  2. i've got an RB26DETT from a 94 gtr, eagle forged rods, CP forged pistons, adjustable cam gear's, siemens 660cc injector's, garret 2860-5 turbo's, apexia power FC tuned for 320 AWKW at 17.5psi, KSP 2.75ich dumps to 3 inch colector and 3.5 inch cat back as well 13k km since the biuld with recepits for most of the work and parts, if your intersted make me an offer
  3. in a few weeks time (if i can scrounge up some cash) i may be interested, will PM you once i get the cash and let you know.
  4. victoria mate, latrobe valley to be exact, victoria's power and gas hub.
  5. if that's the case then tell whoever machines the bloody things we only want 1mm landing on the flanges, grinding to back is a pain in the ass
  6. dead on just an oxy with a swivel head for the bevel and the chain and gear arrangement to keep in traveling around the pipe, worth around 2k it's amazing how much some of these thing's cost
  7. hey fella's, basicly i'm a boilermaker by trade, have worked on quite a few high profile jobs, the new docklands ferris wheel is one, repairs on the MCG retractable roof, desalination plant and working in power station boilers, after abit of interested in what i do in the wasteland i thought i might post up a few pic's on what i'm doing at the moment. basicly i'm "spooling" and welding pipe for ESSO, an offshore gas company with 20 odd rig's in the bass strait, the pipe's on these rig's are replaced every 10 year's for safety reasons, so we're making up some new pipe, we welding with TIG for the smaller stuff under 120mm nominal bore (inside diameter of the pipe) and under 8mm wall thickness, anything bigger and we use a special MIG machine made by lincoln weld called an STT (surface tension transfer), basically it pulses the amperage from a lower background setting, to a high peak, the idea being to be able to weld faster then with a stick welder (which is the old hat way of welding big pipe) but with much lower heat input then a MIG as well as almost zero spatter, excesive heat input will cook the aditive's out of the steel making it brittle and prone to cracking, so weld procedure's are strictly adhered to. these baby's are worth 14k each without a wire feed unit and another 3k per wire feed this is an STT weld on the 300mm pipe, the weld's on the 80mm branch are done with TIG this is the machine we use for TIG, they made by fronius and are worth around 9k each, they do standard and pulse MIG (they pulse from full power to nothing, unlike the STT which pulses from full power to background power, so these are no good for the pipe weld's) TIG welding and stick, and you need to be able to fly an F16 fighter jet to set them up, over 100 separably adjustable parameter's this is a spool we knocked up in about 8 hours (tacking, not welding), this one bolt's to the header of a compressor, the upright section's with the flanges are 200mm nominal bore pipe with a 12.7mm wall, these are not allowed to be drifted into place when being installed due to vibration issue which can damage the 5 million dollar compressor, so the tolerance once welded has to be spot on, each weld shrink's around 2-2.5mm when welded depending on the root gap which has to be taken into account during fabrication, the section at the front with 6 weld's will shrink 14mm after welding, talking about those flanges, the clamping face is 110mm thick 1.25% cro-mo steel, each flange has 20 38mm high tensile bolts tightened to 1200 NM each, clamping force is 16 tones per join. this is what we use to cut the pipe to length and bevel then at the same time, the procedure for this job is a 25 degree bevel on each side of the weld a few completed spool ready to weld as the pipe's need to hold 1700 PSI of pressure, and the content's is natural gas making it incredibly dangerous if a weld fails while the gas rig is in operation each weld is gammer ray tested and X ray tested to detect imperfection's in the weld metal such as porosity, inclusions and lack of fusion, each test cost's around $1000, we weld these on a "butt rate" which means we get paid per weld, with any repair's getting completed in our own time and we cover the cost of the extra gammer and x ray, we get $120 per weld, and a good welder can do a weld in 35 minutes, good welder's get in 15 a day
  8. hey mate, i've got an R32 GTR shell, doesn't have front bar, front guards, bonnet, boot or steering wheel, wheel's are yokohama ADVAN RS 18x10 15mm offset, these will be extra, PM me if your interested.
  9. not exactly what your after, but i have a set of yokohama advan RS 18x10 (all 4) in gold, 15mm offset for sale.
  10. hey all, i'm currently parting out an R32 GTR as it's not worth getting the rest of the car up to the spec of the engine for a track car, i'm considering buying an R32 GTS and transplanting my engine, gearbox and 4wd system into the GTS and am wondering if this has even been done before? i did a search and didn't find a whole lot of info about it, basically i have an engine and drive line capable of 450+ kw at the wheels, but the car i have to put it in isn't up to scratch, wasn't in anywhere near the condition i thought it would be, found a few things that are fine for a street car, but can't be overlooked on the track. only looking for a track car setup, so if anything need to be modified it isn't a great big problem, just poking the feeler's out, or would i be better off trying to find a hail damaged repairable write off (or something similar) GTR to put my drive line into?
  11. engines from a 94 R32 GTR, still in car ATM (in the process of parting it out but need to buy a hoist to remove engine a box) after 9.5k complete or 7.5k as long motor, well under build cost of the engine, located in traralgon, vic 3844, about 2 hours east of melb. if i can't get the receipts restored your welcome to remove the head and sump to verify it has the part's i've said it has.
  12. i've got a built RB26DETT, forged rods and pistons, 2860-5 turbo's, siemen's 660cc injectors, adjustable cam gear's, new waterpump, 13'000 km since build only running 17.5psi, very well maintained, PM me if your intersted, recepits for all work if i can get them restored at the photo place in town as they're fairly faded. i'm willing to sell with or without turbo's, exhaust manifold, intake plenum and alternator.
