Started fitting the tunnel, brought some cleko's last summit order so I thought I would give them a go.

They made it a lot easier to trial fit the tunnel since I had it in and out about twenty times. After I had the tunnel neatly lapping

over the floor I started cutting 50mm at a time then tacking and hammer and dolly.

There may be a career in this transformation gig once your done. Let me be the first to get in line to order same conversion please :-)

I have owned multiple LH/LX Torana's and also multiple R33 Skylines - they are both(by a country mile) my favourite vehicles.

So if you feel you you would like do repeat the process once this one is complete - I'm here........admiring your talent and frankly great taste in cars :-)

Dean, I've had a couple of people contact me about doing the conversion for them but i'm to busy doing my own projects.

Bit more chopping.

Before fitting the rear section I made a 100mm dimple and then cut a 90mm hole in the centre.

Setting in place.

This is the reason for the hole.

All the tunnel is now welded in, also re-shaped the cross brace under the back seat that I cut out to fit over the new tunnel,

this will be welded in after the engineer does his next inspection. Also started the drivers side seat mounts.

Thought that was a joke haha, couldn't get a helper i guess.

God knows why! If I lived within 100km of this build I'd jump at the chance to be a helper. Although I doubt whether I'd be worthy enough to be in the same shed as this masterpiece.

Had the engineer look at it today, he was happy with what I have done so I finished welding in the seat mounts and the cross

brace under the back seat. Also sat the steering column, seat and centre console in to see how they looked.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
