S50B32 powered E30 318is

[Brisbane E30]

Well things are going a lot slower on my build than I would ideally like.

It is now 7 months since I paid for the cams/rods/pistons etc and only in the last week have I now been able to confirm that the engine was within spec so that the piston manufacturer could produce the pistons. That will take a bit of time but once that is complete I am hoping that the balance of the build will be pretty quick.

Here is a photo of the block after having been disassembled and measured.

Pics of the Gojira on Nismo's please

Edit: and does your upholstery man ship over the ditch now that he's got patterns?

I'll try and get some pics of the GTR for you. There are so many at the shop to choose from.

I would expect that the upholstery guy would be more than happy to ship his wares over the ditch to you.

Noel at High Society Kustom Garage (noel@hskg.com.au) is who you should speak to.

Cheers.

Thanks mate.

Taking a long time! But I certainly can't wait until it's finished.

I'd be very interested to see this in person when it's all done. I'm looking at getting an e30 in the next year and an engine swap is a must. Subscribed.

Awesome. Well I see you're a Brissy boy so shouldn't be too hard to sort something out to take you for a ride and show you the car.

I'm so jealous of your engine mods. I'm interested to see dyno results and see how it performs on the street.

Thanks mate!

And don't worry. I'm getting a Go Pro so there will be plenty of videos to share.

Thanks mate. Saw your comment in relation to the dash. I agree it was really quite reasonable $ wise all things considered.

As for the build as a whole - yeah I'm pretty excited about it. Should be pretty awesome when it's all done!

The pistons/con rods/ACL race bearings have now all arrived. Just waiting for the valves and then it will really be go time.

Check out the very small skirt on the piston! They are so light. This thing should rev its head off.
