Haha motor is out now they got you locked in. Brace yourself for the wait ?

Daz , your the type of bloke that tries to stop the world turning, killer of dreams and one that stomps on optimists, I hate you because you may be right,hahha

We will see , I have faith in these people to deliver on time, you blokes do not know about this type of build thing. Shit , I have been modifying cars for 8 months and know everything :)

Found the motor :)

I certainly hope so, that's how I would have done it

Build the bottom end before yanking the motor from the car then transfer every thing across, upgrading as they go

that was to be finished weeks ago but there was a problem, but the main thing is it is on the go :)

I can understand your anxiety and frustration.

My build started in June 13 when I dropped off the stroker kit and N1 block. It went into the shop around November 13 and I picked it up after run-in with the powertune sorted last Thursday. (There was approx 6 weeks of panel and paint sub-letted to another workshop early this year though that was the only 'side' job)

Though there are few workshops you can trust and expect quality work (especially in W.A) and it all ends up taking longer then expected due to other customers builds of course and usually a few hiccups along the way.

But the end result will be worth it!

All the best with your build mate ;)

Well , that story doesn't help , haha

Shat, it seems that it does not matter where you live the results are the same, they do it in their own time and do not seem to care about the time frame.

But this mob has done everything they said they would do for me on time so I still have a couple of weeks until they are over and it is only that I am getting nervous about my expectations of the results, it is an expensive exercise and it does not matter how many blokes say it is going to be OK, I wonder if I expect too much from the extra .6Lt to give me the response I want without pushing the crap out of it?

Time will tell :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Well my optimism is dwindling :(

RB30 block not back yet , I understood from a few blokes that this could be done quickly as it is not a big job for a well equipped workshop ?

Trannie pulled down, has a problem and still in bits , but no real problem.

Head still out being "worked on"

Asked for a finish date, could not get one :(

BUT I am sure it will be done soon and I will be driving it before Xmas :)

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
