  1. To anyone who has used speedy sleeves, do you get a burr when you remove the tear away part?
  2. So what would the fit be callled? I was a bit worried about how I was going to get the front crankshaft sleeve on, ended up using the cam belt gear thingy.
  3. I just did this to the RB30 in my R31. Did the front and rear crankshaft seals and the camshaft seal. No more leaks hooray. Squeaky clean engine bay. Around 4 thou thick. I didn't use loctite as they are such a high interference fit. To be on the safe side you can loctite them, maybe some gasket goo. now you have me worried.
  4. Was just about to ask how you managed to contain the mess. But noticed you had tents up with plastic sheeting, go the home booth. Did you use any ventilation when spraying to extract the paint floating in the air or was the tent open at the ends? What gun did you use?
  5. Who built it and do you have receipts for all of the work? How many km's has it done?
  6. The only thing that might get damaged noticeably is the shocks.
  7. sounds like my sister, drives 30km's to work with an overheating engine and somehow doesn't notice it. That was one roasted engine. I have never seen an engine that was that easy to turn over by hand even with the plugs in.
  8. Ahh yes, I remember my first time removing a well attached harmonic balancer good times good times.
  9. What loctite was it? Probably best to contact Loctite directly.
  10. Those Falken's do smoke quite well
  11. By putting a restrictor in the cooling system to keep the water in the radiator for longer, won't that keep the hot water in the engine for longer?
  12. For a complete reco for the diff in my R31 skyline (bearings, seals, crownwheel and pinion) and removal and fitting was it was $950. I am kicking myself for not doing it. It is actually quite a easy job to reco a diff if you have a basic knowledge of tools. The only special tool you need is a dial indicator to do the back lash and a oxy torch to heat the crownwheel up to put it on the diff centre. You will also need a torque wrench to test the limited slip diff. You will also need to mesh the diff properly, that info can be found in those gregories car manuals or on the internet.
  13. looks like it was meant to be there.
  14. Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to use the dash display that shows boost pressure, oil temps, injector percentages etc etc in another car? Do they rely on the standard R34 gtr ecu or are they a standalone device that could be connected up to another car? Any idea how much one might cost secondhand to play with and who would have one?
  15. Was that a T intersection? edit: I guess not. How fast were they travelling when they hit you?
  16. what are they from?
  17. any idea why it started leaking?
  18. What do you want to know? clearances for the bearings, valve guides etc etc? A step by step guide?
  19. This was from the autospeed site "We have seen conflicting literature on the matter but our testing leads us to believe that a black painted intercooler performs better than a bare one."
  20. how long has this guy been running 450KW for on stock internals?
  21. It has been done and its not a stupid idea.
  22. or get another centre muffler
  23. As the topic says I am after a R32 gtr. Any year model, any colour and preferably complied. More specifically I am after something with a dead engine (low compression, spun bearing, blown turbo, no engine etc etc) to build up as a track car. The closer to stock the better, might consider modified cars depending on condition of the parts. PM if you have one to sell The amount I am willing to spend depends on the condition of the car Based in Sydney but I can travel to check out cars. Josh Kemp
  24. NateR31, how far were you into the intersection? Do they have much proof (debris on the road) that you were into the intersection or had moved out in front of her? Here is some help. To calculate the speed at which a car will roll over. (simple calculation with basic info taken into consideration). You can use this as part to show if she was speeding. Also, was the intersection flat/off-camber/bumps? Was it a large radius she was turning? It will take more speed to roll a car around a large radius, but bumps and an off camber road will increase the chance of it happening. velocity of vehicle(km/h) at which it will tip = 3.6 x (SR of (w x g x r )/(2 x h)) 3.6 converts metres per second to km/h SR = Square root w = weight of vehicle g = gravitational acceleration 9.81m/s r = radius the car was taking h = height of centre of gravity from the ground (hard to tell, probably 1/2 of the height (or more) of the cars height in the case of a CRV but its safer to calculate it at 1/3 of the vehicle height, maybe Honda can help) REMEMBER this is an approximation, but it might show she was driving over the speed limit. The more accurate you can get the CoG and the radius she was turning, the more accurate your answer will be. If anyone wants to tell me if I am wrong, go for it, just what I have learnt from dynamics at TAFE and don't wan't so see someone get screwed over because he drives a skyline and the stupid bitch can't keep her eyes on the road. (end rant, works been crap lately)
  25. He is trying to acheive an answer to a question LOL
