Nev also had some spare 240ZG flares so we taped them on for a look. Fronts would be OK, but the rears are way too big for my liking. I don't plan on fiting flares though.

Turbo manifold is finished, engine and gearbox mounts finished off as well. Will get more photos later.

Flares look good as does car. Would be obvious cop bait but with flares

engine conversion all finished, brought it back to my place yesterday to start working on all the little things - hydraulic clutch, fuel pump, engine bay wiring, oil cooler, radiator and fan/s, etc etc

here's a look at the finished engine mounts and manifold

Hammer time

I haven't been able to do any work on the car for the past couple of months with a thumb injury I got wicket-keeping, but that's finally starting to come good now and I've been able to start doing stuff again in the last week. The front hubs are off being machined for the S13 discs, and I'll will do the wiring and stuff this weekend if I get a chance.

And I finally found a cheap L16 engine (and a spare 63A box), so the original plan for an under 1600cc class car is back on. Good thing no-one bought my 40mm Dellortos. This is probably for the best because the engineer I've been talking to wasn't terribly enthusiastic about approving the engine swap with the carby turbo setup on it... no sense of adventure those engineers!

R-Fast, you have PM mate.

Whats the first date for Mt Cotton next year? Should be a bit of fun. Just wondering how easy it is to get Z20E rods in Brisbane, Harry. Can't find any here in Sydney, only alternative is to import from America or China.

Right back at ya Harry!

Thanks Jeff :)

hubs machined - SFA needs to be removed for the S13 discs.

And I did another track day at Lakeside yesterday in the big automatic Soarer barge and ran 63.0, so that will be the goal for the 120Y! I'll probably need about 120rwbhp to match the Soarer's power:weight.
