Im still waiting for the following to arrive, Tomei stud caps, Tomei 1.5mm oil restrictor, ATI 1000hp balancer and a few other bits and pieces that i have forgotten. After countless delays and f**k ups im pleased that my build has picked up speed it seems like my goal of having the car back on the road at the end of the year is still in achievable.

Nice one Sedat. It is pleasing to hear that things are moving. There is nothing more frustrating than waiting for things to be done.

btw - what is the flow rate of that Nitto Oil Pump? Must a be a fair bit if it comes with a head oil drain.

Cheers Anth, the only flow rate figures i could find was 64.8 @ 7k rpm. I'll need to ask my engine builder to get 100% correct answer. The head oil drain was actually an add-on that i got. My engine builder suggested that i should have a oil return line from the back of the head going to the sump so i dont have any oiling issues when im revving the engine over 9k rpm.

Hey Sedat you probably are already aware of this not sure if it's stated in the info that comes with the pump but the Nitto pumps runs dual springs and you need to remove one otherwise your oil pressure will be around 140 psi. PM a member on her named Shazz as he just had to remove his engine to fix that problem.

    • Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.
    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
