more baller status

Took it for a wet street session last night, open diff, no handbrake was interesting, i got home and noticed my drivers side wheel poking. Somehow the hub bolts on bottom of coilover have come loose and moved back in under the stress of slideways and i'll have to try move them again and fix it up.

Yeah maybe so, but i've got everything i need now, just help from mates. Once we get turbo setup on, and intake side done, Fabulous fabrication will come do me a dump pipe and all cooler piping + new system and then i'll just get ECU and tuning done should be only 3 months hopefully haha. Only doing it as it will save me over a thousand dollars instead of paying someone haha, but yeah ill miss streeting

Also got my lines for my turbo setup, all braided lines, with heat wrap and genuine speedflow fittings!

Since my cars been hesitating since day one, we had alook at the fuel pump in the tank and found a majority of the problem! They cut the hardline to fit a bigger pump and the rubber line wasn't meant for fuel and just had seen better days, so went down to repco got free fuel line LOL and off we went! Its semi fixed now, cant still fully hit boost but hopefully be sorted this weekend, got new plugs, O2 sensor and can also borrow another S2 ECU see how it goes, as we want it 100% fixed before the overhaul.

also had to custom cut the rear to fit S2 lights, and they look baller! the pained the sections that had been cut with anti rush paint.

well been a while since i updated

1530516_681604331859656_1158799052_n_zps

basically took the covers off the rb25 to look at the internals and cams were scored, pretty bad
1530394_10201292972232535_1767760117_n_z
1530474_10201292973632570_1939446070_n_z

so then decided id get a reco head, im going to be pushing 300+ kw and dont want to have shitty internals. Bought a recod 25 head, with oil feed tapped in for 25/30 build, contemplated it but yeah didnt.
1533321_10202087805709087_1101869205_n_z

anyway, later on that day we took the head off completly and well....

1551488_681953098491446_2074011098_n_zps

pistons scored, piston walls not good nic either. I was pretty pissed at this stage, anyway then i was like well bottom end rebuild was on the cards, got some figures and it wasnt feesable ( just lost my job @ start of new year )

anyway, had some money still cause im an amazing saver, and i saw a built rb25 come up for sale, with tomei 264 cams, valves and what not had been done in top end. New MLS headgasket and studs and had only done 2 track days and made 300kw. went and saw it running, was mint. so i bought it.

pulling the 25 block out, and new motor in background with my bolt ons

and heres the 25 with my garret 3076r on a 6boost manifold.
IMG_0767_zps8a068e48.jpg

well this has been a few months, ill try to remember.

basically, not long after the last update, we had a month to vacate the current house so i moved and had an old style garage now, so i can leave as many marks, stains etc on the floor, so took a photo no long after

1604388_724353730918049_1330560944190715

then it was a garage ornament for a while, as i bought a new daily to mess around with and make money off. a dirty31 was a mission to get as me and my mate jack was told it was in lismore, we live north brisbane, so we left brisbane at around 6:30 got to lismore like 9:30 then he says its at " dunes " 30 min inland, like all rural, anwyay get there, and buy it for 1900. had s13 conversion, camber top coilovers, locker, manual, hydro, centreline 14x7-11, exhuast etc had a few minor issues. we missioned home, ran out of fuel at the border, both our phones died, trying to find a petrol station in nsw is f**ked, like they cant make signs properly, anyway found petrol. Then temp gauge was reading 100+ degrees, pulled over checked it all out didnt seem hot, anyway didnt get home till 3:30am had to be up @ 5am for work, wasnt fun.
