Lets stick with car Ash, bit personal asking for photos of his slug. I'm a hack mate but I think Ash is referring to the pistons you'll be putting in the new motor. That's a beautiful example of something original, is that the one that was on NZ's equivalent of EBAY some time back. If I remember rightly it was a bloody good price to. I think I made a comment on it at the time. Look after it, you've done well.

the only thing im missing is pistons :( , im trying to source some at the moment.

Yeah thats the the one, it cost me $1500. a bloody steel if you ask me.

i think im going to keep it standard, except for the engine, its even got the original stereo

and i brought that spare engine for $300 with it already flowed and a lumpy cam in it, never used, the blocks had a freshen up, and he chucked in a spare gearbox, 2 ecus, a rb30 throttle body, a inlet manifold, 2 full gasket sets, spare oil pump, lightened flywheel and a near new clutch, and 3 starter motors aswell. a balanced crank shaft. theres a few other things too but i cant remember at the moment.

Should have done it Mike, I remember talking to you via email about 6am one morning about this one. I even considered flying across and buying it myself. I'm jealous.
