Looks like there's room to slot the first hole a bit so it bolts up?

My GKTech one fits perfect :P

I fitted a new modified oil pump and the sump/front covers on the 1uz today. Hoping I got the cam timing right lol

Should've gone gktech!

Even if I mounted the lock bar it wouldn't help. The toe arm bolts are actually too big for the lock bar as well unfortunately

On the weekend i pulled my turbo out as i m going a different set up :)

Found out that there was a few washers broken on the exhaust manifold studs and it was leaking, so ordered new ones.

next is to take the intake side out and the head out so i can change the headgasket and put a 1.5mm oil restrictor in the block

And run more boost.

So... Rosie is getting:

a new clutch (Xtreme HD single plate)

splitfire coil pack

and the front lip

I also got the paint repaired on my mirrors and right front wheel guard.

I've got a track day on 25th of August so pretty keen for that - hopefully the clutch isn't all too hard.

Got a front lip painted and installed today.

The past 2 weeks Rosie has had quite a bit done. My last addition is a high stand GTR spoiler. I always said to myself I wouldn't do it but I cannot stand the GTT spoiler so off it comes !

Very Nice. :thumbsup:

Beware the touch down.

Today is the test with work carpark :( If I crack it 12 hours after installing I will be very upset T_T

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
