Now that the body is almost painted i need to think about getting the motor ready to fit.
while i have the engine on the engine stand i will replace all the gaskets and seals as well as the cam belt and water pump. and give the engine a general clean up.
I have most things that i need to get the rb20 in and running but one thing i need is a fuel delivery system. I recently purchased a surge tank but i still need the lift pump and main pump. I will probably use a vl turbo for the main pump but i am on sure what pump i will use for the lift pump.

i would like to say yes but dont think i am going to find the time..

I fit some old second hand rubber to my rims for now so i can fit up my willwood brakes. unfortunatly they would not fit in side the 14 inch rims and i still need to be able to roll it around. I will put some new tyres on when it gets closer to putting it on the road. These tyres are 235/45x17 all around but i will more than likely run 245 when the time comes.

I am going to wait till i have it all together before i go getting rid of any parts as i might still need it. Plus i am from australia so the harness may be different because mine is right hand drive

Thanx man. 5 years on the body work. It would want to look smooth

I checked out your build thred. Yours looks cool man. You will get there. Atlest you can drive yours with out being worried about damaging or scratching it. I have been building mine for 8 years now. I have forgotten what it was like to drive.

More pretty pictures ;D next week i will be putting in some brakes so i can bring it home ( i have a rather steep drive way and would like atleast a hand brake so i dont lose it through the back of the shed

zzzzed · **Posted:** Sat Mar 10, 2012 3:17 am

this week i have been working on getting the brakes fitted up. the fronts were easy as they came in a kit. but the rears are from an r31 skyline and i had to do some work to make them fit, Next week I will be fitting up the brake lines and hand brake cables and hopefully it will be able to stop when i roll it down my drive way

I will be rebuilding the rear brakes before the car goes on the road.

Awesome work, that lime is the best colour for S30s IMHO.

Regarding the rear brakes...honestly...Aussie R31 rear calipers are garbage. I would have stuck with the drums, at least you'd have a functional handbrake and they wouldn't seize.

zzzzed · **Posted:** Wed Mar 14, 2012 3:07 am

i need rear disks to get it past for rego with the rb20 in it. I will be upgrading to willwoods for the rear a bit later, I have already hooked the hand brake up and it works fine :tu:
