they line up fine the issue is the height of the ports differs between VE and DE, notching the bolt holes all I have to do is lift the manifold up when I tighten the nuts and it all lines up fine Smile

Removed the 1 piece shaft for an LSD drivers shaft that bolts to the block

In order to fit this I had to remove a few things

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0450

and this heavy bounder

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0452

With the starter removed I took the opportunity to strip it down and clean it out, every one should do this with a clutch change

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0464

Then hammerited

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0465

this is how I'm helped

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0467

a cat

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0468

with the engine on the dolly I pulled the gearbox off and put my JWT flywheel and GSpec clutch on

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0470

I had also changed the PS pump and fitted a new sandwich plate to allow me to run an oil cooler, I modified the plate to take my gauges aswell.

In the bay I rubbed down a few areas and changed the Steering rack bushes for poly ones.

after umming and ahhing over removing the ABS I broken that off for next year and we got the engine back in

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0471

this time on all 4 poly mounts

Thursday

Just tidying up loose ends, had a package from Dale resulting in

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0475

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0476

Friday

Few things that have annoyed me I took the time to fix

the little pockets under the scuttle panel that water happily sits in, Ive drilled two drain holes either side, these were sprayed over with stonechip to prevent rust.

I cranked the car over a few times with the HT leads and plugs pulled till the oil pressure light went out to prime the cooler and it fired up first time Smile

The cooler has given me almost 3/4 litre extra capacity of oil which is a huge bonus Smile

This was brand new

almost complete, green wheels are off now for the winter.

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0485

and back down with the bumper all fitted up nice and snug

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0487

cheeky cooler

VZR N1 - Page 2 IMG_0488

I took it out and I'm happy to report it feels very quick, I did have a moment of no lobes.... the cause was the RSM not being powered on, checked back through the wiring and the earth cable had been pulled from the loom, most likely from being pulled through the firewall.

All in all a hell of a week sweating my tits off but it feels good now Ive done it, mods added weight saved things future proofed and lots of improvements Smile
