    Jesus. Glad I didn't build my own engine now, I hope mine lasts longer than yours 0_0
  3. No Crust Racing
    Fake and gay.
  4. No Crust Racing
    Going gangbusters mate, well done.
  5. No Crust Racing
    Is that the 33?!
  6. No Crust Racing
    Well that was fun.

    Yep, the other shed is already connected to a 33kl tank which is always full, I'll only connect one side of this shed to it (incase the other shed ever gets disconnected/removed). The other side will just go to overflow, we have so much bloody water here. I probs used the sink previously mostly for hand washing lol

    You can certainly put proper insulation in the roof/walls and plaster/mdf/plywood line it for substantially better temp control. You don't often see it done that way. I did consider a toilet, but for the hassle/cost/compliance for the rare times it'd be used, not worth it for me. Same with shower. I'll probably chuck some poly into the trench with the storm water/elec so I can have a tap on the side and maybe a sink inside. I had a sink in the last shed and it almost never got used so dunno if I will bother with that I've got an ultrasonic cleaner now so if I'm washing something it'll go in there and if I need to rinse it off I can just use the tap outside.

    The roof is done with aircell which is pretty normal for most sheds. I won't do walls as it seems fine in there on days that I'd be wanting to work in there anyway with the whirlybirds. I "might" chuck a swampy on it, maybe. For a house you'd do proper insulation and plaster it in, roof and walls. Sheds are cheap for lots of reasons, partly because they are not classed as habitable structures to council.

    Good work as usual by my preferred concreter. Back to cut on Saturday, let it cure and I'll maybe seal it.

    Cheers Duncan, matches everything I've seen and heard. Wasn't willing to spend the extra and have the hassle in the end for what is just a big farm shed. I've seen some nightmare stuff with epoxy lifting and having to try and repair patches from impact damage etc. This product is very forgiving, can be applied straight over top of itself with no special prep/actions and still keeps the oil out. Good enough for me. Looks like apron going on this week too :)
  12. No Crust Racing
    Hoping to get the apron poured in a week or 2 with my usual/preferred concreter. He also had a look at the slab "bit ugly, but nothing to worry about". He was mostly interested in where the hoist pad is (200mm thick 3.6m wide section, double mesh) and was happy with that. Hoist is gonna be a life changer.

    Trying to get motivated on the shed again. Electrician has been out and confirmed I can run power from the other shed (good news). Just teeing up a trencher and supplies to go in the ditch (storm water also). In the meantime, I had gone back and forth about what to do with the slab. I couldn't justify 2k in materials plus my effort to epoxy it knowing what's going to be going in and out and what it's driving on/through the get to the shed (red clay/dirt/gravel etc). I was mainly wanting an epoxy/painted finish for the uniformity as the slab is just ugly as f**k with trow/helicopter burns and pigment/oxidization differences where batches of concrete meet/the surface was finished too dry etc. Concrete supplier is comfortable the mix is fine and the slab is sound but that it's not "ideal" aesthetically. I didn't bother chasing the concreter himself because he was a tool bag which is why I axed him after the slab and got a different crew to build the shed. He came recommended from another member in the car club. I didn't want the hassle/cost/risk of going hard core on the acid etching as a test showed it was already at a good porosity for accepting sealer (plus the shed is above a water course). Grinding is also messy/costly etc so in the end I'm just accepting it as an ugly rural slab that's going to get worse thrown at it anyway. I wanted some level of oil protection and sealing so just ended up opting to use the same sealer I used on the last shed and had no issues with, there was also a mix up with how much I needed and I took some of it back which resulted in some kind of double refund so I've effectively paid $0 for the materials to seal it. The types of discolouration I mean, there's also differences in surface texture as you can see in other pics where the light behaves differently off the sealer (3 coats with grip additive). I did use a neutral concrete wash on it first and pressure washed the shit out of it to find that some of the foot prints I'd left on it myself, red clay, refused to come out fully and apparently require special chemicals to break down the iron oxide.... Anyway, I guess that will have to do and I'll just press on with power/fit out.

    Great progress, congrats on the hoist I am looking forward to it.
  15. No Crust Racing
    Paint is looking very nice
  16. No Crust Racing
    You can post it, saves me the hassle
  17. No Crust Racing
    Have seen Spaniards RB25 S13, cooler than mine, it goes on the list for review but I wont post details here in case he/she doesn't want them posted.
  18. No Crust Racing
    I did note my mistake and edited. You read the GT-R build and this one? Confirmed Masochist.
  19. No Crust Racing
    Sounds dodgy AF with 7 posts, I'm totally in. BRB bois, let me see if I keep my kidneys after the meet up
  20. No Crust Racing
    The S15 is tasty! I spoke to him about the S13, standard box, basic brakes, and 30k. I understand it includes spares and a trailer though but 30 seems rich for it TBH. I'll hit him up for a more complete list.
  21. No Crust Racing
    lol no, best option is another S chassis. Did look at 370 for the brakes and box but all the crashed ones are road cars so generally need all the suspension work etc

    Sat down with a good old excel last night and it's clear to me, buying another car is the most cost effective method, regardless of which shell I end up putting the engine in. Ideally I'd put it in my car for the history and all that, but it will just depend on what I come across. So keep your eyes out for something suitable - big brakes, cd009 or z33 box, good diff, wide, 10" rims, and ideally something SR based so I can re-use parts of the hot/cold side maybe? Full cage good if bolt in or the shell is better than mine. In the meantime, I'll press on with the shed, get a hoist in.

    Here it is lol https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3624934074228799/?ref=facebook_story_share
