hows the bottom end going making any noises done a compression test?

still doesn't make any noise. Don't know how it hasn't i have spun the power steering bet up side down twice when i have missed gears, hard revs. Haven't done a comp test yet. would be lucky to get 100ml of oil in catch can after two full nights of thrashing. Got full ported head ready to go on in a few weeks

Getting Spool rods and cp pistons and putting the ported head on+ power ported inlet runners and turbo comp cover

woopsy this is what a major lean out looks like. i.e no surge tank engine bay is completly stripped out getting all lumps and holes sorted out and another new spray.

Those photos suck! lol. Is that No.6 piston?

yeah sure is. no.6 runs a lot hotter as the coolant gallery is the smallest. all good soon tho

few more things to put on oh yeah cp forgies Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

update. found that the little dodgy fuel filter i was using had blocked and fuel flow was dropping at boost levels over 15psi. engine dyno showed us this. it was dicarded and another high flow unit fitted. thats what caused meltage. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that little dodgey fuel filter... lol, i remember that. that little thin red thing that was heaps expensive. this car has come along way corran. engine bay looks magic. smoothened, no wiring, no fuse box, no battery, no "nuthin that makes the bay look sh1t", magic! thanks to you and chad, would have to be the most detailed vl in SA now, and would go close in the whole of Australia too i reckon. btw, wish chad goodluck on his wedding day for me. cant believe its finally gonna happen, he put it back so many times lol. and i hope ur buying him a good wedding present mate.

Looking awesome Coran, after hearing what has been done to it that night complete amazed Looks incredible man. Congrats Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Corran, youre taller than I remember? Lot of effort gone into that bay man...I spent ages on mine to get it where it is and yours literally sh1ts on it. Forgies, Rods, Autronic, Wheels.....Youre bank must love you...Lol. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

those wheels are the best too, i never thought anyone would end up putting them on a vl!

awesome stuff, good updates

great shots looking forward to seeing it run at the track

what sort of wheels are they? car looks awesome

yeah was the bloody filter. but dodgy country dirt mixed petrol doesn't help either. didn't know how the wheels would make the car look, but am very happy with them. sort of makes the car low key, hopefully unnoticable to the fuzz. have spent alot more than i budgeted for. had everything go wrong on the dyno. problems 1. Used a aca cas with the autronic chopper wheel, wouldn't work, got a brand aca sensor still wouldn't work. soon found out that they are real sensative and only like genuine cas which are $400. ended up making a custom cas, on the end of the crank and in the dizzy. 2. msd kept going crazy, ended up throwing it and buying an m&w 3.Autronic fuel pump driver in computer didn't work. 4 fuel filter ended up being blocked fuel flow was dropping off at 15psi. 5.tacho output in ecu doesnt work. 6. alternator doesn't work after i had it pulled apart, painted, put on. 7.master cylinder seals went when bleeding brakes. other than that seems to be going well. rims are vz clubsport R8 19's Will have to catch up for a cruise next saturday night? thanks for the appreciation guys

Sounds good for a cruise Coran Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Coran, i coulda got you a genuine CAS cheaper than that. Or you could've changed to a skyline dizzy. and then the genuine CAS is even cheaper! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

how many dollars? was a bit of a pain at the time as i needed it that day as the engine dyno bloke was going away in a day for a week. couldn't get one quick. so just had to go with the custom which he promises will neva fk up. thanks for the offer but. will keep in mind Matty will do. i'll send you them details you asked for a the start of the week
