I thought I might put up some pics of the TE with the G200z in it. Its all going mint now I think not perfect but as good as its gunna get without some serious amount of cash been spent on things like new sensors ect. It runs alot better since I put the full induction on I only had half the original piazza on there and it had a hell flat spot comming off idle. The induction sound is awsome simular to a VL commy sound loud as. Last week I took it out into the country and tested its top speed 185kph was enough for me I got scared things bouncy as.

Started to make the turbo manifold today did'nt get to much done. Went to a 21st last night and I made a mess of myself. I'm trying a slightly differant design this time around try and keep the turbo closer to the engine instead of hanging right over buy the shock titty.

TG should be legal in the next couple of weeks i have put all the running gear from that parts car into it cept the engine and box. I want to sell the TE to help fund finishing off the diff and other things I committed to without looking at the cost properly first . I'm going to put the carby turbo G161z back in with a bigger turbo its a T2 or a T25 cant find any info on what it acually is. It looks the same as my mates s13 turbo which is a T25 so I'm gunna go with that. I want to try and sell it fot $1500ish (no cert for turbo) what you guys reckon will I be asking way to much? Obviously regular forum members will get a better price.

I think thats a good price man. I sold my gemini wagon for $1800. I do see some mint condition ones of trademe that don't sell for more than a grand or something (I think theres one on there now) and I think thats due to the fact that later model gemini sedans aren't very sort after.
Remember to put in keywords on your auction that will get young fellas that are looking for an "oldschool rear wheel drive car". I know its cheesy and you will surely have heaps of munters asking questions and saying "keen for swapz brah?" but it will help with the sale.

Been busy in the last week TG is rolling and even been out of the shed first time since xmas 2005! I hope to take it for a WOF next week end. Its got central locking now and the battery is gunna be in the boot I got all the cables today. Engine still has a bit of stuff to be bolted back on but nothing major its just stock for now. Finished all the wiring engine bay is now de-loomed just gota run the cables under the carpet for the battery finish the interior and probably a lot of other sh#t I've forgotten I have purchased one of those megasquirt ECU's so thats what will be running the engine eventually. Also got a steel wheeled T3 Nissan turbo from a single turbo VG30. Was told it was from a Skyline but the part numbers say its from a 300zx. Its a little bigger than a R32 skyline turbo hope its not to laggy. Looking at getting rims widened because I have fallen in love with the look used to love the look of 17" or 18" on a Gem but not anymore. I'm gunna run a stock G200z turboed to start with and get the other one I have built for boost or I may just sell the car

Tg is running so stoked first time in like 3 years started straight away (after I cranked it with the coil lead off to get the oil around the engine first) Won't be off to the testing station tomorrow as hoped as I said found heaps of bits I forgot about So happy all my wiring actually worked been ages since I first cut into it and I couldn't remember what some wires were for. Bout 5th time I done this timed it by ear to start with then chucked the timing light on and spot on! awsome. Has fecked frost plugs so I cant run it for long because its not holding water Get some of them tomorrow then maybe take it for a spin.

Just the engine that its always had it refreshed though new rings, bearings, timing chain and seals. It also has a freshly ground fast road cam courtesy of kelford cam tech its barely run in. Rebuilt it about 5yrs ago still has the run in oil in it which will have to go 5yrs is a bit long for oil even if it isnt been used. Got the frost plugs so i'm gunna go do that now also got a box of piss so I'm likely to get quite inspired this afternoon

Got My Megasquirt the other day its second hand and the previous owner put it in a rover ECU box which has the same plug as my piazza loom Only have to move 6 clips on the Piazza plug to match and it will plug straight in! In other news sadly this week I have been very lazy and done about half what I wanted to do on the TG so no wof this week either
