:)  :huh:  Holy crap that is awesome!!! Cant wait to see the Dyno sheet and quarter mile time :P

cheers mate all in good time, no comment on when it will be running because i get told i take too long if i go past the expected date :lol:

Very nice!!

Just outta interest .... did you do the polishing or did you get it done somewhere else??

my old man polished it at home in the shed with a bench grinder and buffing wheels and lots of patience haha, heres a pic with all the covers on etc except they are abit dirty and need a rebuff before i put the motor back in the car :blink:

Ahhhh .. l see. By the looks of the pics he's done a very nice job.

Any chance you could get him or if you could type up something on how to do it. I have another car with a shit load of stuff that needs doing, and would love to do it myself and see how it goes before l palm it off to a workshop. Seeing your's has given me a few idea's on more stuff l could polish instead of painting.

Love the fuel rail too BTW!! :mellow:

Cheers,

Have any of you actually spoken to jake32 in person....? I have and I am not condoning or taking anyone's sides, but this is a public forum so everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion.

I have to say though that although jake32 might seem like an atagonist, he really is a nice bloke to chat with, I just cant see why everyone is getting so bloody defensive, get over it.

Back on topic................. I need more tissues after looking at that shiny thingy again... :P

Unfortunately for me part of the deal to convince the Minister for finance that the S2 was a good buy after the demise of the Cressida was that, if I bought a fast car I wouldnt spend any extra making it go faster.

I think she knew I was lying..but still, the 3inch cat back and the boost controller and the boost gauge were all free so technically I'm in the clear.

Anyhow the point of all this is that there is probably not much chance of me ever seeing innards of my RB25 let alone a massive T4 snail hanging off the side, so if you could post up more photos inside and out that would be smashing.

I've used up all the tissues, bring me a bucket for the drool.

P.S. And dont forget to get wide angle shots of the crap lying around your shed in the background...I love a good squizz at other peoples sheds.

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
