Hey Ryan, can you chuck up a few pics of your motor and engine bay mate, iv noticed you have gone with the chrome pulleys etc (which look great). Did you stick with black rocker covers? Dad and I were selling a couple of the chrome power steering pulleys on ebay (we got extras done to sell). Is there where you got yours from or did you get it chromed?

Update.

Ordered the wheels for the car. Showheels Streeter.

Posted Image

I was keen to fit 17x8's on the rear but due to the skyline diff being wider than standard and the available offsets I had to settle for 17x7's all round.

Also ordered my number plate, I hope its quite self explanatory.

I've just re-read your thread from start to finish and can't believe how much work you've done. :clap:

Amazing amount of time, effort and money has gone into your project but it will be worth it in the end. :spoton:

The torana is registered and on the road. Have been running it in over the past week. Very happy car drives well, has more pick up than my VZ V6 with the 3.9:1 gears and is quite on the inside, it seems like the Dynamat has been a success.

All will be revealed at Toranafest and hopefully I will be meeting up with all the sydney boys at Thornleigh? Maccas early on the 20th and heading up the freeway to newcastle.

Thanks for all the help over the past three years, you members have helped alot through out the whole project.

Thanks Ryan
