The thread you've been waiting for!

[Gowf]

Well you shall all see very soon that i actualy do have a legnum and not a plethora of skylines and GTO's..... the manifolds are almost complete!

So 4(at least i think its 4, it may even be 6)months on and finaly after all the set backs and disapointments i am picking my car up on saturday. Yes i know, i have heard that for the past 4months, but ive been up there and seen the finished article! Just the exhaust to be fabricated then i can get it....If you call a 3" straight pipe an exhaust!

Anyway, hopefully after a week or so of fettleing, the car should be up and running(as long as too much **** hasnt fallen down the bores or into the turbos! Really quite excited now, as finaly i can see the end. End is a loose term though, as this is still only a stop gap before the proper tub's get put on, and rebuild at xmas time.

Anyway Once i have it back and working, and i stress working, then i'l post pics of what bankrupcy looks like!

As I said last night, I'll sell you on ebay if you like? We should make enough to keep you clear of bankruptcy for a short while

[WildCards]

Cool.

[Gowf]

Cool.

So this means that your dad will finaly get his exhaust, you'l get your tyres, and you'l have a finished 205 one weekend soon!

[Mark 4]

Good news Gareth, looking forward to seeing your results.

well your correct on two of those points , but which ones


Excellent news matey , can't wait to see it run

[Kieran]

Yay!!

Looking forward to seeing it in action and used in anger!!

[psbarham]

nice one mate, i bet your chuffed now. does this mean the 'liner won't need the custom made psb billet allumium external adjustable wastegate spring now?

[Nick Mann]

Need to see more!!! Need to hear more!!! Get some numbers up sir! (In a week or so, anyway!)

[Gowf]

Right then.... manifolds are done.... downpipes are being made tomorrow, then exhaust after that. Picking it up on wednesday now, but for a change that is a definate.

[Gowf]

Bloody hell, your like a bunch of old women!

Right.... i shall put you all straight.

No i dont have my car yet, i was due to pick it up on saturday but didnt... so its now wednesday but i dont think that i can manage that either.... so its looking more like the weekend.

As for pics....... i did say previously that pretty pics willl be put up when the car is running again. Even though im getting it back im still looking at a weeks solid work at least on it before any mapping is even started, so your pics are a little while away.

Bought the final bits for it today, fans and turbo insulating bags... so its all here ready to be thrown together as soon as i can.

All thats now left to do is sell the skyline...... anyone fancy an economical runaround?

Oh and paul, used my welding idea at the weekend, worked amazinly. but now realise that the actuator was fine, its a coil issue so a new set are on there way. 0.85bar on wastegate....thats what im talking about!

[valmes]

I guess I missed the part with specs... what are they?

drum brake return spring?
more expense then oh well at least the cause has been found

Yeah there was nothing said in this thread as it was mentioned about 6months ago when i started the whole thing.

The jist of it is a pair of TD04-13G's from a GTO for the time being. Then at xmas time, the internals are getting done along with some headwork and looking at going to either 15G's or 19T's.... i know there is a huge difference between them, the issue is i dont want a car riddled with turbo lag.... so im still undecided on that.

Its been that long that i cant remember whats on the car, as most of it has been done prior to manifold manufacture, but heres a list anyway, but dont take it as exhaustive.

TD04-13G's (then 15G/19T)
Custom s/s manifolds
3" straight through exhaust
2.5" downpipes
twin air filters
custom induction pipework
GReaddy intercooler(the big one, cant remember its name)
GReaddy oil cooler and filter reloated to passenger front wing
twin 10" spal push fans
air con removed
550cc (although going to 700's soon) RC injectors (from GTO)
Sard 265lph fuel pump (hard wired)
Sard FPR
Twin feed fuel rail
exeedy 4 puck clutch
lightend flywheel
B&M shortshift
Battery in Boot
Map 2 ecu
PLX wideband and 2 egt's
SPA oil temp/pressure and boost
knock link
NGK 8's
(the forged stuff that benh has posted up pics of)
Im struggling to think of other stuff without the car here, but thats most of it i think.

I want to change the box to have a straight cut gearkit, well idealy a 6 speed sequential dog box is what i wanted but i can not justfy that sort of expense, and have a couple of lsd/plate diffs in there, as im fairly confident the gay-y-c will not cope with punishment its going to get

Oh yeah as a final thing..... there has been talk of a 200 shot of NOS going in.... we shall just have to wait and see.....

Gareth, get that list into your garage and you can just direct people there in the future. Might save you some time as the list will undoubtedly grow.

There are loads more bits on the car, but there not really to do with the thread so i just missed them out..... scary thing is i just calcualted what the car has cost me, i think we'l just forget about that and live happy in the knowledge that i can always sleep in the back of the car!

Yeah it was, off an escort. It has worked really well, but just blowing the spark out... hopefuly these splitfires will resolve the issue... but yeah, not becoming such a cheap car any more!
