Desperately need a low ratio lsd on it though. Will post a few pics tmorrow or at the weekend when its had a good clean :)

That was quick work! A nice front spoiler would cover up those pipes. This must be amazingly fast!

Looking good, is there space for the rad? Or are you going to have to cut some of the front away? Can imagine cooling will be a big issue, I'm currently building an rb25 s15 and have more room then that but still have cooling issues. Will be watching this closely as wouldn't mind fitting an rb to my e30 in the future (went for the ca18 as I was running out of funds with the 15), good progress tho, what's the sump clearance like?

Edit: didn't realise there was a second page on this only read the first. Looking good.

Standard r33 gtst engine gearbox, custom engine/gearbox mounts, Custom made prop mated the r33 gearbox to the standard 325 diff. R33 brake servo, r33 p/s pump, R33 radiator, r33 engine ecu wired into 325's loom. The majourity of the bits to make the engine work in the car are all custom as you would expect.
