Superb. No other word for your creativity.

It's inspiring when people like yourself don't just carbon copy what every tom dick and harry has done. This imho is more what a 2013 hotrod Torana should be.  IMO it should always remain a Torana with stop,go and corner like a 2013 sportscar.

Another job done, used the rear r33 tailshart and shortened it 45mm shorter than the r32 tailshaft and cleaned and regreased the cv joints.

Found the r32 cv has a rubber seal at the back and the r33 doesn't

Don't you worry about that, but in asking yourself the question - Do I really have time to question how other are going or should I be pulling my finger out of a very embarrassing location??

 

Stop tickling your prostate and get that thing on the track. :stirpot:

Adam, the show was ok, a lot of people didn't look at it.
 
Got the exhaust made, 3" stainless.

Bloody oath. I'm sure it'll draw a crowd when it's finished though.

 

I was going to go and have a look but Classic Japan was on in Melbourne on the same day and ended up going to that instead.

Why would you look at an all wheel drive Godzilla Torana?

 

They are pretty common ...... are they not?    :stirpot: :stirpot: :stirpot:

 

Looking underneath it looks made for it, ......what more can anyone say "Simply Awesome".

You sure did a good job of bending the sway bar to fit around the exhaust. :D

Got to say turbo76lx got to take my hat off to you, if that torana drives anything like a gtr skyline mate its going to be one hell of a ride, let me tell you.

Added braces to the front, under the guards to help support the top of the suspension towers.

Also made braces to go from the front subfame to the torana subframe mounting points.

Imagine if this could be made into a kit?

Too complex I guess for a kit, looks like allot of custom work

Made up a second catch can/windscreen washer bottle and also a power steering reservoir.

I plan on running two catch cans, one on the drivers side retuning to the PVC and to the sump and the

second on the passengers side returning to the inlet of the turbo and the sump as well.

I'll be able to hide the boost control valve and windscreen washer pump in the cavity under the tank.
