Andy, you have the patience of a saint. I promise to do this today and send pics on here.Any luck?
Its no problem
I've got a 2 full days on the car this weekend, so looking to get some of the other crappy bits out of the way and also look at hooking up the battery to see how many electrcial issues I've gathered while its been sat in my garage for 8 years!
Progress has now stopped until next year.
I'm poor and need to start saving up over the next 6 months ready for Feb/March next year and continue with the car!

The spacer has worked.
It's a 15mm thick spacer, but when it's all tightened down, the gap should be about 5-10mm from the gearbox.
The exhaust needs a little jiggling around as its a little off from being bolted on, but that shouldn't (I hope) be a major job.
Let the project continue...

Yay! Finally. My 10 mm spacer is enough but only just, 15 would’ve been more accommodating. Rock on!

Well it did work, but its now made it a nightmare to fit the exhaust.
Dug out my old turbo to see how much it will be to get that rebuilt as a tempoary fit just to get the car started.
Beyond pissed off at the moment!

Old GT2871RS turbo is being rebuilt as a temporary fix so I can get the car started.
Collect it hopefully Tuesday next week, right before I'm busy so can't work on the car.
So install should start on the 14th Oct.
Also collected a Z32 maf, so should be a case of fit and start the car, fingers crossed!
