Just have some other things going in that are alot more important.

I havent seen the car for about 2 months.

Im going there tonight.

Sit in it. Start it etc.

See if that riles anything up.

I said the same thing the other week.

My missus punched me in the arm, called me a faghet, then told me to get my shit together and finish the darn thing.

Finish it dude, you'll be happy once its back on the road

Haha well.

After the whole world called and egged me on to finish it.

Ive decided to finish it and enjoy it.

Thanks guys <3

Went to see it today.

Im over it.

I dont know why. I just am.

Il keep the motor, wheels and kit though

besides all of that. as of today. the head studs have been purchased, HKS GTSS turbos, Gates timing belt and water pump kit and the body has been blocked back and ready for wet sanding.

were hoping it will be in the oven on monday afternoon :)

You can get em reupholstered, genuine Recaro fabric is like $50 a metre for the standard stuff though :S. Any decent interior joint should be able to replicate the Recaro logo.

Having the brand stitched in comes at a price.... I got my racing seat re-done in a pretty basic fabric without Sparco emblem and wasnt particularly cheap. (mind you racing seat has the wire pulling it tight and got new cushions too)

Rails havent arrived yet. Ill see tomorrow.

Doors are on and being aligned. Some gaps we cant improve on but hey. Its fibreglass. Too much filler and itll be perfect and eventually crack like a mofo so ill live with it.

Also.

Cars almost ready for paint

Turbos arrived and are in perfect nic.

George (OMGGTR) Is coming to do thr timing on the motor and bolt the head down.. its all happening gentlemen. ;)

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
