Yep, no way I am taking that risk!!

I think the brand new Tomei oil pump was one of my first additions to the ever growing parts pile...

Must have missed putting a photo or two up of it...will get onto that ASAP

A few more additions below:

1. Hi Octane cam cover baffles

2. Hi Octane Racing custom oil/air separator (still 1 x fitting to be added + painting)

Reimax oil pump gears in the standard pump is a great option too

[R32 Stuart]

Looking good, Welsh plugs - all new - yes? and all hoses, under inlet all new - yes? You don't want to be playing under that side after!

Never really got time to look into this option. Mechanic said get the Tomei pump or otherwise dry sump it!! Brand new Tomei pump came up at an unreal price so that was that...

Ha these are probably the last two items on my list! Have been struggling with part number for hoses under plenum for weeks...

Another critical item complete!

Capacity increased to 8L whilst retaining standard pick-up and sump depth

Will get some motor progress pics this weekend hopefully

Ah cheers Steve. Motor is currently going back together and MAYBE will be done by EOY, but that's a BIG maybe...really trying not to rush any aspect of the build

Haven't got too much left to get ordered/sorted so starting to get excited!!

Motor is now in the hands of 'the Mechanic' who has been my rock thus far. Crank back from crack/hardness tested, linished, size checked, nose ground/collar fitted, gallery plugs drilled/tapped.

Thought I should share the most important piece of my build design concept:

I came across this old school metal HKS emblem in a local Jap wreckers and got it thrown in with a Nismo flywheel (which is now subsequently not not needed and is FOR SALE - PM me for details) I purchased...

I have always loved the signature colours of HKS (green & purple) and have used this emblem as a basis for my complete engine bay design and with the car in general...

Will let the photos do the talking...updates coming soon

They happen to have anymore of those stickers? Possibly without the yellow background?

Just read your build thread. Nice write up man, way to keep the suspense.

Its refreshing to see people giving to original Godzilla the attention they well deserve
