Thee completion list is now down to the last 15 items - yes, I want to see how this baby hauls. I expect first is going to be over and done in a second, then the fun should start! The fella in WA who I have been speaking with just upgraded his s/c nose pulley from the 76mm to the 70mm, which I went straight to. He is 'creamin'' over his GQ dual cab ute - reckons it picked up another 50hp - not on dyno, so subjective, but he backed off at 190 and still had 500rpm to the redline - egt's were starting to hit 525Deg C - all sounds like a meatty conservative outcome for him, hope mine does the same.

OK, its alive. Put on the rubber suits and have a quick taste. Its missing the oil filler nozzle at the front, and the new aircleaner, but it fired up on the 3rd crank. Alignment of the 8 rib serpentine belt is tight, have not got it quite right despite BD saying it was set up, but then they didn't run it either.
Now just the finishing off which I suspect will take me 2 roster breaks. Pretty happy with the outcome, sounds different to what I expected, more mechanical and belt noise.
@MB, @AB can you upload the file I am going to send you next - I cant attach - its saying java script horse do-dee etc - beyond me.
Sorry guys, having some technical nuffy moments and being guided patiently by MB. We will get there - eventually.
Sorry guys, have opened account, logged in, now no log-in, can see video on my phone, via utube but not on computer, dont do that tapp a talk thing right now or whatever - getting frustrated with this now.

@poindexter, I notice your engine has a different pulley that Bullet supply? on the 3 bolt support to get the s/c wrap. I have 2 pulleys with identical lips like on the take up - this is just too much control, hence I have shredded the side of the belt. I think the chamfered pulley you have, the one almost directly below the snout pulley is what I need - I have contacted Bullet to see what they say.

I'm not sure that Bullet supplied that pulley, came from BD as far as I know......

Yep, more or less confirmed with Bullet just now, BD have not owned up, despite giving them the opportunity. Anyway, a radiused pulley on the way down from Bullet, so will be here for my return.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

The engine has lost its throaty note by the looks of it. I saw a supercharger manifold for sale on Gumtree today for a TD42 - to suit the s/c used on the 3.8 holden v6. It had a strange configuration being it was very offset to one end of the manifold, but it was manufactured in the US and imported - unused - $2300
