Well overdue for an update!!!

firstly there has been a bit too much of this going on . . .



out this motor comes hopefully (fingers crossed) for the last time until it get a re-shell. Nice new button clutch. It consists of an evo 3 flywheel, supra clutch and evo 3 pressure plate. Also used some cut down 3SGTE ARP flywheel bolts.



gearbox got repaired but after further inspection the rear housing may be fooked, time will tell . . .



The car now sits on 4 yes thats right 4 wheels!



lil bit of positive camber going on, some camber plates will fix that.



front coilies and brake upgrade complete, there's also a BM44 (skyline) brake master installed



New TD05 20G turbo with 3" cover



and some nice new adjustable cam gears, i think the cam cover needs to be polished now, i dont think the red gets along with the blue



More to follow this weekend, hopefully it will be started up:D

For what it's worth, VR4 flywheel bolts are 22mm long.

woop woop, this thing is now getting spark but timing is waaay to advance to start it up, about 25 degree's to be exact. Anyone out there who knows what there doing with ecu's? who wants to come around and have a look? can pay in beer or $$$??? Also need to calibrate the water and air temp sensors

[mattrat]

have you put the crank sensor on properly or dont they pivot on the later evo engines?
also you did the timing belt correctly?

[Jonson]

Nah, not adjustable. completeley ECU controlled.

Top project i was considering pulling the motor out of my car and fitting it into a 1200 datto ute.... Inspirational thread

[J0RD0]

not a bad combo, correct me if im wrong but i think last years quickest street car at powercruise was a datto ute with a 4g63

[aussievr4]

Awesome car mate. Good luck with it all!

[J0RD0]

Sigh . . . . out it comes again



its going in the daily now (registered car). So everything's getting sandblasted/painted

[Dan /// Astron Boy]

Very nice!
Now keep it that clean!

[J0RD0]

Well it looks as if this car will not be hitting powercruise Too many little things to do, not enough time. + I still have to get a wheel alignment + tune and my rear casing still hasnt arrived yet. What sucks is I saw a few people heading out to willowbank thismorning, I just felt like giving them the finger, instead i just gave them a smile and a wave (thinking to myself . . . fuckin lucky organised pricks). I tried, soo fricken hard to make it but oh well, better luck next year.
