thehelix112 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Thanks Rich, I have a G35 6-speed and trans adaptor ready to go. Clutch and flywheel I discussed with the guys here: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/107225-custom-qm-flywheel-with-3-plate-clutch/page__p__1004083__hl__%2Bvk56+%2Bcustom+%2Bflywheel__fromsearch__1#entry1004083 so I know where I'm going with that. Itching to get the welder fired up and fab up some mounts for the engine/box so I can get things in place!

thehelix112 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm still itching to make some more progress here. I wired up an outside 110v circuit this weekend with some friends which was fun, so I'm feeling more confident I can finish the wiring on the welder circuit and then get a sparky to come look at it and sign off/tell me what to fix. I finished wiring in the 220v outlet, and almost done with the GCFI 110v companion circuit: Then I just need to do the circuit box and good to go.

thehelix112 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yay done with this side: On to the panel box next. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Finished the panel box. Ready for me to get a sparky to come review the work before I flip it on: I know it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but as long as it works, and is safe, I'll be happy.

docaam Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 So did the engine fit inside the chassis at the end if the day or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I sold the project. But if you check the pics on the previous page, yes the engine (sans exhaust manifold) fit just fine. I'm confident I could've made it work, I still have the engine, so maybe I'll pick up another S30 chassis and go from there. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8gatzby Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 NOOOOO! Say it ain't so! I was so excited for you and your project. PM me when you get a chance, do you have anything left over? - besides the engine of course =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Thanks for the reply Dave, Do you have any idea if there is a difference in size of VK56 and VK45? and do these engines also need loads of parts off the donar car like VQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Docaam, I've never sat a VK45 next to a VK56, but I'd put money the latter has a higher block height, which I'd imagine would contribute to it's width. I was planning on running a megasquirt ECU, so I'm unclear what donor parts you'd need. Gatsby, Sorry to disappoint. The things I have left over are in the for sale thread http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/111846-vk56de-07-vct-8000mi-g37-6-speed-box-trans-adaptor-2x-hayabusa-throttle-bodies-2900/ but it's all sale pending.
