December 26, 201312 yr Author comment_674270 Wow. Been a while since I've been on here. Not much to update on apart from getting my Ps back in July, and just driving this around occasionally. I've bought and fitted a rebuilt and worked 5K Turbo (blueprinted, balanced, boost cam, custom draw-through turbo setup) and a 5-speed to go with it. I sold the Turbo kit purely because it was crap and I didn't need it. I then took the cylinder head off the 5K to remove the de-comp plate, got it re-surfaced, and crack and pressure tested, fitted a new head gasket, fitted a new VRS kit, and re-fitted my Holley 180 and Intake setup. Then upon fitting, I had my uncle come around and wire up the Electronic Ignition, and she fired first shot. I've also bought some roof racks for it, put them on for a while, then took 'em off, and now rolling on my R31s again, but with the dress rings Painted White. Cheers, Josh.

December 26, 201312 yr Author comment_674277 Well the turbo setup looked crap, and as I discovered by the young kid I sold it to, it was pretty well thrashed out. Plus, the 5K has enough balls as it currently is now. Thanks Stu. This whole project has been done by myself and my dad, and there really is nothing better than knowing where we are today, everything was done ourselves in mum's garage. Report
April 21, 201412 yr Author comment_681474 Not much to update on. Bought a Weber 32/36 for it, put a bed in the back of it, and put my Jellybeans back on. Report
September 12, 201412 yr comment_688233 Hey Josh. Love your build mate. I have been following this for years and actually met you at a servo car wash out Gisborne way when you were about to wash it. I didn't realise it was you until afterwards. Man, the engine noise on that thing is brutal! :) Report
