j_jza80 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Nice Although nowhere near as extensive as your colour coding, I'm going for satin black on my rocker covers and plenum, with a gloss black spark cover. Are you going with a vvti head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going with a vvti head? Im really not a vvti fan. I know people love them but I just don't like the look. I know that sounds silly. Satin black will look great imo, I only went gloss as its fresh and different. I Nice, what turbo you going with? No idea yet, not even planned turbo side yet. Got lots of time to think about that step Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thought i would post up some pics of the engraved parts i just took delivery of, now that they have chromed they are just amazing and the detail in the work is mind blowing. I decided the chrome engraved water pump pulley stood out like a sore thumb in chrome, so i 24ct gold plated that to match all the pulleys. The work in the top water pipe is incredible i could actually look at it al day long and still find details everytime, no wonder that part alone took 5 full days. Lee at SRD has been busy too and sent me a few pics of the engine nearly completed, painted all the sump and sump pan gloss black to match the rest of the engine. as always his work is faultless and has done a fantastic job.

j_jza80 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I can only imagine how much work has gone into that! Do the pulleys need balancing when they've had material taken out of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I can only imagine how much work has gone into that! Do the pulleys need balancing when they've had material taken out of them? They are PHR pulleys mate, wont need no balancing. Yeah silly amount of hours (days) in the work and honored to display such incredible work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 cheers guys for the nice comments. After fitting the chromed engraved caps i didn't like the chrome on gold combo, stood out to much so i ended up gold plating the caps.. much better now. I dont usually get to excited about parts but i have now got my hands on a greddy oil cap! i am very happy as these are becoming very rare nowadays and its the cherry on top of my build. oh yeah i gold plated this too haha. picking my new engine up at the end of January!! cant wait to start bolting some things on and SRD have done a faultless job as per usual.

Rob_Mitchell Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) It took alot of balls to bite the bullet and gold plate the engraved top water pipe but i just think that against the chromed belt covers it will break it up better.. looks hot i must say lol. the detaili this piece is incredible and plating it i just found myself finding new hidden details. I also purchased my old syvecs s6 from the gold rush supra! whoop im really happy to have a bit of that back and control my new build. practically brand new as im the only owner to use it. ASNU 1100 injectors also purchased. some more bits ticked off the list the detail in this work Edited December 16, 2015 by Rob_Mitchell (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Cheers guys for the nice comments. Well today i took delivery of some stainless steel nuts and bolts from Clay @ versatile fasteners! as always quality is exceptional. I cut some thread to size and lock tight'd dome nuts on the end. The first batch is to hold my cam covers on when i get them back. I also 24k plated the water pump to top water neck joiner and replaced the 2 rubber O rings with new I 24k gold plated 20 dome nuts in total and ill use these throughout the engine build, as everything needs to be the same type nut and bolt throughout. Some interesting stuff happening in January but till then merry Christmas everyone.
