Still loads to do but that was one nights work.
Oh the turbo is a custom GT30/76r from Owen Developments and the gait is a TiAL 44mm jobbie.
So, where i left, got a box of goodies from goodridge and made up all the oil and water feed pipes, then slaped on some heat sheild.

This is where im at now and what iv been up to since xmas.
Iv also desided that as i cant afford a gear set for the rb box this year im going to make an increased capacity sump(an extra 2-3ltrs), add a thermostaticly controlled electric oil pump, an oil cooler and an oil filter, in the hope to reduce the chances of yet more box killage:wack:
Got some R32 GTR bits from Scotty at Skylinepart.com, cheers mate:thumbs:
If you are wondering why, its coz i snapped over 8 drive shafts in 09, im sick of changing the things. GTR is much stronger. Only worry il be blowing box's more again, lets hope the cooler will help that.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/139.jpg
Checked the out put spline diamiter to see if ill need a GTR or late s14a/s15 2way diff. Tis the right size:D
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/153.jpg
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/155.jpg
GTR's have a locking diff from the factory but still no good to me, its going up for sale and is a good upgrade over the vlsd and is streight swap on late s14a and s15.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/157.jpg
The input flange on the GTR diff is differant to sbody so that needs swapping out for an ABS Sbody flange. So that was taken off.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/158.jpg
So it now looks a bit like this V . Il be using every thing other than the GTR locking diff and input flange.
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/165.jpg
The right ratio too:D 4.11:1 for any body who cant be arsed to work it out. EDIT: Excuse the manky finger, i dropped a gearbox on it a few weeks ago!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/169.jpg
Some other parts iv been collecting over the months,
Thanks to EPRacing:notworthy
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/140.jpg
Slight change for 2010, yea its been done to death but not how this will look in the end;)
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/145.jpg
So i went up to EPracing today to see the legend that is Leon. We collected the last few bits to complete the "new look". And some other goodies. Just got to wait on the front bumpers to be air freighted!
I would list all the bits wer fitting but thatd give it all away!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/015-1.jpg
The GTR shafts arived, the size differance is funny! Note the inner CV joint, its HUGE!! I busted a few of the shats throgh the casting last year on s14 shafts, cant see that happening again with these!!

How the hell did u manage to pick the few pics out of them threads!!!
Threads on SXOC & DW really need to be seen, get the recent engine stuff up ;):)
Any way, its getting there, all be it slowely and the parts pile is growing and plans are changing.
I can no longer stretch to a two way diff so will be sticking with a good old welder in the GTR back end setup. And will now be running a forged 2ltr sr instead of the 2.2ltr as planned. Now plan to run a lower C/R, cam swing, port and flow and some cams to get the lag to a more usable level.
Parts list: Thank you Apex :notworthy, GarageD, EPracing, Rarerims, skylinepart.....
ARP main studs
ARP head studs
ACL race BE bearings
ACL race Main bearings
nissan oil pump rotors

Have most the parts now appart from a few on that list i.e rest of wheels, front bumper and cams are being air freighted.

The empty GTR casing
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/055-1.jpg
As im using the GTR cassing i got an s14 ABS diff input flange so the prop wont be too short!! I removed the ABS ring and dust cover from it so i can get a ring spanner on its easier.

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/059-2.jpg
Looks a bit odd but the diamiter of the shaft where the oil seal seals is the same, its just got no dust cover, but its not being built to do a 100k miles!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/061.jpg

While iv been building mine, Alan (Manfoot/gobshite) has been doing his along side me
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/048-4.jpg
Lift the heads on tomorow and fingers crossed in and running with in the next few days.
Yea i was a bit hmm about grinding the crank but its the 1st time and its to .25mm over size, i thoght best to have a fresh grind rather than search around for a good second hand crank.
Any way, i got the engine prety much finished today.
Its the 1st time ive used ARP head stud and nut kit, no one ever said you have to install the studs once the head is on the engine:wack: The head wont slide down the studs as it touchs the chain guide, so took them back out, dropped the head on then re-installed the studs. Feck me do you have to do them tight!!! 105ftlb!! Says do it in 3 stages, i done it in 8 to be sure.
20ftlb>20ftlb>40ftlb>40ftlb>70ftlb>70ftlb>105ftlb>105ftlb

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/007-8.jpg
A bit of copper grease on the studs makes life LOOOAAAADDSS more easy!! Youd think itd burn off but it dont, when it comes to taking it back off, even after a year or more they come off really easy.

awesome car, it just needs a driver now :D
super read lad.. even better pics;)
why have you a few different oil filters in the 1st of the last pics???
There is 4 oil filers the same, two z32 fuel filters and 2 s14 thermostats.
Me and a mate are building two identical engines, half the parts are for his.
One filter for the start up and 1st hours running on mineral oil then the other for the fully synthetic oil to be mapped and run in on, il use a 3rd befor the car is used. (one filter and fresh oil for start up,one filter and fresh oil for map and run in, one filter and fresh oil for 1st use):)

the oil return gets in the way of the tranny tunnel so a bit of choppy chopppy was needed, didnt have time to sort it yet but this well be getting coverd in a alloy plate and a big rubber grommet.

I agree 100% with ya............ But this car looked so much better with the 14a front on it........... It was savage looking car imo far better than it looks now..........!
Might look a complety different car when its stickered up.........
But you dead right in saying if your getting sponsered you'd do anything to your car...........
Id paint my car pink if falken told me i had to for them to sponser me..................!
I agree 100% with ya............ But this car looked so much better with the 14a front on it...........
Yes we agree on something hahah. i joke. no but it looked amazing with the 14a front. mean!

Ha ha! Well theres a first time for everything..........:p
Mean was not the word for this car it was pure evil looking....... The colour and the graphics were just mint............Everything went hand in hand with each other......... One of the nicest 14's out there by far........
But id sooner be burning up new fresh free rubber than worring about how my car looks...............

Ive not seen any "in competition" not same colour schemes etc anyway...:confused:
Car booked in for mapping, doing final checks on fresh engine build tonight, noticed a slight rattle, it turned out to be the waist gate!!!
The head has broken off of the valve!!! Looks like its due to the spring pushing un even pressure or being kinked, its basicly fubberd the hole lot!!!
But iv managed to bodge it with a bit of welding for tomorow, dont think il be getting my target figer of 500hp with it like this:cry: The valve no longer sits centre in the seat, i guess the valve stem is bent too. It seems to be sealing prety well thogh, it passed the "put your mouth on it and blow like a mo fo" test:wack:
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/012-9.jpg

Steve has supported me for the last two years, and i have no doubt in his mapping skills atall!! I sold a few plates to Greg and we done a few deals, got chatting etc, also Greg helped me spec the cams to the engine and has a very good understanding of setting it all up mechanicly, i.e dialing in the cams with a DTI.
getting better and better lad..
i like the wishbones....:D:D:D

Excellent build from start way back until now. Congrats on the Falken sponsorship too, well deserved from what I've seen and heard ;)

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/190520101904.jpg

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/220520101927.jpg

On the wiring side, im going to be getting rid of the earth controll crap they come with as stock, run two new big earths(one to each pump). For the live, il be fitting twin relays on the dash with direct feed fromt he battery.
This is for the two earths, il be running the two lives throgh the original two pin plug..

Then i can simply use a nut and p clip to connect the earths
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g158/P0l0200sxy/100620101977.jpg
Also, iv been making a new hand brake as the old one is starting to let me down more and more, the stadard type hydo does not offer the right feel for me, so im making one with more leverage............
still maintaining the stock lever for quick little adjustments mid drift.....
the idea is to make it as solid and precise as poss with no play side to side, or any chances of it ripping out the floor with the extra leverage, hence the beefyness of it.....

Red on the graphs is from yesterday with vvt working and at 1.7bar boost.
Green is from end of march when we 1st set the engine up and at 1.9bar.
So now its making about 80ftlb more torque at 4500rpm than befer with less boost:) And almost 25-50ftlb every where befor boost. Also note that it comes on boost 300ish rpm sooner. Yea its less power but i know which im going to prefer;)
