very nasty motor that motor revs super quick.

Gleeso

Cheers dude! Always planned on making this car a quality piece of machine, but after the buying the motor, I can't stop seeing the bigger picture in my head, and how fucken fun it's going to be.

Gleeso

You're damn right it does. With all the upgrades my shell has over the engines previous shell, it's going to be a hell of a lot better!

PG BOOSTED

how much is your payment plan?

Gleeso

A lot cheaper than anyone else could get, to put it simply.

jdm2191

Anxious to see this car put together!

very cool build. Subscribed

Just purchased this Cusco 223 910 A Engine Motor Mounts Kit S13. Was going to wait to buy other stuff with the order, but FRSport's having some New Years specials and I couldn't wait. Car parts>Alcoholic beverages.

Figured I may as well have the engine sitting on some quality.

Gleeso

Also, turbo choice has been made. I've been advised from a more experienced friend, than the last and I'll be going with a 3076r with a 0.82 twinscroll housing from ATP.

Nagged my mate today to do some tub stuff. Pretty much what has been done so far is chop out the wheel arch some more, and get the drivers side to the point where the next step will be tacking the tub on.

This is how it looked once the rest of the crap was cut out. The decision was made to leave some metal on there and make some supports out of them. It's just going to make it easier to fit it all up, was definitely a good decision.













The strip of metal under the guard, which generally eats tyres from the car being quite low, was trimmed at points for the tubs, and the rest was bashed upwards. Now, if the tyre were to hit up undertheguard, it'll be a little nicer on the tyre.



The rest of the aftermath.



Had no intention of doing any work on the car today, not that I really did, but pretty happy with the outcome.

My mate will have a go at sorting out the passenger side later this week.

Gleeso

Had some spare time today, so figured I'd get started on the passenger side and save my mate some work.

Firstly, I had to attempt to panel beat the rad support section where the previous owner fucked it. Don't have any before pics from today, but there's enough that have been taken that show the damage. Quite happy with my attempts.







My poor attempts at getting the tub to sit in nicely, although I didn't get it to the point that my mate did yesterday, a fair effort was still made.

Darren

Looking good!

Glad to see the tubs are finally going in permanently. Love the tabs, nice idea.

RARE-SNARE

Awesome build. In for completion!

Gleeso

Tell me about it! I was sick and tired of seeing them just sitting there loosely. They were pretty much holding me up from being able to spray the bay and get the car back on the ground. The tabs were my mates idea, definitely a goodun'!

Gleeso

So, this is all happening...

Gleeso

The drivers side tub was welded in last week, I was just kind of lazy getting some pics up. Obviously needs some bog, and a few little bits touched up, but other than that, it's all good!







Decided to hack at the passeneger side some more, which has been such a *rabbit* compared to the drivers side. The fitment was getting close, but not close enough, until I remembered the extrusion on the passenger wheel arch, where the P/S resevoir is usually mounted, was one of the many things I had to grind.



With that sorted, I could look at what else was stopping it from sitting naturally in place. I ended up having to grind the corners of the tub where it sits near the rad support. I also had to grind the tub where it meets the wheel arch a little more, it now sits happily.

Prepped for welding.



How it sits with just my hand holding it a little.



Will hopefully have the passeneger side welded in on Friday.

Gleeso

Finally recieved my Cusco Engine Mounts today. I must say, they're a hell-of-a-lot more heavier than I expected. Extremely glad I went with a known brand.

Shit pictures, but you get the idea.

Gleeso

My mate came around and sorted out the other tub. Still needs bog and a few other touch ups, but other than that, everything is progressing nicely.





Got this sorted as well. The weld was snapped/broken when the retard crashed it before my ownership. Has improved the rigidity immensely.

Man, this Sil80 is getting good!!

This build is so vicious! Keep it up and I have subscribed.

Thanks mate, it's really starting to get me excited now!

Gleeso

Cheers dude.

So, I've purchased some more goods, with a hint of Tomei of course.

What is it..



A fucking masterpiece of a sump, that's what.





It'll be replacing this on the SR22. Not really a fan of cast sumps, so if anyone is keen, throw me an offer.





Bought back my old lights as my other ones with the good brackets have some crazy ass spaghetti wiring on them, so I'm going to mix and match to get a nice set.



Also, turns out I already have an S15 7-layer exhaust gasket, sweet!

quality comes to mind but does not do this build justice

Gleeso

I appreciate the kind words.

Gleeso

Had to take the GReddy sump off today because I sold it to a mate, took it as a good excuse to bolt up the Tomei sump as I didn't really want to leave the engine opened up for long.

With the GReddy sump ripped off, figured I should take the chance and show a size comparison between the GReddy and the Tomei sumps, pretty noticeable. Although, the GReddy is bigger, I chose the Tomei because it's not cast and won't crack when it cops a whack when out on the track.





Found some discerning bits of metal in the sump. I'm thinking the bits would be from the main bearings wearing in. Would this be correct?





After having the sump off, and sitting on my arse for a good while scraping off the remains of the old sealant, I remembered I had a Type X Oil Pick-up, that I had purchased from a mate at least 2 years ago, an figured now's a better time then ever to install it.



Old one (obviously) on the left. Pretty noticeable opening size difference.



Type X Oil Pick-up installed.



The bracketing on the new oil pick-up was a little different to the old one. The old one mounts adjacent to the pick-up, and the new one has it mount opposite to the pick-up, further along the crankshaft. I was a little confused, but Nissan had it sorted and had a mounting point already there ready to go.

Was a little cunt to get to, although, I was successful.



The biggest difference in regards to mounting up the GReddy and Tomei sumps would be the 4 centre-ish bolts. The GReddy sump has provisions to bolt it up from directly underneath, whereas the Tomei sump has to have studs put into the engine blocks threads.



Tomei sump installed. The sealant is still curing, so I'll tighten the bolts up more in the morning.



Such a nice piece of kit, worth every penny.

jdm2191

Tomei FTW!!
