Looking great mate, keep the pics coming!

Are you re-installing the air con or leaving that out? Power steering cooler as well or re-installing the standard horrid-looking finned coil thing?

Nope, Not interested in Aircon, Takes up to much room and looks ugly D: After a nice clean unique bay. Standard PWS pump staying but being painted, brackets and all. All hicas coming out so shouldn't look to bad behind

Stick with it mate it's a good documentary of the work your doing. When are you planning to have it fired up?

Hoping before christmas actually! But to be honest I don't think it's gonna happen, Still waiting on brakes, And funds are getting a bit dry.

Nice GTR....Think I remember this for sale a few years ago. Was actually gonna go take a look at it. If it's the same car that is, pretty sure it was a fellow SAU members.

It was - Luckily you didn't buy it, Because it was f**ked :)

What sort of power you expecting out of this thing mate?

We're sticking with an OS giken Twinplate, Because Ideally I want to keep it as a registered street car and I dont like the feel of triple plates, So the OS giken is probably the best on the market atm and maxes out at around 650hp, So we'll shoot for around that on E85, Should be nice smooth easy power,

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
