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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
