Awesome build mate!! Looks mint. Looks like you have the same problem as me with the rear brakes. I get absolutely no fluid to the rear. I re-kitted the master cylinder, and still the same.

cheers mate,we did fix that problem the issue was the travel in the brake pedal was not enough,take out the brake switch and fiddle with the travel.
we still have to work out what to do about a switch though lol.

up date,more problems though lol!!

ok so the car is on the ground,all put together,and drives BUT!!!

it has developed a miss at say 3000rpm and on idle it hunt's when the engine is warm and also will back fire when revved every now and then(sounds like its down on a cylinder or massive air leak),when its cold its fine(it was also doing this in the vn lol)
compression test was fine and every cylinder had over 160kpa i think my dad said,and have changed all vacum lines blocked them off etc.

we have currently replaced,o2 sensor, ignition module,tps,map sensor,has a brand new-coil,dizzy,rotor button and cap, leads are all new as well as plugs,injectors are recondition,and the fuel reg has been tested(though we still have vl pumps in the car every one says this is fine)
we have pulled the timing cover off to double check the cam timing and its all sweet,if we unplug the manifold temp switch then the engine check light comes on and it idles even worse so that seems to be working.
the only thing we haven't replace is the ecu which the part number is 099337 AND has written on delco, Holden, Nissan, Toyota which seems a little sus?(CHECK PICTURE)
if its not the ecu i'm thinking a leaking manifold, though doing the old oil test is showing no singes of smoke from the rear off car.

ANY ONE THAT THINKS WE MAY HAVE MISSED SOME THING PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!

ecu
fuel reg
02 sensor
dizzy cap

No one could work out what was wrong......

One thing we may have put it down to was fuel line was close to headers so maybe before the fuel was to hit before it enteted engine
