so, finaly got head done, and fitted... and between drags and driffts this weekend we actually managed to get some work done:
engine basically assembled:
want to fit clutch andbox and drop it into car this coming wednesday...
also got around to getting car onto stands, and to remove the clutch pipe to have a braided one made up, also got the walbro fuel pump installed..
want to bleed the brakes while the cars in this position, hence wheels removed, going to replace the brake fluid with bell-ray dot5 silicon brake fliud like i used on my KTM.... never managed to overheat that fliud in the bush - constatly using the brakes so i figure it should work pretty well in the car aswell- just expensive as f*ck at +- R300.00/ltr

Yeah there is a few, Faheem just finished a white s13 with a rb25.
And I will do it, once I have money. I just totally fell in love with that brutal sound of a RB25DET

Yes, would be interesting to meet up. I have heard some serious power claims in CTN. Hopefully my car will be running in a couple of weeks.
Rudeboy , I am also watching your progress with interest, would like to know how it turns out, looks good !!!

Where did you get the Koyo radiator and what did you pay for it?
