Its at all performance garage getting fab work done, heres some pics off his fb page. Change of plan on the tune as well going to be tuned at efi and going all out with a vipec or haltech not sure which yet but will speak to the tuner and pick one.

Wow looking awesome! And man yeah, that setup with a ViPEC would be pretty much getting into my perfect road car territory :D (possible with AWD, as even then traction loss would be a thing haha).

Cheers for the update :)

A bit of a update, still slowly coming along, southport exhaust done a absolute shit job and charged a arm and a leg for it so thats had to be fixed up. On a positive note santa wasn't to bad and left a nitto cam gear cover, cusco brake stopper, nismo clutch bracket and a haltech plug in, also got a puppy rottweiler.

Gonna paint the bay? That chassis rail also looks a bit worse for wear. Gonna give the car some love or is it all engine?

Never been one for the show and shine side of things, car is being built for bulk skids not for picking up 16yo that like shiny things

That exhaust looks mint (as well as all the other fabrication), but I gotta ask, why no screamer? :P Haha. I'm sure it wouldn't be too loud lol.

Car looks great, going to be an epic street car, can't wait to hear it.

What happened to the gold cam covers?

Cheers mate, the wastegate pipe can be shifted to the left and i have a blanking plate for the vband on the dump pipe so can have the option of a screamer. Still have the gold cam covers but had these ones on while everything was being fitted up. Having dramas with removing the comp cover off the turbo. The fabricator is being a c*nt too and wants nothing to do with it which makes me think he's done something to it when welding the elbow on. One thing after another with this car. 3 workshops ive had dramas with now since building this car.

Which fabrication place is giving you troubles?

Mick from apg, his work looks good from a distance but so much was missed and he said he ran out of time but he had the car for 7 weeks, no beads on the end of cooler piping, no bracket for the oil catch can just jammed in between the headlight assembly and fuse box, fittings not welded on that i asked for. Too top it off i waited 2hrs on the day i told him to pick it up because he slept in then said i never told him i was going to be there, it was a Wednesday at 10 30 when he turned up too. He's not bad on the welder just a brain dead c*nt

So it lines up his intercooler pipe work like the first pic on this page. I don't know but thanks for the clarification on who you were talking about.

It's hard to find places that do quality work, on time for a good price. Never hard to find someone who will take ur money though lol.

Can i ask why ya trying to rotate the comp housing mate?

He left the core with the oil drain facing up, so thats not going to work. We tried to unbolt the comp cover to spin the core but its that tight it wont move. Mick told me the original o ring was split so he replaced it. I asked him what he did to it and he takes no responsibility which makes me think he's done something to it.

Took the turbo to mta on the gold coast and he removed the comp cover and showed me the o ring that the smoker fitted, was too big which jammed it tight also the wrong type which would have perished, another set back now waiting for the correct o ring from merica. Sick of paying brain dead c*nts when they obviously aren't up to the task

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
