I am starting this post as we are looking to get this done in the next 4-5 weeks so here is the list of things to be done in that time :wack:

rebuild the engine we have ( bought it and recieved it in bits) :wack:
take out the auto box and convert to man ( have all the bits for this now as we went and picked up the conversion bits on sunday)
make sure that all is running nicely and sort out any teething problems we may have along the way :thumbs:

we may even be doing an s14 front calliper conversion at the same time also :wack:

Pics will follow :thumbs:

Sorry Si, don't understand your discription above. What are you doing? I'm:confused: now

10-08-2007, 09:06
ok sorry jase and for anyone else that I have confused there are 2 different types of oil filter housing one with and one without an oil cooler the one with is pictured below

http://sxoc.com/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=48111&stc=1&d=1186736577

now the 2 bits I have circled are different on the jap spec engine we have 1st the pipe that is attached to the block on the jap spec does not have the secondary (smaller pipe) coming from the main water feed and does not have somewhere for the water return to pipe back into the system.

I have had to figure a way of piping these in and make it work.

I hope that this cleares that one up for anyone that I confused :thumbs:

well all being well if you need a bonnet seeing as mines the same colour as your car then when i get the new one theres one here and a good one to save on spraying costs that is unless your having the whole car done lol

dont ask when tho but wont be long put it that way lol

well I didnt get much done on the weekend mainly just wireing to the lights in the mirrors and fitting the head unit I did however make a gauge pod built into the dash for tracey and that took a fair bit of the time on the weekend :wack: however I think it will look good once finished :thumbs: no pics to upload just yet as traceys laptop has gone belly up and needs a new hdd :( but as soon as we can sort them out we will.
