Turned the engine over, to have a bit of a look

as You can see the oil squirters go back in with the billet block

then I threw the sump on with a brand new set of bolts,

 

something I have noticed is if you use a billet block, you need to invest in some bottoming taps as the blind threads have not been cut deep enough

fitted the ac compressor and shifted it forward onto where the power steering belt used to run

fitted the new passenger side mount, hopefully I won’t be breaking this one in a hurry

fitted a nismo mount on the drivers side, I know they’re probably just stock ones but I had it so I fitted it

From my personal experience, the Nismo engine and box mounts are definitely stiffer, not ridiculous but noticeable none the less.

The box mount improved shifter feel in the 34 to me, I guess by taking some vibrations out.

Nice mate, she's looking good!!!!

I just bought one of the PRP a/c compressor relocation kits too.  Sorry I should read back and/or remember but are running electric p/s now?

Yes, I fitted an astra power steering pump in the boot when I put the single turbo on, I looked at a few options of using the original but wasn’t happy with any of it and just chose to get rid of it

I guess the verdict is still out, it could have just felt stiffer because they were new but then again they could actually be different

Spose it’s a bit like changing 25 year old suspension bushes that are cracked and flogged.l with factory ones. All of a sudden it feels like a new car.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • 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
