Luke i'll use the gts4 seat if I can't find some recaro's or bride seats. It was interesting that the engineer said if

I brought seat rails or built them either way he would have to inspect them.

She's really coming along nicely. I badly want to see this smoke so many others that have no idea what's in it, at the drag strip.

Keep up the excellent work man,

Pathos.

Absolutely super impressed!! You clearly have amazing talent, Coming from a background growing up with old holden's and coming into the Jap scene, I am loving this build, will e fantastic to watch on a circut

Had a bit of a side project for a mate, before he fitted his new motor he wanted paint the engine bay and asked me to fix some rust

and fill all the holes in the engine bay.

Now back to mine, fitted the fuel tank, changed the r33 hand brake cables to the r32 ones and fitted the rest of the hand brake.

Also fitted the ATTESA pump and started working out which line I would be able to reuse. I might bolt everything together

and take it to Show us ya wheels at Numurkah in December.

Got a bit more done, fitted the motor and gearbox, tacked up the gearbox cross member using the skyline one. Fitted 10mm

spacers between the front subframe and the adapter plates to drop the motor down a bit for more bonnet clearance and fitted

the radiator and intercooler.

Thats it!!!

Barstardise the shizzle out of that Holden!!

I would love to see this thing on the street when it is finished.

Will scare the crap out of alot of people, and confuse many more.

You work quick mate. Are you going to fully seam weld those chassis rails or just leave them stitched? Interested to know why?

Generally it's to stop potential cracks spreading along the length of a seam.

I can't get enough of this build; it's my two favourite cars made into one piece of awesomeness.

Interesting and makes sense, cheers! And I agree, this car is going to be mental!

Made up a dodgy clutch line to check if the under the dash master cylinder setup I made works, after bleeding it the pedal feels alot lighter

then the skyline pedal. Gave it a quick coat of etch primer to tidy it up. Not much more will be done to this one as I need to

finish painting my other torana sedan.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
