One small oversight on the Hydraulic shifter. Closed system is a bitch to bleed. Once bled though it seems to be working well-very well in fact. The opposing pressure applied to each side of the piston seems to prevent any air being sucked into system since the ram is never pulled back-only reversed under pressure. I also remounted cylinder with end pivot pins to remove any small bind/deflection as suggested by Fast. If this works out I'll replace all the lines with SS braided teflon lines to prevent any accidental line ruptures.

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

You have 2 holes to choose from and neither are suitable for a busa . Move the lower hole down approx .300 and you got it.

Tear down took 1 day including labeling and bagging parts.  3 hard weeks welding grinding sanding sandblasting painting and putting back together.
