Hmmm - I think I'll struggle to make 6:00pm - but can try. 1st movies starts at 7:30 right - so yeah, 6:30 would be the absolute latest.

I've not been to the drive for like 20 years (last time was to watch Star Wars when it forst came out - that was tops)

Do the movies start right on 7:30 sharp ???

WHat route do you suggest, in case people can try to catch up along the way ??

Carlo - BK TH is actually still there, physically, but it has closed down.

Eeewww... Just thought that my battery wont be able to handle 4 odd hours of stereo time without the engine going...

Do they still have the speaker things you put in your window instead of tuning your radio into sound? You know, like the one that flips the Flintstone-mobile in the start of the cartoon? :)

KNAT - I was thinking they should have a set of jumper leads coming out of the side, instead of the standard speaker...

Or more realistically, a trickle charger cord you can plug into your cig. lighter to give you more time...

Anyone know a safe way to pull off the rear-vision mirror and/or bracket ? hehe

rahahahaha

/end evil laugh

I've got the best rice in store, the prize will be mine :(

See you guys for the first movie....Dan do we need to tell them we are from SAU at the gate?

BTW, top sig toulia, I just got another mortgage, and I reakon you're right, they would notice if i died :(

Yeah Duncan,

I think that it would be the way to do it, I don't think they would care if you said "I'm from the WRX club!"

To tell you the truth though I think that carlo might be better at answering this one.

So, the list above, is that list based on the assumption that each individual person listed is coming in a seperate car?

If one on that list decides to get a lift with someone else instead of driving, is that a problem as far as the movie people are concerned?

    • 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.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
