S13 Sprint/Time Attack Style Build

Local place made me some studs to Dale's spec in 4140, he was very happy with them. He seems pleased with the assumed final strength of the bottom end, this makes me happy -

Am not dead, just busy with home renos, other projects and MTBing. Building new/refreshing old post and rail timber fence, like 20-30m worth, lots of painting, digging, cutting n shit, almost there. Landscaping in spring, turf, sprinklers and all that jazz. This is a section of new stuff, those posts are hand tamped because apparently farmers say that's the best way 0_0 Bought $1000 MJ Triton farm ute, chucked in new transfer case seals and centre bearing, refresh oil/brake fluid/coolant, about to chuck in some new lower ball joints. Carby 2.6L petrol beast. MTBing continues, had my first decent off at 40km/h+ but bailed on the bike (say no to clipless pedals folks) and ended up running down the trail unscathed as the bike ate rocks, added a front mudguard which seems to helping keep the front stanchions clean. No other major mishaps Went camping over Easter, our 3rd time as a family and 2nd with the new tent, got jack of all the tubs/packing/setup crap with the tent/trailer and decided to buy something else, started looking at campers ended up with a little 16ft pop top thing (1500/1800 Tare/ATM). Added trans cooler (21 row vs 5 for the stock unit) and redarc tow controller to the Prado and switched to stock rubber (surprising how much better the car is to drive on stock rubber vs the ATs it had). 21L per hundred towing it home from Sydney (vs mid 11s up) not caring about economy and aiming for 100 climbs and 110 everywhere else passing caravans and trucks on the regular. Go the Petrol I did care about trans temps though so favoured climbing hills locked in 4th at 100 vs unlocked at 110, temps locked were mid 60s to mid 70s which is great. I am helping MM 4x4 develop his lockup mate for the V6 so I will get one of those as part of the process to help further but honestly it tows fine now as it is, a bit better economy would be great though. Hoping to get away camping again next few weeks. As per insta, DM Motorsport is back from WTAC and back on the tools, tells me the girdle sits a bit proud so it'll be machined to marry up with the sump pan/block etc and work continues on the head. Good to see it moving again. You're all caught up. -
OK I've missed all the drama, had no idea there was a death, will go suss it all out, what's the abridged version? Car looks very well behaved, why is the gear indicator on the dash going backwards?

In other bad news for Dose, a mate of mine sold his 33R and bought a C63 (older 6.3L) and uses it as his daily now, 4 doors, kid seats, the works. He was sick of not being able to enjoy the GT-R - Other car is a Territory for serious family duties. He is loving life, best decision ever he reckons, but he does change cars on the reg so we'll see what the next "best thing" is for him. At least you can drive you over priced old JDM car, mine is literally just a roller now lol

I legit think you should sell/buy/swap for an A90. Do as I say and all will be fine.

I have one in the silvia, HC20 or something, they do NOT like being flattened and seem to be a bit weak on the CCA side of things (the model i have that is) I keep the ctek on it.

It's the opposite, making a list will make me feel bad as I see all the things. Slowly chipping away without a big list of expensive and time consuming tasks and items looming over me is much better for my mental health -

I've had issues before when ctek wont start a charge and I use an old 12v charger on it first, but that's just to detect and start charging, never had an issue where it stops at stage 3. My MX5 or something model has a rejuvenate program, does yours? Ditch the battery, get a new lighter one otherwise.

I much prefer just loosely half doing random jobs when the mood strikes me. -

It's really just a test fit as I can't commit to anything until the cage is in then I will work around that. Make a list? I'm not ready to be that confronted... Block is currently at machine shop getting ultrasonic tested before it's bored and ready to accept the parts catalogue. -

Wasnt planning on doing the rear, still have heaps of adjustment on the arms and rims/tyres seem to clear other things OK once the guard is further modified.
