Jordy32 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Been lazy on the update front so here's some pics!Swapped the engine, no fuss, towed it home from my dad's place to my friends fab shop for intercooler piping and some exhaust modifications, and finally back back home to do the fiddly stuff like electronics!Tomei fuel pressure reg, greddy profec OLED etc to go in]The OLED is a nice peice of kit! Made up some fuel lines with aeroflow 400 series rubber lines and their swivel fit 90's - the rubber is a personal thing, im not a fan of braided linesI also replaced the exhaust gaskets with FRUSH items, they are a reusable 7layer steel exhaust gasket, will be nice to see how they go! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448370-jordys-r32/page/3/#findComment-7551920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordy32 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Installed my oil catch can and lines, i used the aero flow push lock fittings which I'm a huge fan ofI also took my dump off and had a flex joint put in, i feel it's best i did this now rather than down the track, and the car isn't moving at the moment so i got that doneAnd got started on my rear subframe, i purchased a spare so i could do a straight swap, i got the old destroyed bushes out my warming them up.. loland when we got a little impatient with how long it was taking, we'd give it a bit of encouragement..Not one complaint from the neighbours either, i must be doing something right! - The subframe is currently at my friend's workshop getting the GKTECH weld in reinforcement plates welded in before getting powder coatedThe shop in charge of all of my fabrication work is Impossible Fabrications and are mainly known for their RWD SR20 Honda Civic.. If you need fabrication work done in sydney i can't suggest them enough Car is off to DVS JEZ for a tune next wednesday, so hopefully all goes well! - Will be back with some more pics ASAP!

Jordy32 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Righto! car is ready for tune! heading up to DVS JEZ on wednesday, hopefully all goes well.. Pretty keen to get back on the road, been a while!Here are some picsGot the cooling system being pressure tested, no leaks which is goodIntercooler piping back in, gave it a hit with primer and some satin black paint to help tie it in with the black engine bay. The blue silicon joiners will get changed eventually, but the focus right now is getting it running.. I also painted the rocker covers again as the wrinkle didn't look too great.. Finished it off with a brand new R34 GTR ornament cover, because well it looks great in my opinionLooking good in the sunCelebrated with some chocolate lol 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448370-jordys-r32/page/3/#findComment-7561074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a lovely chat about cars, parts and other car related things, i pat his cat and left.A little while later i received a call letting me know that there was an issue, whoever put my engine together had put the exhaust cam on 10 teeth out of line and that he would be fixing it.. I called the mechanic who built my engine who's "PHONE DIED" just after i said what had happened, who now won't reply to any of my messages or calls, f**king moron.. - ANYWAYCar got on the dyno!

Jordy32 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yeah man, it's a shame.. I'm just glad no damage was done..Well, the car is registered, woke up this morning and dropped the run in oil and replaced with some fresh penrite and then took it for a spin today just around my local area and wow it's fast, well much faster than it was and the response is incredible, I'm a very happy chap!I'm also really happy with the exhaust, i picked it up for $350 or so from a guy on facebook, it was an HKS 3" mild steel system with 2 mufflers and it sounds great! not overly loud with a really nice note, can't wait to open it up and get above 4k rpm.. lol 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/448370-jordys-r32/page/3/#findComment-7571431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
