glrnet Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Finallyyyyyyy! Last 2 parts ordered for the builds. 2 baulk rings. Cost 90 quid shipped. From the us compared to Nissan who wanted 55 + vat each for them! So that's everything apart from the fluids. Although I have all the gearbox oil. Just need engine and coolant when done. The rest is there even the spray to do the block. I'm all done a paid out lol. I'm happy chappy. Good man, top effort, I'm impressed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth29 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Looks good, did you think about lightening the crank? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedutch Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Badders, If you tip your exhaust up you will probably still have 5lt of oil sloping around in there !!!! This has been an epic rebuild, I bet the car will be transformed when you drive it next! Run it in properly and enjoy your Scotland trip, after this you deserve some fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Bradders- Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Cheers guys! New exhaust system already in the garage so no oil in there lol. Thanks for the kind words! I really hope it feels new when its done! I think i might do a few laps of the m25 ring when its back together lol! Run it in quicker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If you can, I recommend the vibra-technics mounts that I got installed yesterday mate (considering the motor is out) Great work dude ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 You'll never get pros in the engine bay, no room, that's what the boot is for After she's back together and run in, you gonna hit the dyno and see what's what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If you can, I recommend the vibra-technics mounts that I got installed yesterday mate (considering the motor is out) Great work dude ! Pros and cons?? No cons mate (except for £227.86), the engine is kept in place rather than floating around. Worth doing the bushings on the rest of the drive-line though, gear change feels a crap ton better (but I had other bits done before the engine mounts). Ultimately it depends what you want from your car. If you do go with vibra-technics I've got the road ones, they also do a track one, no added vibration from my road ones that I can notice.
