i used james race engines, i cant recommend those guys enough
they picked it up and dropped it off, kept me up to date, informed and explained every thing to me and made sure i understood, and really made me feel important.
the biggest wow is the quick turn around time, Hedley and Scott dont muck around one bit!

Not much so far. Cleaned the cold side and mocked it up.

Bolted the oil pump on.

Also, if your cars never had an oil pump change. Change it. Old pumps gear was cracked! Time bomb!

Yep pretty scary considering so many cars are out there with unopened engines. Might finish cleaning the cold side tomorrow and bolt everything up :) cannnnnnotttt wait until we put it in

New pump was always on the cards for mine. 170k on it and oil pressure was shithouse . New pump fixed it. $400 for the pump ex Nissan . Labour was the killer on it though.

Well that was a waste of time and money then.

So hell bent on getting a R32 GTB Replica Twin Turbo happening with full wide guards etc.

    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
