Top stuff mate, the car looks excellent! With the turbo conversion, go for option two!

^See sweeny, im not the only one who thinks this is a good idea

Nah hi flow T3 brooo. Its all the clutch will take. Once i get bored of that ill forge it with a hi mount 35/40 and a jimmy b clutch yeeeeeaaa. Got my R33 box in. Its about 10 sexies shifts so nice just running the clutch in now. Big shout out goes to dimi and rowan who sorted me out with getting the box in! Had some minor issues with the speedo drive but sorted it out. R33 vs. MF5 Had to push the car into the shed cause of the rain (not fun) Didnt bend the gear shifter, sits just a few mm of the h/brake in second but the gear boot doesnt fit over the shifter. Going to chop & fabricate it so its fits inside the gearboot and sits perfectly upright in neutral (stock look) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

To be honest, I couldn't be happier with my t3 high flow at the moment. I'm making good power with mine at 14psi and I could probably push it to 20 yet! I just want to do a cam upgrade first Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

The fun begnins Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Okay so whats new... Fixed my rear headrests so theyre rigid now... looks a bit dodgey, cause it is! zip ties and tie wire They honestly sit perfect now though, positioning and all. Sanded back and painted my drop tank. Havnt done the straps yet.. will tomorrow Some colour 3" dump back exhaust i picked up.. hanging from the roof of the shed for the next 6 months Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Awesome little updates just make your car even better, good work, i would just go the lot 300kw+ like the fresh start on the rb30......one day i will do so myself. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Haha thanks mate ! Itll have 300kw plus the rest one day... I forgot to mention i confirmed to buy a turbo conversion kit. T3 highflow with a rebuild recite plus brown tops, ecu etc etc. The guy is off this forum, bought a few parts including the exhaust of him. He's going to hold onto it for me for a few months until im ready to buy it, top bloke! On ya Nukz. With my motor, itll get a freshen up. New rings, pistons, honed bores, machine the head + ARP studs, nissan head gasket and a TX1 cam. Good compression and a fresh motor... The reason i bother to do this, one day ill pick up a n.a S2 calais to dump the above motor into and build a motor for the while car with a 35/40 and forged window winders and **** ---------- Post added 13-04-12 at 20:33 ---------- Picked up my intercooler and piping off my good mate jeremy from brightline fabrications tonight.. top bloke. Came off a car he bought for parts, and he polished it up for me, like a mirror. Also notice the dose pipe in the picture.... hectic! haha He also made this piece for me Cuts into the radiator hose and the auto meter water temp sensor screws into that for a 100% reading, and this way the factory gauge will still work. The factory ones even snap off and all things bad when you try to take them out... If anyone wants one of these let me know, easily organised. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

good option mate. well i brought my self a na s2 calais, bolted up the stock turbo setup, done box, diff, brakes , suspension. and a few others soon ill by another rb30 get everything done to it. just drop it in and sell the stock setup. before i use to think yeh calais is better than all, now i respect any neat looking vl . you might get it one day, but your car is clean and looks tuff Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Attempted to put drop tank in today. Everything was going swimmingly until it came to put the new breather hoses one. On one end the fitting was 10mm and i bought appropriately sized hose. When i came to put it on the other end, i realised it was a 15mm fitting. I tried everything to get it on.. heating it up, wd40, flaring the hose.... (by this time the shop was closed of course and it was getting dark). It would not go on, i was fighting it for ages and i had the the ****s major kicking **** over!!!!!! More hose monday and it should pop right on it Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Drop tank status: IN Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
