Had some time to get the turbo manifold welded back up, and redecked.

 

Also finished my own new conrod design. I’ll be having theese made for FI use.  And I could have put any name on them, but this knock knock joke never gets old... 

 

Now I’m stuck in corona lock down, and waiting for parts, bolts etc. Before I Can get anything Else done. :protest:

What will be next

I Think I need to get my ae86 build done. And then I’ll have a good hard Think about it.

but I can’t seem to shake the GTR out of my head. I might have to scratch that itch.

Oh cool 

Would be awsome if you documented that on here for us 

Not enough good builds lately 

 

But sounds like your minds made up on a Godzilla at some point  :thumbs:

And after alot of hours in the garage.... it’s finally out on it’s wheels...

 

just pulled the AEM, sensors and harness. Easyist ever to pull out, took 15 mins.

 

fitted the Stock ecu, and put Oil and fluids in and it fired right up. 

 

and now I’m getting the exhaust sorted and fitting the front bumper... and THEN. It’s ready for MOT....

Well… the car was MOT’d…. 
and then sold in parts…

 

I’m in Denmark. And just putting the turbo kit on the car in the first place could have cost me the car…. 
 

We have the worst set of rules and laws against modifing cars. And everything not up to code get’s confiscaded and you get a fine That’s bigger than the price of the car….

 

also a z33 like this cost the same as 22-25000£ to begin with in Denmark… so it’s just not worth the risk or effort…

 

even though it was the best car I had ever build…. 
 

now I have an ae86 that I’m restoring and a celica ta22 That’s getting some tlc. And a st185 gt4 on the Way.

 

I’m on Instagram and the book of face @Roadworthyish 


and also on the youtube where I do horrible vids https://youtube.com/user/ortegadk

Those rules sound dreadful and also similar to Australia and New Zealand 🤔 very glad not in that sort of issue! But your work looks very in depth 

It does suck yes….

 

You can’t really do anything like this and still legally drive it.

 

and with a 180% car tax here, you Can basicly tripple all your prices on cars, so the starting point is so expensive, so with the risk of loosing the car it’s a gamble…

 

and to top it all off, a 350z will cost around 1000£ a year just to be registered on the Road. And then insurence on top…
