so I'm stuck. If the 26 sells it will be finished if not will sit there till I have the money

Hahahahaha what happened to this car/project.........

Oh that's right BSA got kicked out of the unit he was living in and left the car sitting in the parking spot! Abandoned the car and left the real estate to clean up his mess.

What's happening with this build? Still going?

My current weekend car is a 98' E36 318is.

I was thinking of doing an individual throttle body kit on my car and rebuilding the motor with 3.2L M3 internals. Would be great fun with a high-revving 1.9L 4cyl making ~200hp.

What kind of coin is required to do the RB25 or the SR20 conversion? If it's cheaper by a long mark I may look down that avenue instead....

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
