yeh ive seen that done before... just dont know if i wanna go down that route... i might be able to modify the throttle body but thanks it might be the way i have to go... the coil packs are genuine Haltech coils, $60 from www.tweakit.com.au Jason

thanks mate, firstly i decided to run the external coils as my ecu that im running uses waste spark for my setup so the external coils are bit more reliable for that setup. wont really clutter the bay much, there is plenty of room and im gonna have a super clean engine bay in the way she is all wired and stuff so i think she will be sweet yeh i definately will be putting all the front covers over timing belt and ill be putting the center cover on too. its just sitting in there for bit of a mock up at this stage, i still gotta pull the engine out and make a sump, replace water pump, oil pump, tensioner, idler, cam gears, timing belt ect... thanks for the questions and feedback. Jason

thanks:) giving it a go! have seen others like recess silicon in there, like cut and shut but ill have to wait till i get some wheels back on so i can see how much clearance i have... ah ill come around it, just not sure which route ill take:) thanks Jason

hey guys, another small update... i have bolted the gearbox subframe up but it still needs modifying to attatch to the gearbox which i have planned out but ill have to wait till i get the plate back in between engine and gearbox so i can get the holes in the right place. planned out where im mounting my external coils, fuel pressure regulator, MAP sensor and couple other things:) took a couple of photos of the rest of my accelerator install and last of all showing you guys my lil drama with my throttle body:( not much room! woops lol but yeh gotta come up with a fix... probably going to have to chop the intake bit of the throttle body and kind of get it modified so that it comes off with bit of an angle to clear the wheel well

haha just realised this is a 3 month old thread but hey hope it helps:)

hey mate, i plan on running a 3" straight through turbo back exhaust on my 260 with rb25det that im building atm, so i dont wake my girlfriends parents wen i leave there house ill be running a Varex muffler which is the remote control muffler mentioned above, seem to work well... fully free flowing when open, when closed the exhaust gasses are diverted through the muffler something like three times then out to give her a nice quiet note:) around about $360 off ebay or i think about $399 RRP from the dealers Jason

nah man, the window kit comes with like a cover thing that kind of goes where the old winder went and plugs that hole kind of thing and it comes with switchs that u plug in basically so it works off a pair of switchs like a normal electric window setup would... i will be using toggle switches to keep it the same as the rest of the switches i will have in the car:) i highly highly doubt the clutch will be that cheap again... like i say, i see it up towards the 3000 mark now days... lol Jason

hey guys this is a 77 so prob why:) power window was awesomly easy! works very well and im very happy with it:) yer i found some pics on the net of others that had installed the central locking kits where i did thats why i put them there, worked well. no power steering or abs on this build... gotta go to the gym more before she hits the road:) thanx mate, that exedy was purchased for around 1900 out of japan before the economic crisis haha now they are about 2500-3000 landed:)

e] thanx guys! ive always liked the look of the car and its got family history so im happy i can do it up! its coming along pretty nice, seem to be making so pretty good progress

i do have to modify that gearbox cross memeber as its designed for an rb30 so ill get it in the car and go from there:)

Hey guys i got little bit more done yesterday, i also took a photo of some of the gear ill be running in the car:) what you see in the following photos is a modifed pedal box, steering colum bracket so that i could redrill for R33 S2 brake master and booster also my R33 Accelerator is in there, custom bracket welded to firewall for that one too, come up pretty nice hopefully length is good too for cable when i get to that:) there is one pic of my fuel cell mounting frame and some nice other parts from japan and america:)

cheers man, they work awesome! i picked them up off ebay, a seller in australia. Generally go for around $250 which i think is well worth it! cheers im currently uploading 30 new photos:) Jason

hey guys! got the central locking and power windows all mounted up in the doors today, come up pretty nice all works good, few pics attatched

sounds good, ill probably be keen for a set when the larger ones are made:)

thanx for all the replies guys nuclear_z - im running an australian built ecu, Adaptronic www.adaptronic.com.au great unit, lots of features should be fun to play with, yeh i had 315 at the rears of my silvia which was nice but could go a few more:) dont really wanna look at forged internals right now so ill be happy with 350 and some nice response! JP - ill take a photo of gearbox mount soon, i havnt actually mounted it up... that photo was engine resting in there only to check few fitments but im planning on getting gearbox in there with the engine soon:) it is a Castelmaine Rod Shop Gearbox mount. RBZ 260 - thanx mate, trying to make her perfect in my eyes:) sco_aus - ahh... yeh wage isnt great but i purchased my silvia with a 15000 loan and when i sold that i used the money to buy parts, not pay the loan off:P but yeh she has cost me around 28000 in parts so far haha hopefully by the time 35000 comes it will be a real nice car on the road not on my lifter

thanx guys, i will try my best to keep it up to date:) ummm holset compared to garret... well the particular model i have gone for is apparently between a gt2871 n a 3071 bush bearing compared to garrets ball bearing but ment to give better response due to a superior blade design or something like that this one is only oil cooled but shouldnt be an issue the physical size is larger than a garret can handle upwards of 35psi as they are designed generally for trucks should be nice to drive without to much lag, my goal is around 350hp at the wheels somewhere around 17psi thanx Jason

thanx for the replies guys, location updated! ummm its slightly off from the stock colour, my dad resprayed it for my grandad bout 5 years ago n it wasnt quite the same he wont be doing my new paint:) but yeh it is nice to have a hoist in my garage!
