you hav an awesoming talent, and I'm very jealous

:P I think its midly insane in the first pic you can see how much lower my crossmember is to allow the motor it sit nice and low in the engine bay

Yep! my speedflow bill has just tipped over 5g, gets expensive when i keep changing it in the attempt to make it just that little bit neater

SWEET! if you have any questioned regarding the conversion feel free to PM me

truly amazing condition both cars are in, these will be worth small fortunates one day

Ive only ever used speedflow, man was that an expensive decision

WOW! you sure do know how to build a "different" monster cut out the whole floor plan and started again to make it RWD, 9r did you just cut the middle section out. What diff do you use? BTW i love it even though i HATE excel with a passion

Love the mindset if it being a street car! LOVE THE CAR, as ive said before your previous rotary set-up was my inspiration to build my car. Thank you!

Its all these little things that take alot of time and money to do that contributes to a VERY clean looking engine bay Great work!

I'm working till 830ish then ill be across the road at the D n D getting smashed, might drop in if i remember haha

sounds like you've transformed the car into much better all round combo, keen to see pics of how the car is now

Got the car back into a driveable state today, been sitting for a few months but started up first go. Idling for about 30 secs and sounded like it had a stickie seal then died and couldnt get it restarted.......... Fouled the brand new plugs, so cleaned then and started it again. Still didnt sound to flash but took it for a quick spin and once warm and given some decent revs if cleaned out and ran heaps better. Really needs a good freeway run to clean it out properly so ill probably grab the trade plate from dads work and do that sometime this week. New suspensions is nice and stiff, can't wait to take it through the hills and really test it out. Went to tackle the wiring as well, starting with the fuel sender but forgot the car has a full tank of fuel so couldnt do that lol Ill do the wiring all in one hit, got thurs off work so probably do it then. Still have to buy a headunit between now and then so i can wire/mount the stereo in. Was great to finally drive the car again be it only for 5mins and its given me the motivation to get it done asap

made some progress on the car today before work, start late on mondays. Front struts are back together with the 6kg springs and K-Mac Adjustable strut tops and are in the car. Brakes have been bleed and its really to put the wheels on and drop it back on it wheels, which ill do tomorow. Havent had a chance to finish the wiring, hopefully tackle most of it tomorow.

I'm curious to know what getting this kind of set-up done costs? if you don't mind me asking, roughly is fine

thats because you need to trim 5mm off the spline end of the axle for them to fit the ke20 diff

looks like they had fun filming it Wouldnt like to be the next owner of that suby, thats if it survived much longer

stopped for a quick chat to him one day when he parked around the corner from my house. Think he was pretty impressed with my departure haha

Ill be hitting you up for that speco one soon FRONT SPRINGS ARE READY :dance: :yes: :y:

cheers, best of both worlds: nice daily to cruise around in 90% of the time and a weapon to drive on weekends Cheers ben, I'm very happy driving it on a daily basis Definitely do set it off well, the taillights are slightly tinted to which makes then match in well with the tinted windows and black bumpers (which are now definitely staying). Ill try get some better shots of the whole car, better yet would you be will to take some pics for me sometime???

before and after of the tail lights front indicators excuse the crappy phone pics

No more orange indicators :dance:

Probably are, but there so narrow it doesnt matter. Id run widened ones if i were to use them

apart from the horrible wheels i like it

Hmm, well ill see how i go with the enlarged stock wastegate. Hopefully it will control the boost ok, if not ill upgrade to external one. Mounted my fuel gauge. Boost gauge will be changed to a black face one shortly becuase its the only one which doesnt match :wink:
