Thanks guys,
Yes the Rustenburg turbo's make some good HP, I am curious to see what I will get out of this one. then later will go fancy BB.
I am collecting now, so wont sell, saving for a R33 and R34 for the collection. test drove a R34 tonight, must say it is a very familiar experiance, the R32 and R34 feels 80-90% the same.
Rustenburg.... my old hometown, grew up there! nice! 😈
Nicely done.

Will see if the aircon works soon, if not I will need your help, please, the GTS has no motor to drive the aircon at the moment, so never came round to fix that.
I am terrible with wiring and pin-outs.
looking good...

Oil temp and boost gauge

Although the Apexi Power FC displays boost, I would rather have other things there on quick reference like knock values, and the fact that it displays in mm/hg is not easy to adapt to.
My car sprung a real bad oil leak from behind the front crank seal, when I removed the crank pully one could see the front oil seal was warn out a little.
I measured the crank in the motor with my magnetic base dial gauge and it is off center by 0.1mm, so it was only a matter of time before I would have a catastrophic breakdown, luckily this happened right in my driveway and not on the road.
State of the car now
