well not much has changed its been in storage as fuel injectors started to leak,have sourced some early low impedance vg30et white injectors.just got to get them to fit as thay have a diffrent return set up.and also got a air research vg30 turbo as well it has a bolt on wastegate on it.will get picks of injectors and turbo tomorow.

Thanks,i got to get picks of my dad who was the panelbeater and painter for the car of when we striped it down/out and tidyed up the body and repaird the cancer.but here is what i got the other day.

Tight car dude.Any other plans for it?

That looks like a VG30ET turbo, it's a good thing you got the type with the wastegate flapper in the middle piece rather than the ones built into the downpipe. Those injectors are crazy, look like some sort of early attempt at a top feed/side return system?

[southerndatsun]

thanks skdmrx,not to sure yet want to get injectors sorted 1st,then manualise it.new rims in some time to as thay dont do much for it atm cant deside on what i want to put on it.yeah djz i think it is too but it is big and my mate that got it said it was defnitly off a dohc vg30det early as.
