Cool Update

Well there was one other difference found with the Turbo which I was stumped on. The Oil thread line at the top of the Turbo was bigger than the standard thread size. I could Not understand it as the Cherry Turbo oil inlet size is the SAME as the Silvia one. Basically on the Silvia Oil line (standard) it has different size nuts at either end. It actually turned out to be the larger size so I buchered Two standard pipes and put on the larger nut and flared the end. Its all back together now and running but I have ordered a braided hose from Ebay as there only £20!. Its been time consuming as I've been setting it up once warm (ie tappets, timing and flushing out the oil/coolant and replacing it with New stuff). I've also sprayed the radiator to make it more presentable as its a Recon and paint was flaking off. The body needs a good T cut and polish ..Pics to follow...
