All paint work is 2pac straight off the gun, hasn't had final rub with 2000 and buffed yet.

[Shtstr]

As you can see the radiator is set back 50mm so the thurmo fan can fit between the radiator and the inter cooler.
Being an lc the grill hides the inter cooler a bit.
Allso i know it might not look too crash hot but i'am fitting a a9x style front spoiler to hide the pipe work for the inter cooler and air pod intake at the front, and i hope it takes you eye's off what lay's beneath.
The best part is it sounds just like a std gtr torana.

[Shtstr]

Under the bonnet,the intereria and in the boot is all blue black and silver. no other colours where used.

[lxsstorana]

That's a great looking car Dave and it should go pretty well.

Keep adding your photo's as your project developes (everyone loves pic's).

What are your plans for the car? (get it registered, track car?)

Mick.

[Shtstr]

Car is to be registeres in QLD and driven on the road.

[Shtstr]

i thought about going v8 but thats been done. plus with the price of fuel insurance and rego, it was a far cheaper and just as easy going with the jap motor plus it sound std and has big balls.

[Shtstr]

All the transport boy say is that the cage is to be bolted in.
In this case i know the cage is welded in but i have also put bolts on it to the body of the car.
This way it makes their requierments of being bolted to the body.

hey lc xu1105 love the paint job i was going to say that i see alot of racecars put the standard brake booster in because they don,t stop aswell but that was only if you were going to race it but that,s not going to happen if your going to put it on the street, correct me if am wrong about brake booster guys ok cheers billywest this would be alot of fun to drive hey i didn,t know you can get rego with roll cages can you i thought they were frowned apon mmmm i don,t know hey anyway keep up the good work lcxu1105 keep us informed of the process cheers billywest

I have never heard that the larger booster gives less brakes, as it is suppose to increase brakeing performans not hinder it.
Thats why they came out on the xu1's

Looks awesome mate! Is the front end Tubular?

No matestd x member modified to suit the engine, as the rb25 neo engine is differnt to the rb30 so some things are slightly different.

Wow! Awesome. Another RB25DET in a LC. I am currently putting one in mine. Did you end up using any CRS stuff? Engine mounts etc? Or make it all up yourself?

Have you got anymore pictures of engine fitment? Plus if your using the R34 5 Speed where the shifter comes through in the tunnel?

[xu1kid]

now that gold and black looks great mate , i woulda loved to go jap turbo motor but too much hassle for me , keep up the great work

I did use the cae engine mounts but the rest i made myself as i'am a boilermaker by trade.The shifter comes up about 5" further bacf so you have to lousen the bolts for the hand brake leaver and push it to the left on an angle and bent it slightly to clear the shifter.
The tunnel will need to be widen with a hammer where the box hits near the speedo pick up as well.
The lip on the fire wall under the heater box needs to be flatern out and hammered back towards the cabin about 3/4 inch too.
I had to change the shape of the left hand engine mount on the x member too to clear the oil return for the turbo.
i also de liped the x member the same as if you where puttin in a holden v8 and the steering shat will need 2 lh lx steering nuckles in it the same as the chev v8 set up.
If you use the cae sump and pick up you have to hammer down the x member where the supm passes over it on the passenger side too as they sit lower then the holden 6 sump.
The booster has to be off set too to clear the inlet manifold aswell.
Hope this helps you out.
