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!

    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
