Yeah Ash. That's mine.

She's likely to be there for a little while longer too - niggling issues to sort out, waiting on a few parts and lots of changes to be made. I'm hoping it'll be 100% completed well in advance of Autosalon.

Have you already entered autosallon?

Just wondering if its worth getting a club display togeather, there are a few cars around that are worthy of showing even if they wouldnt be in contention for "best in show".

I would be interested if it isnt already too late, I know than many of last years enterants wernt all that good, and many of our cars are a lot better.

No, I haven't entered yet mate.

The Adelaide round of Autosalon (R5) is on 12-13 Aug' this year. A basic entry (no power and no dyno comp') is $70. Entry can be done online here: http://www.autosalon.org/index2.html?events

I'm keen to enter as part of a SAU group/club. We've talked about it before and this time I'm in all the way - if we get the numbers. I also need to have the car completed and ready to go in time!

phew, just checked my diary and I get back from skiing in NZ the weekend before - was worried there for a minute!

I am keen to put the R34 in, if you guys feel she is up to spec :mellow: .... got more mods to do before then too.

Thats a great idea Andrew, not many people have seen an R34 with the 4x4 Offroad suspension pack :mellow:

I think I'll start a new thread and see who else is interested. Even if the 3 of us are the only definites its probably worth it.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
