At the end of day 4 here is where we stand:

I have baught the clutch and a new clutch line today (pics to follow) and while I was tearing around spending money nate got the engine from the front cut mostly ready to be pulled out, and its now being supported by little more then the crane. The clutch mob charged me 30 bucks to machine the flywheel, I had hoped a machining would come with the clutch. Also, some widgidy thingi in the middle of the flywheel was stuffed so I needed a new one. (5 bucks)

Pictures!!!


The Main Event. (The turbocharger)

The engine bay as it stands right now

Various bits and pieces

More various bits and pieces, inc. new clutch

Closeup of new clutch.

Not sure.

As you can see, the new clutch is a beefcake. It can take up to 200kw ATW apparently, and since im not gona do anywhere near that (say 110-120 atw for me?) it should last a good long while.


Humm AFM from the NA DOHC im holding onto as a spare... I might sell it. It may however not be compatible with a SOHC engine so id check that.


//edit
dear jeasus mad mat your sig is huge!

they stole my steering wheel!

There was a nice steering wheel on the cut when I inspected it and its not their anymore, when queried about it they "broke it" so they took it off and threw it out.

Would a yard bother taking something broken off the cut?

Other then that, they were generally a bit dodgy. I asked them on the phone to do a compression test infront of me but then I had to take their word on it. At one stage duiring the initial enquiries he tried to put the price up and I told him i was gona walk away if he did.

However they were the only one with cuts, so it was with them I went.

//edit I saw a GTR familiar on the way home, BASTARD! I was gona get out and steal his engine but I thought better of it.

Check the front lights on your half cut, if they are glass they are worth alot more than the plastic ones, quite rare. mine came with plastic! DOH!

Ben

P.S good luck with the conversion

The slippery golden type! Who gives a fark? Get a (semi) synthetic since the engine is no doubt well and truely run in. Caltex and Fuchs are ok, it's not gonna hurt the engine if you don't get the absolute best oil...

Penrite HPR 15 Semi syth is what I run in my Gf's GTX motor and in my GTR motor.


That motor looks in awesome condition too. They definately gave it a great clean which is always a bonus.

Well at the end of day 8 (I think? not inc. xmas) We got the engine in and some stuff hooked up, mainly the ECU and some of the minor hoses.

We still gota get the VC joints on, the breaks and clutch bled, the intake system on and other little bits and pieces.
