Long block all togeather except lower cambelt cover. I also need to make up a piece to fit between the two covers to fill in the exposed space. Should get intake mani sorted this weekend and all aux. Still need to sort injectors and ECU but that should be it. Just have to build up the motivation to pull the motor out again..

A bit more progress. I got the flywheel machined again because im pretty sure it was out of balance after the first time and it has some pretty wicked heat spots on it. Got new heater, fuel and water hoses. Got a spiggot bush from nissan for $10 aswell. Thought it would have been more genuine.

Started to re-wire the injectors to suit Bosch injectors. Gave the engine bay a clean up and started preping the wheels to be re painted.

Picked up some parts to relocate the battery into the boot. I went with 35mm double insulated cable instead of 25mm because a few people told me i will get less voltage drop due to the length of the car. Only down side is i had to buy 10m of it. I was thinking maybe running the earth the length of the car as well should provide a better earth.

Here are some photos in no particular order of what i have done since the last photo update..

Removed the standard 20det clutch after i ran the motor in and fitted a excedy 5 puk clutch. Broke the top hose fitting off the radiator ( not very impressed ). Wired in Z32 AFM. Took it to Torque Performance and had a nistune board fitted and a custom tune done. Got half way through shimming my spare diff. Did the front brakes. Went to powercruise. It rained. If ive missed something the pics will explain.

Now i just want to get out and use it.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
