MARK - I have printed out all the times from posts here and there for wakefield so I know what to shoot for pity I didnt bother timing any laps last track day, so fingers crossed we should have some neck and neck fun ! any chance of a rematch of the drag we had in canberra ?

DARNOLDRS - I have seen your beast and its worth the wait !!! let me know when you want to swap :) Plus your making awesome progress it seems like every couple of days you have completed some other engineering miracle that makes me (and probably others feel REALLY LAZY) like your guard mods, stroke of genius !

MAXRS - Should have all the rest of the stuff braided lines,missing clip off caliper, long pads (apperantly they go right to the edge? rather than being tapered like the current ones)to complete the brake conversion tomorrow so will put some pics up then, looks amazing though std brakes look like a joke (seriously) once you have these 300mm bad boys on the front.

NISMOCARPI - Have seen your posts before, would have loved to go straight to efi, had the hardware (complete sierra efi setup) at the time but not the cash plus was a bit scared honestly, so sold the efi and did the supercharger for the same money, had lots of fun and broke some boxes and a diff and now have the cash to do it properly with Sierra EFI Manifold, Bigger Injectors, Wolf 3D Computer, Forged/Billet Bottom End, Eaton M90 Supercharger.

Have put a pic of the car on the trailer, a familiar site unfortunately. Will have more interesting pics tomorrow. Check out the racer project i just picked up though, just made a new thread in projects.

Well there hasn't been a update on the pics as we have run into a few snags;

1.) Supra Conversion !!!!
a.) Dellow Bellhousing was tapped with the wrong thread for the bolts in the car, my mate who has been helping me tells me that only very early mk1's used the thread that we found in the bell housing, retapped the holes and problem solved.
b.) Auto Tunnel and Supra box fit fine once you take off the kick down cable mount:)
c.) Supra Box is F#C*ED it seems that the box is stuck in reverse, the clutch goes in and out but no gears can be selected... took the box to a manual transmission specialist and the verdict is get another box so its back to the wreckers for an exchange.
d.) Tailshaft is 3/4" too long $235 later tail shaft is "straightened" ! cut and balanced.

2.) Strut Tops
a.) Bushes in the top of the strut are much bigger than the shock itself, not a bolt-in fit like noltec suggested.... cut some appropriatley sized tube and we are away.
b.) Bolted the strut tops in and all is fine, 4 wheel laser alingment booked for next week after the box is in should be able to dial some extra camber in !!!

3.) Brakes
a.) Skyline R32 Disc's and calipers purchased for the front brake upgrade are under size massively legal limit is 29mm and mine measure 21.9mm !!!
b.) Skyline Brakes have no hope in hell of fitting, offset of rotor and size of caliper means no go.
c.) 305mm DBR Rotors purchased (brand new) and PBR 4 SPOT calipers, brackets made and braided lines fitted, pedal feels ok yet to drive the car see 1.) Supra Conversion

4.) Bigger Pulley for Supercharger
a.) Removed pulley and sent into the shed to lathe up an alloy one !!! more info next week will have the pulley on tomorrow but wont know what boost its producing until we get a drive see 1.) Supra Conversion.... next week hopefully.

Will have pics later on in the week just want to get the pulley done and get out of this 40 Degree heat !!!!

These are the rims ill be keeping on the car for the time being as they give me a bit more room between the brakes and the wheel.

Next week suspension gets setup(alignment,camber etc..), brakes further tuned.
