Thank you :) I do have a couple of March owners follow me on Instagram but not much as been said from them lol

I like to get stuck in straight away, no time like the present! This 'budget' build has certainly gone WAAAY over budget (as always) and its nice expanding my knowledge even on a platform I've already experienced. I've got a new CVT radiator ready to fit as they're slightly thicker than the...

So today was finally the day we get the engine back into the engine bay,woohoo! The first job was to get the engine on the hoist and bolt up the flywheel,clutch and gearbox. Followed by the starter motor (forgot to clean/paint this oops! but you can't see it luckily), engine to gearbox braces...

I sprayed them with PlusGas (much better than WD40). Any ones which seemed a struggled I used an Impact Driver

Spent a few more hours on the spare engine yesterday. As a temporary measure I painted the stock exhaust manifold in VHT Black and half fitted the alternator (may have lost the lower bolt oops) Rocker cover and coilpacks fitted (very happy with the colour choices) Refitted some of the...

Thanks Paul, trying to update this as often as possible :)

So an update on the MyHermes nightmare.... The tracking showed the parcel was unable to be delivered and to contact the seller. Spoke to the seller who had rung them and was told the packaging was damaged. He struggled to get back in contact so I tried, to which they were quite reluctant on...

Spent yesterday (Wednesday 28th) taking the car apart ready to remove the engine. I managed to do everything except remove the drive shafts in an afternoon. A friend is coming over on Sunday with an engine hoist to help finish the removal. With the unpredictable british weather and limited...

Its been a busy few days off work haha The bottletops could do with a proper refurb but wanted to keep the costs down. I'm still toying with changing them but still unsure. As for my old car, I have no idea if any parts are still kicking around. The engine was used locally in an junior oval...

Spent a couple of days cleaning the block up and painting. The engine was pretty clean to begin with so luckily I managed to skip the degreasing stage. I used various wire brush drill attachments to clean it up and plenty of brake cleaner to get rid of the dust. With everything being aluminium...

When I collected the engine I also bought a Garrett T2 Turbo and DIY manifold. I giggled like a little child and the thought of making choo choo noises from my rusty ****box. Thats when I dug deeper into the conversion.... These engines aren't the most renown for being strong when boost is...

I got round to finishing the pin stripe and it looks much better now its all the same IMO. I had to re-do most of the passenger side as I wasn't happy with it. Dont get me wrong, this is far from perfect and I'm sure its gonna lift in places over time but its a cheap mod for the time being :)...

Didnt have to remove anything else

I've got an S13 HKB Boss kit on mine, part number ON-17 (the 'proper' boss for the K11 is ON-203)

For future reference its a 27mm

Could someone tell me what size socket I'll need to remove the crankshaft pulley nut please. Unfortunately I'm not with the spare engine or the car to check but need to buy the socket for tomorrow Many Thanks

Could always get the roof vinyl wrapped gloss black?

If I didn't have the Skyline I wouldn't have hesitated spending the money on a standalone. I was hoping nistune was available and that would be the end of that. My budget can't really stretch to a standalone and forge build for the sake of 200hp when I can spend abit more and push the Skyline...

Were you on management when your ringlands went both times?
