Good work! Will be keen to see how your project unfolds! I was there the day she blew up at Sandown so keen to see you back on the track with this car!

although I agree with you that it looks tougher I am pretty certain it would give you a defect for not having the cam gears covered. get a clear timing or by my VHT one

No plans for aftermarket dumps in the future, if and when the turbos come off, they will be replaced by a single or high mounted twins

Completed fitting the tomei sump baffle today. To my surprise, the holes that needed to be drilled according to the instructions were already there!

So I got my money back from Bunnings for the 400mm long drill bit that I bought just for this!

Also cleaned the intercooler today...should have the clutch on tomorrow as well given that my friend can drop off the input shaft for me.

Weather is looking pretty crap for the end of the week so might not be able to get the engine in before the end of the week as the car sits outside :(

Updates and photos are becoming few and far between but progress has been good.

As per last post, the intercooler has been cleaned and plenty of coolant and oil came out of it with now only clear water running out which is a good sign.

Which also means everything that was connected to it suffered the same fate.

And the engine is now all bolted in, most of the loom all plugged up (correctly I hope), starter motor in, all that's left is the minor stuff. Let's hope for no more hiccups and a smooth sail start up by tomorrow night! Fingers crossed!

Unfortunately there was a bit of a problem...

Filled the thing up with fluids and water in the radiator. Noticed a leak and turned out to be turbo water lines

There's no way of me getting it tight enough on the engine so theyre coming back out to check all the banjos

are tight as a nun's you know what.

this is the very reason why I chose to replace the oem water and oil lines with braided lines.

ANDDDD turbos back on! So the banjos were hand tight only, must've slipped my mind to tighten them after installing onto the engine. Nothing is leaking now and tomorrow will be the start up day if nothing else happens touchwood!

So got the roadworthy no worries and just been doing little bits and pieces here and there now before I can chuck all the other stuff on after VicRoads tomorrow :D

My friend came over and took some better quality shots of my car for me so here they are!

      To be Frank (always liked that name), I reckon this is a better idea. I'm an R32 man from day 1 and the really good surviving examples that are still in stock form should stay that way. Let ye conscience guide you my son 🙂
