Yeah it’s the gktech one, the sleeves fit really well and fits onto the rack well. Haven’t put the suspension in yet 

awesome I tracked it at one point and it hadn’t moved and was going to head down and start asking what the hell

Hydroblasting is amazing!  I highly rate its results.  Makes stuff look new again.  Apart from my engine mounts I've never ended up using anything I had blasted but hey, it looks good in a box somewhere!

I can't remember who did it.  It was a few years ago now.  The guy was located in the inner Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne but he would travel around and pickup the parts.  

I was tempted to clear coat the stuff I had done to try and keep it looking that good for longer.

I used hi octane coatings and then they were coated using clear ceramic coating to stop them from looking shit again 

Ok, do they do Hydro blasting as well? 
clear ceramic coating would be nice and should last

Custom pistons have been ordered and should be 6-8 weeks away, hopefully have an engine before Xmas 

8 weeks puts us at December 18, sure you going to get a motor together by Christmas.

Shit I didn’t realize we were that close to Christmas!! ok maybe by February. I have a goal of when i would like it to be running by, I just have to wait and see if I can actually make it happen 

Pulled the rear housing off the turbo because I swapped it with a mate who’s putting a 6466 into his gtr

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
