    Indeed. My Walbro runs at full speed (I used all factory relays etc.) and I never hear it.

    Just piecing the last final parts of my conversion together now. I still need to fabricate a lower bracket for the MK3 Radiator thats to go in. Waiting on some R33 rotors and calipers to arrive and need to modify the adapter for the pod filter to fit the 7M airflow meter. After that though, she's all ready to go. Here's a pic with some parts that ive accumulated so far

    Those black spacers look familiar!

    Haha, so should the rings on the hubs. I should say thanks to Stefan (and Cruzida of course) for them.

    That adapter plate won't suit Sam's R33 brakes, so to make it easier for him I'll take it back for me and order an r33 caliper adapter plate to go with my new widercentreing ring (if this is cool).

    Huh? you've lost me. You told me just an hour ago that you confirmed with Cruzida that the adapters/spacers would work with R33 gear.

    If the spacers for r32 and r33 calipers are different, then the ones i gave you won't work for you... so I will order a set of r33 spacers with my brake kit (r32) and swap the spacers over.

    As far as I understand the caliper brackets are the same, the calipers simply have longer mounting legs on the R33's to allow for the bigger discs. Cruzida should be able to confirm.

    The differance is in the calipers.

    Kit works for;
    * Z32/R32 Calipers and Z32/R32 Discs
    * R33 Calipers and R33 Discs
    * GTR Calipers and GTR Discs

    Providing the caliper matches the disc, it will work.
    If you have a mix n match combo though, it won't work.

    Nup thats cool. I was fairly sure the R33 calipers and rotors worked with your kit Cruzida. Tis good to get a confirmation though becuase i've already bought some calipers and rotors! Just waiting for them to arrive, i'm getting that twitchy i can't wait feeling...

    Okay, just managed to get a picture of the locations for the oil pressure guage to be hooked into.

    I saw the bolt at the very back of the block but i dont think i would be able to use that becuase of clearance reasons.

    This is a picture i took today of 2 locations on the Right hand side of the block. The one closest to the back of the block is the oil pressure sensor for the light (i think, it looks like it wasnt used before). The second one is right next to the oil return (i think thats what that pipe is) for the turbo. Its just a little plug but looks like it taps into an oil gallery. Sorry for the blurry pic.



    Comfirmation on the oil pressure sensor and if i can use the other location next the to oil return(?) would be great.

    I was under the impression that the oil pressure sensor was just forward of the oil filter?

    Thats what i was told but i couldnt see anything that resembled an oil pressure sensor near the oil filter. I'll have another look on sat when i start pulling out the 6M

    Oil pressure sensor is definately at the front of the block, it HAS to be there, or there would be a big threaded hole. The one you have pictured marked oil sensor is plugged and not used on every factory 7M ive seen (as in your pic). The one youve pictured is the one I suggested using if you wanted to run a guage and the light

    The one at the front of the block is roughly around where the turbo oil pickup is
