I supplied the cams and paid to transport the engine to and fro which wasn't much considering.

knore,

not that you are asking me but... When I had my motor built up it was sat on a pallet, strapped down and glad wrapped up.

Fork came along and dropped it on my trailer that had a nice thick rug on it so I was able to slide the pallet off.

Myself and my other half then slide the pallet off the trailer on to the ground using a few bits of wood.

Easy Peazy.

One of the SAU NSW club members helped me out with TNT to transport it.

Best to get your engine builder to book it on their account and then bill you, that way you get proper trade price.

I drove to an industrial area (not far for me) and looked around for a pallet of the right size (you want one about half or even less the normal size). It was easy, had plenty to choose from. Companies just stack them up near their rubbish bins.

I bought a twin pack of those snatch straps for about $10 and strapped the engine down tight.

Ok thanks, so you pulled engine out yourself, put it on a pallet, strapped it down and then got TNT to pick it up and deliver to proengines.

Then when it was done proengines got tnt to pick up and deliver back to you?

It is about my rebuild but it was also supposed to be a repository for NEO info which it has turned out to be.

Shonen - you're obsessed with highmount. I'm more likely to put nos on it than a highmount. That said, a 2835ProS would be nice but I can't afford anything atm.

I've already got the highflow so I'm sticking with that due to $$. I've got some cams going in though so that should make some difference.

I think the 4 doors have the viscous LSD and the 2 doors get the helical LSD which means I'll be up for a new diff at some stage.

I was pretty sure all the turbo (2dr and 4dr) have the helical diff and only the autos have the viscous LSD's? Does anyone know this for sure?

Pete,

* The internal diameter of the stock GTT guage holes is 60mm

* Defi BF guages (amber or white dial) are only available in 60mm

Therefore the Defi BF (60mm) gauges will fit fine as you can see from the pics, but the bezel will be mounted outside the hole.

This pic shows Defi black 60mm gauges (not BF) fitted.

Not enough gauges here.... :ninja:

JustinP; you want ideas on how to install a e-01 in the R34? We've done two now (one on my one and one for a customer) and we concluded that there is only one spot for it... and that's in front of the centre vents.

Custom bracket needed to be made...

Yep any ideas would be great :)

I was thinking of removing the ashtray, bolting in a bracket inside, and mounting it as low as possible there. I figure it will cover some of the double DIN stereo but don't mind. Think this would be possible? My gf said she would rather if I didn't cover the vents heheh

I don't actually have the E-01 yet so I haven't got a real idea on the size of unit yet, I guess I should check the specs on it.

Well the way I've done it is actually just using an upside down L bracket which "hooks" onto the air vents...

1) It's removable for security

2) It looks neat

3) You don't have to look all over the place whilst driving

4) The rather intrusive wiring can be run into the vents

5) Ventilation keeps the unit "cool"

6) Keeps double din area completely clear

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
