Aha yes the illusive print out.

Shoot me a txt tomorrow and I can get one printed out for you. Sorry i keep forgetting about it

Home ownership paperwork and lawyers is dominating right now.

All good bro, I've got 6 weeks till the other manifold gets here (the one I'm chopping up) and a Seat Cordoba to fix first anyway.

[DJZ]

Slight change of plans with this thing, I'm buying another motor for it, more details to follow once it arrives.

Scored a set of door mirrors for free which is pretty sweet.

I've paid for the motor so may as well put some details up here now. NZeder has had this for a while and decided to advertise it for sale on the Z Club forum.

It was built by Top Secret in Japan, it's an RB26 head on an RB25 block, not 100% sure what the bottom end internals are but I'll pull the sump off when it gets here.
The head has been ported and polished and the valve guides have been cut back, it has HKS cam gears and apparently has HKS cams. It comes with a brand new 200ZR rear bowl sump and three sets of Fujitsubo stainless steel headers, one set has been modified to fit an RB26 head by chopping the flange off and welding an RB26 one on, I'm not sure why they went to all the trouble, all you need to do is weld two tabs onto them. I don't know why aftermarket parts people didn't make things like this (and turbo manifolds) multi fit from the factory, it seems a bit silly.

The good thing about having the 26 head on there is I can bolt the throttle bodies & trumpets straight onto it without an adaptor plate, with the bits that it comes with I could probably have it in the car and running before the end of the year, it would have to come out to do the body work though.

It comes with a bunch of other goodies, some of which I'll use either for this, some for the final motor for the black car and some of it will get sold to help pay for this.

Wow!
Sounds like a cool motor!

Shit yes! RB26 NA with Itbs will be super sweet!

[DJZ]

Yeah man, I'm pretty pumped to get it in the car and running just so I can hear it haha. I'm off work for a few weeks in a month so I should be able to get started on it at least.

[Datto_610]

Sweet headers!

DJ I found the new belt today that goes with the under drive water pump pulley. I can drop off next week to the normal spot or if you email an address I will pop it in the post.
