yes this is my final post from o/s however i just wanted to let you guys know what i stumbled across today by total accident. the nismo international headquatres/ tuning house.

it was so ****ing cool, things were so cheap there anyone that buys any nismo product in australia is being ripped off. i managed to buy a few things :D there were so many gtrs around that place it wasnt funny. they sold everything there, i spent 28000 yen there. oh you know the nismo keys that are for sale around the place for i think 100 dollars or something they cost me about 18 dollars australian. stickers were so cheap also, also little nismo badges for the car where cheap, nismo oil caps, fuel filler caps, radiator caps all cheap. gear knobs cheap, cigarette lighters cheap. its a pitty i didnt have more money and space as they had a few nice dash clusters!!!!!!

oh and another rad thing about the place is they had a workshop there where you could watch out the window. i had a galnce and there was an r32 gtr, r33 gtr and before i was about to leave what did i hear i wasnt sure so i turned around and the nicest r34 gtr i have ever seen was driven in. I was like whoaa and the lady who i was trying to talk with was like whoa as wel, a customers car, nice car ,nice...... it was an awesome place.

for anyone that is going to tokyo get of at shimbaya(spelling) station and go and check this place out, have plenty of cash ready also. oh i took many photos of this place including all the cars, so i will post them up when i get back....

^peace

I was like that with all the cheap car stuff in taiwan!

But u can only bring in a certain amount of stuff like that otherwise customs rape u and make u pay import tax on the stuff!

I sent most of the stuff i bough overseas, clothes comp stuff etc through DHL and u gotta declare stuff with them to.

      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.
