That's a good mate!

Definaly some one worth keeping on the Xmas card list!

so update for any one who cares or needs something to read while on the throne.

gearbox is in. Not happy with final resting place of drive shaft impregnation tho. Only about a inch, and I'm curious if the TD bell housing fits on a RB gearbox? Might fix my gear ratios?

drivers side engine mount isn't tall enough. Gearbox is flat, and pulling drivers side of motor off the mount by about 10-15mm going to need bigger mounts. (This will also fix next problem.)

sump. F*** A C***...... I can't read a ruler.sump hits the drivers side of steering rack. Bigger engine mount will fix this issue.

steering UJ at lower of steering Colom. Hits starter motor...... worry about that later just for a giggle.

wiring. There's stuff every we're lol. Not a single bad as building a new RB loom. But just a little.

pipes. The fella that did my braided power steering lines obviously didn't try to connect the hose for res to pump low pressure. The pipe is like 1/16th to small. And has no stretch. Yay.

clutch. I see a major issue here, when, and not if, I mean when this exceedy HD 4x4 clutch explodes. The engine cross member has to be unbolted and dropped 4-6" to allow the gearbox to come of force due to firewall distances. Not happy. But nothing I can do. 

Thats about it lol. I am getting closer to doing a little wright up on how to do this conversion lol. Not many photos from today, didn't want to feel lazy on my iPad all day.

so instead here is a few snaps of the parts truck getting removed from my property lol.

Haven't posted in a while. 

Just haven't had motivation to work on any of my cars for some reason.

nitrous looks like a no go sadly. Just can't seem to find a supplier of it down south in nz sadly. Was really looking forward to ruining it :(

Looking at either meth or LPG injection as a added boost now.

still waiting on the engineer to finish gate adaptors haha. 

I didget the R32 GTR nismo 3" exhaustin the other day. Just need to ship the car down to the workshop to get front half of exhaust done :)

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
