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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
