Ok, knew I had metal throttle body gaskets somewhere. They reared their head on my toolbox at work today. Glad I hadn't put the motor in, or I wouldn't bother, as it's a PITA.

So, removed plenum, throttle bodies and IAC assembly.
Installed metal gaskets(with a hylomar coating) and reassembled.

Will be a good addition if I ever swap to e85 and start trying more boost.

Washed to carbon bonnet that has been sitting in the garage for about a year.20181012_145844.jpg20181012_155413.jpg20181012_155415.jpg20181012_155708.jpg20181012_160748.jpg20181012_150355.jpg

If it were my build and I had the parts you do. I'd get it running and doing laps on the 7s then you can dial the suspension tuning in and work down your times. If it's not enough power after the car

Looking good mate good progress 
Keep the pics coming 
 
Cheers mate.
Honestly surprised no one has bagged out the stock air box.
I was curious to see if it would work with the 30 bottom end. Was a little tight, but got there.

Read on to find out....

Purchased some oils and drive belts(also purchased drive belts for the white one while I was there)
Installed said belt(power steer)
Installed radiator
Installed shifter assembly
Installed strut brace cross bar
Installed centre muffler section of exhaust

Finished filling with run in oil(I was 2l short from my last lot)
Filled with coolant

Was going to fill transfer and diff, but couldnt crack the transfer fill plug.
Checked and confirmed i also need gearbox oil(dont know why I drained it)

Painted the exhaust tip black again, as the paint had perished.

Any other questions?

Depends on blue slip inspection.
Need to find someone a little lenient.

There is a guy that posts on the facebook pages peter gtr or something like that, says he will do blues.

Transfer oil in
Lower bell housing bolts in
Connected fan wiring

Still have to connect the starter wiring, fit clutch slave, fill front diff and gearbox.
Then, should be good to go.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
