Finally a few pic's of the donkey going into this build
An Audi A5 3.0 Tdi Capa v6.
When it first arrived , it is fairly untouched apart from the engine mounts removed & ecu removed
Ready to be dropped into the car.
This in stock form is 177 kW (241 PS; 237 hp)@4000-4400, 500 N·m (369 lbf·ft)@1500-3000
But this car will have an uprated intercooler, hybrid turbo and no Dpf or Cat & a full 3" stainless exhaust.
The egr & swirl ports will also be deleted from the ecu.
This should yield results of 320hp & 500-550ft-lbs
Depending on how much smoke is acceptable :)

Made big progress over the last 3 days on the subframe and A5 engine mounts
R33/34 GTR subframe un-modified
Subframe as off today
The subframe needs to be mounted reverse way's, because the audi engine and gearbox has the steering rack mounted in front of the axle.
Not a problem considering the chassis legs needed to be drilled regardless.
This is the passenger side mount completed
This is the beggining of the driver side mount. I cant finish this until i know the clearance of the steering rack.
These are the two engine mounts i made for the audi block, they utilise the skyline engine mounts
because the engine weights are the same and if needed i can change them to GTR or polyurethane
I have notched the passenger chassis leg to clear the A/C pump it is only a few mm close, but i would rather have decent clearance all round

More skyline work,
All my work for the next 2 weeks are going to be skyline work as
its going back to the shop to get the bodywork done.
So ill be working there aswell to get the finishing touchs done.
Finished making templates for the new engine mounts & subframe mounts.
These will need to welded re-inforced & cleaned up as this is them in there un-touched form.
This is only the driver side mount template.
Passenger side will be finished tomorrow.
Chassis legs still need to be notched for the driveshaft & for the A/C pump & pipes
as this is all being kept for this car.
Hoping to have engine sitting in place tomorrow, with all my welding & re-inforcements done aswell.
I also finished machining the trigger wheels i will post pictures tomorrow also.
These needed to be machined on the lathe on both sides in order for the diff & propshaft to side into them.
this also makes them smaller so not as big a bolt is required.
Trigger wheels brackets still need to be made, this will be done during the week.
It is progressing & this week alone it should come along way.

More Skyline work this morning.
First bit was reinforceing the rear subframe welds & bracket,
Then fitting an enerygy suspension snubber above the diff to take the load after the stock mount.
Shocks to the drivetrain break things & torque break things.
So the shocks i can the minimise, the 550ft-lbs on demand i cant :)
A quick glimpse of the steering rack im fitting to this car.
Using stock Gtr tie rods to match the original width.
08 Mazda rack with 2.7:1 turn ratio & 160mm stroke, Alot better than the 3.1 ratio & 140mm skyline rack, Making a much more go-kart like steering response, Giving a theoretic lock to lock ratio of 2.4 turns plus extra lock.

Im a big fan of drifting since i had my old fc3s rx7.
But thats gone so i get by with playing Rfactor,
Best drift or car simulator out there in my eyes , everything else is still arcade-ish
So i decided to upgrade my G25 Wheel to a Logitech T500 RS
Great wheel & far superior
few pic's after unboxing.
The forcefeedback takes some getting used to but is very impressive.
Anyone interested in online drifting check out JDMFACTOR on facebook

Colt toke a back seat the last few days while i finished college exams & got working on the skyline rear subframe today, managed to get most of it done, Next is abs trigger wheel & sensor mount then get the driveshafts sorts they will be a mix off A5 inner & Skyline outer cv's
First part of removing the skyline diff front mount & giving me the clearance i need for the audi diff mount.
Front diff mount made from sheetmetal, supports the original audi a5 diff mount.
Still need's about an hours welding on the underside
