Good work - I think you asked on garage thread about solid lifter, but since you are further along then me, where did you end up getting the lifters and shims from? I assume you had to go through the pain of test fitting, measuring and then working out the shim thinkness for each valve?

Also where did you get you oil pump from - not seen any on the usual sites?

Si.

Hi all,
Been a while since i've posted.
The T28 i fitted had a little to much shaft play and started to sing at full noise (thrashing) so i ditched it and bought what i was too tight to buy the first time!
a Garret 2871r with the small rear housing....... yay 220 rwkw with no cams.
Every thing just bolted straight up as this is the "two bolt" intake type. A direct swap for nissan s14- s15

Pic bellow is the the T28.......note the Bent fin :cry:

Some bushes are in....

New nardi deep corn 330mm and triple dice shifter that i got in Japan......New hydro handbrake lever too...stainless (dosn't flex)

Some thing ive wanted since i bought the car...... Roadster sill plates ! yay !

and.......... i had a little mishap at the drift demo at the TOPGEAR LIVE FESTIVAL :roll:

It was a tight little track and one mistake and you had no where to go.......except up a gutter :cry:

Luckily i only bent the rear lower control arm bolt (the long one in the knuckle end) ....just replaced that and away i went.....lucky i have 3 sets of wheels to :roll:

I got a new rear bumper.....JDM one with roadster badge......also big ugly JDM number plate hole......meh

For those of you that dont check the NB wheel pic thread......

With the 16's i was running 4.3 degrees of camber on the rear....... which ment that i would drift through a brand new pair of tyres in 4 laps at winton ! mainly just wearing the edges off though..leaving 60% tread in the middle that i would never touch.......
So on got the much less agressive 15x8 +25 sportmax thingys......( i forget their name).
Tyres are now 195 50 15 neuton's on the rear (they smoke like crazy, every drifter loves em)

I have straightened up the camber on the rear as much as the standard camb bolts will allow...... but i want neg 1deg of camber so i'll be modifying the rear arms soon....

I can also replace my munched front guards now without fear of the wheels/tyres catching them and pulling em in again...

old alloy vs new stainless hydro lever....

I tried to find my dyno sheet to post it up but i seem to have misplaced it.... stay tuned , i'll find it ....
