33 Gts-T Build...

Hey guys, just thought I should update you, I have been knuckling down and redoing most of my car since joining you guys, we have carried out...

Gearbox freshen up, new button clutch, lightened flywheel, rebuilt and shimmed diff, 2 new tyres, new bushes, alot of cleaning, neatening up of things like bumper mounts, wiring, plumbing etc... Engine out - good degrease of all the bay and tunnel, new hoses, engine mounts, rack ends, tie rod ends, trunion bearings, nolathane bush kit from front to back of it, water pump, gates racing timing belt kit, crank seals, cam seals, high flow thermostat, fuel filter, iridium plugs, the usual fun bits like a couple stickers got slapped on, new turbosmart blow off valve purchased and fitted because it was just dosing and I hope to keep it alive the best we can so I figured it was cheap insurance, then continued on maintenanced based things like oil, filter, coolant etc which made it in to the mix after we stripped the engine for its freshen up - CP forgies, cometic head gasket, fully balanced, honed 40thou o/s, decked block, shaved head, polished valves, full nissan genuine gasket kit half manifold gasket and all, race series bearings, all sorts of add ons joined in like turbosmart fuel pressure reg, billet adjustable steering wheel spacer (->80mm) etc, got the fuel system a nice new run of teflon braided lines to supply the surgie and 044 and down to the factory lines under the car then up to the twin entry fuel rail to get rid of the incorrect lines that had been fitted previous to purchasing the car that were leaking vapour - yes, in the boot it smelt of fuel near the battery (yuk), I did have some fun also by doing the bonnet stop removal and some panel alignment work, then we hit up the new precision head bolts, main bolts etc and started closing her all up. I did get a bit of paint work in while we were going like the valve covers, block, sump etc to neaten the finished look for once we were all done.

We are currently waiting on the car to get tuned and Im sure Ill be able to set you all up with some photos soon, we will upload the photos that we have plus the photos from the tune and dyno sheets etc once the car comes back... Im hopeless and I apologise in advance because Im new to forums so I may get side tracked enjoying the car before posting pics but I will update you once I have all the shots together...

No trouble mate, thank you for the compliment, I have 156 shots thus far but as you can imagine there are alot of funny shots, double ups etc... We will narrow them down and post up the ones that explain things best and show things all done... Just really think its best to put up all the shots late next week when we get the car back and I can show you all the Dyno runs too... I cant wait!
