I'll see how I go, Haven't touched the sump yet, it still needs a fitting welded into it for the oil drain but I have to clean the thing first, its a mess and full of sludge etc.

Have to work out whats happening with the Intake cam. I have one cam cap that stops the cam from turning, another one is a little tight but the cam still spins, other then that it spins beautifully. Exhaust cam is fine, so not sure how 1 out of 14 cam caps is so bad. Not sure what I'm going to do about it yet

It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Just talked to the guy I got the head off, said the cam caps might have got mixed up which would explain why I have 2 that are tight, look offset towards the intake side a little, so hopefully he can find the othes otherwise the caps will have to get skimmed and line bored

I'm about 90% sure that they are stamped with numbers so it shouldn't be too hard to get the right ones.

It really sucks that they were mixed up though, that's a big no-no, makes the head neary useless without expensive machining.

Oh yeah, they are all stamped with their position. But I4 and I2 are tight and the guy I bougth them off had two engines/heads apart at the same time so hopefully they just got mixed up from 1 head to the other and he can find them, will be the easiest and cheapest fix.

These things happen but, I suppose when the time comes I'll have to see whats cheaper - a new head or line boring mine

Got some Nissan bits today, nothing to exciting but necessary all the same.

Had a play with some wrinkle paint today:

Think I'll go with this on the intake manifold, but think I'll just keep the cam covers a flat paint job.

Where did you get the wrinkle paint from, Callan? I gotta paint my plenium and covers too. Any variaty of colours?

I got black wrinkle paint from repco (auto barn was sold out of black and only had red) these are the only two colours I saw. I just did the wrinkle black and then painted silver engine enamel over the top. Hopefully the Plenum will look like a genuine Greddy when I'm done

Why Hello:

Things seem to be coming together all of a sudden, instead of one problem after another lol. Going to work out the compression ratio in the next few days. Going to be alot of screwing around to work it out but I guess you get that :)

Ordered my Hypergear turbo today, looks like it will shoot over 300rwkw on 98 and 350rwkw on E85 (when that gets here) but its a pretty experimental turbo at the moment so just have to wait and see. But I think I'll be less disapointed then i was with the HKS Turbo I'll put it that way :)

Can never be to sure :P

someone told me before I bought the 6boost that It should only cost 850ish but I had to pay more, so was wondering if I was just looking in the wrong places

6Boost have never been under $1000 to my knowledge

Has anyone else seen that grey GT-R getting around? I've seen it twice now, 1 time just north of the Forgan bridge then the other at night on Slade pt road.. I have a feeling it lives at Sladey. My god it's sexy.

I'd be after a lowmount for a rb25det but need to save some pennies first...

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
