Haha I reckon!
Chose the Borg because they're cheap as to rebuild and the S372 from Bullseye has been proven to flow similarly to the GT42 at less than half the price. Plus they sound like a T51R hahaha.
Guys in the US are running crazy times with Borg Warners (normally S472s) on 1J's and 2J's, and I know JZ's outflow RB's, but I figure if I go for a slightly smaller one it should work out just nicely, plus I can 2-step the ar5e out of it and it'll only cost me $80 to rebuild haha.

So my plan was to get the motor in yesterday, but other things came up and we only managed to get all the pumps and sensors and other stuff on. Just need to put the clutch and gearbox up now then it'll be ready. The cam covers need to be painted again, I'm thinking of stripping them back and going for a different colour. Matte black is pretty cool but a lot of people are doing it now.

Hey mate, RB's aren't known for good fuel economy, but I think that has more to do with the type of people who drive them and how they drive them. 33s have a 50L tank and I once got 400km's from a tank with about 4 or 5 litres left, but normally it would be around 350km to a tank (bare in mind that's with 740cc injectors). A standard 33 should see around 10-11L/100km on a good tune. The factory claims 9.8L/100km.
They have awesome A/C also.

The motor is in, but I'm lacking time and motivation to get it finished, slow and steady wins the race, right?
I momentarily lost my mind and bought some wheels with +15 offset, so I'll need to get the guards pumped or lipped out, now sure which way to go. Lipped is far cheaper and quite rad, whereas pumped guards are most pricey but insanely rad.
http://www.pure-tuning.com/images/m3/rpf1_2.jpg
The wheels are Enkei RPF1 (weak US dollar is my new best friend) in 18 x 9.5 +15 all round. Even though they're the same width all round I'll still stagger the tyre width, 235s on the front (slight stretch) and whatever the maximum width I can fit on the back, I'm thinking Federal RSR 265s would do the trick. Plus I have the adjustable camber bars in the rear so I can have the wheel sitting dead straight to get the whole tyre on the road.
There's nothing wrong with the Lenso wheels on it at the moment, except for the fact that since I bought them pretty much everybody has them now and that annoys me.

Finally fixed the rear of the car with a lip wing.  And one for everybody else who is fed up with "my family" stickers...  Also took advantage of the weak US dollar and bought some genuine Enkei RPF-1s in 18 x 9.5 with +15 offset all round. They'll go on when I decide weather I'm getting the guards pumped or lipped because they have no chance of fitting with +15 offset  . Not sure which look I'm after yet.

The plan was to have the car driving tomorrow, but one thing I didn't consider was the extra inch deck height, so now the intake plenum hits the bonnet and it won't shut. I've ordered a new plenum with straight runners and a slightly bigger t/b and they should hopefully be here tomorrow. Also waiting on a fancy new catch can to turn up...
After that it will be many late nights of driving trying to run the motor and clutch in so I can go to the drags.

A little bit of disappointment late in the game. The angle of the new plenum and the sheer size of the new throttle body mean I can't use the awesome catch can I had made. So now I'm back to waiting on parts to arrive. I've stopped considering the idea of a deadline for finishing the car haha, all I know is it'll hopefully be sometime this month.

The oil catch would work well in front of the front tyre, in under the front guard. or the center recess in the boot would be a good spot.
I have some contacts that play with RB's if your after anything.
The rear wing should go back on it, your going to need it.
Looking good Josh.
