Nah I won't be sticking with standard cams. Either gunna put in tomei ones or thinking about sending my head off to Lewis engines and getting the ultimate race head package.

Yeh I'm still undecided on what I'm gunna do yet so just got it installed anyways. The engine won't be getting installed for awhile. Still have to buy asr race sump, nitto oil pump, Ross balancer, 6boost highmount manifold, plazmaman plenum before I install it.

f**k looks like plans have changed again. Got f**ked over with the bloke building my engine so gunna start buying parts for a RB26/30. Will be buying a new rb26 head off justjap and nitto Pistons and rods this weekend. Just have to find a decent RB30 series 2 block.

Basically the engine I was buying/getting built the bloke talked abit if shit about some of the details on the internals nd I clicked on nd seen some evidence of scratches/marks on the Pistons but thought it was just the camera angle nd light but turns out they came from a engine that lost oil nd seized up bad so that explains the marks. Plus seen a ad on eBay from him with for a damaged rb25/30 so that tipped me over the edge to what he was doing. Trying to make his money back he lost on the original engine. No big loss only lost my deposit.

Gunna buy the rips complete rb30 forged bottom end now nd then get a rb26 head built by Lewis engines.

Just purchased a turbo from Hypergear there new ATR45 sat external gate. Have to send of my manifold to havoc fabrications to get modified for the external gate and screamer. I've decided to get this thing ready and on the track asap then I will concentrate on the 26/30 build. Sending the car off this week to get the sunroof hole fixed then will be sent of to get all the parts installed and tuned by Trent and chequered tuning.

Just picked up my new Hypergear turbo ss2 external gate with v band. Next step I will be sending this off this week along with stock manifold to havoc fabrications to get modified to run external gate and also get a screamer pipe, dump pipe and decat made up as well.

Dropped the car off at havoc fabrications tonight. Can't wait to pick it up once it's all done. Might be getting some extra work done while it's there. Door cards and maybe even getting a front splitter made up as well.

Yeh abe done so work on my daily and I was very pleased with his work quality. Stoked I've finally got someone to help me finish off the car to how I want it. I'm also keen to see what power it all make as well. Hopefully I can get close to the 350rwkw mark on e85. I'm ditching the power fc and upgrading to the Haltech platinum pro and getting Trent from chequered tuning to tune it.

    • Hi all,   anyone know where I can pick one of these up for a reasonable price? I just resprayed my rear trunk due to fuel stain and my new muse spat install.    added a photo for some content 🤣👍   thanks 
    • Consider a 35 too...
    • He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃
    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
