Rob from RIPS NZ has also been a huge help along the way from good solid advice to supplying me with outside the box thinking on how to make the powerglide sit flat in the car and retain 4WD compared to the massively rotated ugly transmission setups available here in Australia.

Rips gearbox and engine mount kit.

Standard gearbox cross member complete with mount 4.6kg, RIPS only 1.8kg complete.

nice

also why did you chose air to air instead of W2A for a drag car, gonna go cruising?

i did consider it but would've made running events like power cruise somewhat difficult aswell as adding more complexity to the system. If i was looking for every last HP i could find and dropping a ton of weight i would've done it for sure.

Awesome, love the welch plug caps!

I'm glad it's you wearing the cost of all this, dammmmmm! I'd be looking for a new wife if I spent that much on mine!

So is this up to date now or are you trickle feeding the process and it's now all finished? It reads like at least some of it was past tense.

Either way, awesome to see such an investment in a car, love it!

Haha lucky for me no mrs to worry about atm.

All the fabrication, engine and wiring has just been completed so just need do final assembly now run all the speed flow then look to start tuning it. Hopefully within the next 2 months look to have it up and running fingers crossed.

3rd owner very original except for the drivetrain a few datsun fans very disappointed by choice of engines haha

Factory Honda S2000 engine with oem ecu just a set of extractors and filter makes for 200rwhp. Not worrying about a intercooler we decided why not run air-conditioning for cruising in summer haha

Ecu to engine harness. 6 injectors, TPS, engine water temp and crank and cam sync sensor wiring can all be dressed on the engine before installation then connected via a 34pin bulk head connector on the firewall after engine installation. :cheers:

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
