Fucking love everything in this build

Wow wow wow wowloving the build that Dave did, that is pure workmanship and such a craft (that meticulous attention to detail is so refreshing to see, most builders take super short cuts... But thus is is just off the charts amazing! )
I know man, so many engine builds I see that have nowhere near the level of effort gone into the build. It really is refreshing to someone who has alot of pride in his work, kind of why I want to help him and get his name out there
Me too dude, I'm sure its going to crack some decent results on Greg's dyno. Probably THE most extreme TD06-20g setup in the country, with an engine built for alot more!
Cheers dude, you better get that PS of yours out again. 2015 is the year of the PS13's haha

Whilst everyone enjoy's the new update, heres a small, cool but insignificant update compared to the last one
It was time to reconsider my front braking setup, as it felt a lil' soft for my liking and with more power, I suppose I need to be sensible and up the braking power. I considered a front R33 GTR setup, as well as the K-Sport 8pot w/ 356mm Disc option but the latter option retails at a hefty price.
After alot of thinking, by the time I refurb the R33 GTR's, with decent pads and discs it wont actually end that far off the price of K-Sports, so the hunt was on. This actually happened about a month ago, I sold my front Z32's to a local chap for a deent price, which always helps to buy new things. It just so happened so, that a pair of practically brand new K-Sport's popped up on here, with Ferado DS2500 pads, braided lines, brackets, discs etc, basically everything you'd expect when you buy them brand spanking new. So after a couple of hours thinking on it, few messages exhanged and they were mine, with a hefty saving if I were to buy them brand new with the uprated pads (which are a couple £'00's alone). They were test fitted on a lovely spec'd 14 but unfortunately had to be broken before any use, so basically brand new!
(^^ Stolen from the seller's pic
)
I chose to opt for the 356mm when searching for them brand new as I wouldn't mind doing some grip work if and when in the future, so decent brakes are a must
Thankfully I've chosen to go down the route of 18's all round with this car which are required for this brake setup, unlike the 17/18 stagger I ran on my old 13. Although, this decision was made purely upon the basis I dont think the stagger works well on Coupe's, merely just S13/Hatch's that pull it off due to their shape
Ive got a vague idea of the new wheel I want to run, but things need to be sold in the new year to afford them after the roll cage in January.
PS: People with K-Sport's, what Brake Master Cylinder do you guys run? I ran a standard BM50 with the Z32's, so I'm thinking to get the full benefit from the new brakes i'd be better off using the BM57? Something i'd rather do now and bleed the system up once and right

Ahhh cheers for that, I think it may the case that I'll look for a Non-ABS BM57, but worst case is i'll run the standard one on then
Another awsome build
Cheers dude.

Hopefully April/May time, gives me chance to get the car up together before mapping
Received this today; an oil return flange for the TD06
I was intending on using a barbed fitting and use some hose and clamps, but after speaking to Daze I much preferred his idea and looked a lot safer. After all, id rather be on the safe side using an AN10 > Push On hose fitting which Daze said is so tight he has to cut the rubber off, which sounds awesome! (In a weird technical/safety perspective)
So, as soon as the engine is back (slight delay in the water pump arriving) I'll measure up the hose I need, and order the adapters needed to covert the block and turbo oil feed fittings into AN4

Had a nice little surprise this morning, a package turned up which I wasn't expected until the New Year, what with all of the Christmas rush etc;
Whilst I grabbed these, it was rude not to grab some clear corner lenses! Would've be rude not to put the corners on to test the fitment
A massive thanks to Jesse Streeter who got the above Bricks and Corner Lenses at a smashing price, service is second to none and stupidly well packaged, so much so the immaculate Bricks didn't suffer a single scratch on their journey from Japan! My original plan was to source some Bricks with tip top mounting points but cracked lenses as I want to run clear covers on them, with the corner light tinted orange, similar to a 'GTR' style effect, but the condition of these lights make me question whether it'd be a sin to split them apart!

Personally i didnt find the BM57 BMC any good. I swapped back to the stock s14 one. Found you had to push the pedal alot harder. Think you need the matching servo to see the benefit.

Sooooo, I was only waiting on the water pump to arrive before collecting the engine which promptly turned up on Christmas Eve!
I ordered the water pump from FRSport from an unbeatable price, which was combined with another item Now, anyone who knows about the S13/PS13 front end differences will realise you need a different set of headlight brackets which also act as a support for the slam panel. I saw one set for sale over here for quite a few pennies, but instead I bought a pair of brand new OEM ones for half the price! Cant beat Nissan OEM quality ahhhhh!
Luckily Dave was about in the afternoon, which considering it was Christmas Eve was pretty lucky as everyone wants to stay in doors, get ready for the big day etc etc. Anyway, popped up, had a sweet little chat whilst he fitted the water pump and we were good to go! From the photo's it looked pretty damn cool, but seeing it in the flesh.... now thats cool!
I left it wrapped up over Christmas, as I didnt have much time to work on it what with family duties to attend, as well as another priority, preventing any rubbish falling into it!
This lunchtime I managed to spare a few hours and unwrap it again and do a few little things. First up was fitting the old spark plugs and Splitfire coil packs. I did this as I didnt want to leave the bores exposed, but at a later date i'll get the correct plugs and whip the old ones out, better safe than sorry
I couldn't remember whether I had the gearbox bolts with me to put the engine onto the stand for a 'lil while, but hey, I had the adapter plate so may as well throw that on and use the bolts from that to fix the engine to the stand. I had to "trim" the top left corner as it ever so slightly fouled the breather pipe, just one of those things that arereal simple and insignificant which was solved within 60 seconds
Whilst pottering around I remember I brought my GKTech fan home, so gave that a quick wash and bolted it up. Something pretty vital in my opinion, made my SR run so much nicer temp wise. There's also the fact its real easy on the eye
Couldn't resist taking pictures throughout, so here, have one;
Quickly threw on the new oil return flange too;
I must say it looks 10x the quality of the previous one I was going to use. It is pretty close to the compressor housing though as Daze pointed out to me when he suggested it. I torqued it up whilst trying to leave as much room as I could, but time will tell. Only a 5 minute job to slacken the bolts and move around if the worst comes to it. I need to order up a few more parts to finish the oil drain, but due to the shape of the manifold/unequal length runners, there isn't a nice continuous bend that will miss the manifold, so may have to ask Huxley to knock up a metal return whilst the car is with him
I'll have another look tomorrow, or monday hopefully.

Yewww! Awesome little update there bud
Haha cheers guys
Had a couple minutes out on the engine earlier, just a couple of little tweaks. I noticed when the turbo came the core wasn't clocked so the oil feed and return were vertical, maybe that could be due to the angle of the manifold but took 2minutes to do this. Thankfully the Greddy unit has a clamp with a 10mm nut, quickly slackened that off and span a treat!
Now with the core clocked how it should be, it gave me an idea of the oil return, something that has been bothering me for a few days. To get a more accurate perspective, I threw the Turbosmart wastegate on to see how that would sit in relation to the return on the block
Here's what I'm faced with;
As you can see, the way the Mid-Mount manifold is designed, 2 runners sit quite low meaning a simple hose with a curve wouldn't clear it. Now, I'm thinking whether to remove the standard return in the block in favour on an AN10 fitting to match the return on the turbo. This could give me the freedom to purchase angled fittings to try and clear the manifold?
Whilst it was sunny, I thought i'd throw the clutch on loosely to check it clears the adapter plate. Reason being, when I researched adapter plates a couple of months ago, I read stories where some plates aren't designed for twin plate & above clutches. But, everything clear nicely so another plus on the Protuner Z33 > SR20 plate
I really do love how everything comes together on this engine, such as the GKtech water neck spacer, which blends in lovely with the refurb'd water neck
Couldn't resit a cheap iPhone special photo with added glare for 'dat effect. Seriously can't wait for the first start up, mapping and then feeling what this car can do on track. Its going to be a teeny weeny bit different to the 13 I used to drive

Where are you going to run your wastegate to dude? Atmosphere or you gonna get something made up?
Lydden febyou've got all the bits now!
Atmosphere mate, but it'll be pointing to the floor so should have a nice sound and not too shouty
I wish man! Cars getting a cage on the 12th, then I need to build the car up. Need to book mapping too which will be end on April/May ish with a bit of luck
