oh what a nissan feeling! Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) bit late reply, but man that sucks, what happened? failed to clean out chassis numbers, and body numbers before i painted, so had to re-do it. shifter port matching to gtir quads new alloy kick plates, plastic sucks. Welded up filler for drop tank c4 adaptor swaybar fitted, larger ke55 one new egay swaybar links all painted, mine snapped the bolts a bit rusty Rechromed rear bar ready to go, 2 pack mounts ect. Paint stripped my two front bars, one will serve as a in between bar while i fix up the other. re-routing factory wiring, will be hidden so positions change, and not needed plugs deleted. Dash loom. dash painted, need trans temp and oil temp gauge to fill 2 more holes. Made a new gate for the house, turned out good. Also bringing the ke25 over soon, will probably chuck spare sr20 in it, already shortened r31 diff for it really wanted 3s beams power, but the sr20 is free, beams is 3 grand..

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted January 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Cars coming together really good Matt, must be getting close to dropping the motor back in? Have you got much left to assembling it? Thanks mate. I still need to order my stall converter for the auto, plus the engine is pulled down again because it has sat for a year or so now. not much to put it together though, just need to finish port matching the head, i only do an hour at a time, my poor compressor doesnt have a real big tank, so it doesnt get much rest time. Love the bog dust absolutely everywhere in the garage! Done some work on the old girl.....shaving the rear vents....hmmmm Howd you clean out the numbers? Metal pick? Yeh, lots of bog dust and overspray , I always say i will hose the shed out once i finish painting, it seems that day will never come. don't shave your rear vents, it really is a prick of a job, so much time in those rear panels getting them to flow like they should, in hindsight not really worth it. same with the engine bay smoothness, but gotta try everything once i guess... Yeh just used a pick to clean the numbers out, i have been caught out before while trying to get a car regoed. I had a few chips up there too, so not a complete waste of time. :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUZ440 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Yay progress, wouldnt mind borrowing that hand controller also, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 So the bottom end is now together, but thats about where it stopped for now. It turns out the oil pump I had I'm not real happy with, its not too bad but not good enough I have decided, so a new oone is on its way from seppoville. I also made my valves spring compressor suitable for the twin cam heads, a bit of a cut and shut..... But then realised I have no valve stem seals here, so i went down to the local bursons, $130 trade price. yikes!! So once again ebay and seppoland and some supertech ones are on their way for $65 delivered. All ready to go... and waiting.... Stall converter is on its way now, took all the measurements and ordered. slingshot brand, I was prepared for big $$$ but definatelty punished the wallet even more than I expected! Remaining corolla budget $000.10 .....It should be here in a week. Turbo lines, straight from china. Pretty damn good imo. Also bought some rear quarter rubbers for the ke25 off phils rotary, The only ones i didnt replace as I didnt know they were available when i painted it. They look good, but time will tell how they go with sun and all that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Engines looking good. Slam it together yourself? Good idea on a new oil pump, it's what will keep it alive. This is going to be crazy with the C4!! Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted February 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yep I'm putting it together, this will be the fifth sr20 I've built so I should get it right, I hope! :hmm: Stall converter arrived within 2 weeks as promised, looks the goods and fits good, will see how it works before i put the excessively large 'slingshot' sticker on my toolbox. Got a new front case / oil pump, Have now fitted that, sump, pan, pickup, well all the bottom bits. Assembled valves into head, newly cut and shut valve spring compressor works a treat. head consists of: Tomie 272 + 12.5 solid camshafts Narprec valve springs Brian Crower cro-moly retainers 1mm oversized valves in + ex Supertech stem seals Tomie solid lifters Bullet cnc race ports Adjustable cam gears New nissan rocker arms GKtech rocker stoppers ACL mls head gasket.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Had the day off today, got a few small things sorted. Head is now on the engine and torqued down. Drilled and tapped Wolf and Speco water senders into the factory positions, also tapped an extra position for the factory dash temp, might find a sender if i can be bothered, got the water around the engine sorted, heater will now be courtesy of 2x 12v hair dryers so minimalised the pipework. Turbo feed fitting. Heater pipes now looped. Have to sort out the vacuum tank for the quads, I have the factory one, not sure if I trust them pipes with 25psi. Also sorting out the throttle cable as the quads are from a fwd, looks like i will make it pull from underneath the quads, should be neater too. Painting engine tomorrow pending less rain.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Todays effort... engine painted, didnt do the rocker cover yet as it requires extra love. Also painted the gearbox, a bit of a half effort though as it will be surrounded by tunnel soon enough. Also decided to use the factory vacuum tank for the quads, moved some pipes around on it with the welder, and also changed the mounting bracket as my new plenum has had all the factory mounting points removed.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Off the engine stand bolted auto up Stall converter bolted up in the little hole underneath engine in: Dummied up some accessories. The plenum doesnt slide in between the master cylinder like it used to because i have put studs in everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
