Never truer words spoken Adrian. no.7 is a pet hate of mine. Despite what paul say's,

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "BOLT ON' MODIFICATION.

:(

bullshit...buy big $$ brand name jappo gear like i do and you will never have a problem. My last 3 turbo kits have all been HKS and have had every nut bolt washer and bracket to install. No extra engineering required and were bolted on with my trusty 10-12mm Honda Mower offset ring spanner. That spanner has just about rebuilt my whole car!

Relied on an aussie to supply one piece of pipe in the latest build and could have walked to Trust HQ in Japan and back ive waited that long for it. Sometimes the expensive option is always the best as it saves time and headaches.

GO GO GADGET......MOWER SPANNER. :(

GO GO GADGET......MOWER SPANNER. :(

my mate who helps me with the car lost it once....i was livid...lucky for him it showed up (sitting on top of the front subframe)

i always clean it after every job and it has a special place in the top of my tool chest. :(

I need crew for tomorrow night. Who's keen and good with a spanner/wheel brace?

Mower spanner experience preferred but not essential.

spanner just came out of the parts washer and is ready for action...what time?

i agree that a good quality kit is much less of a headache to fit, but some cars are shit to work on regardless. i replaced a set of low mounts on a 33 gtr last week. used some manifolds with a balance pipe on top so had to fabricate water feeds, also fabricated oil feeds as the hard pipes are a mongrel. after 2 days of f@%KING AROUND I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY WIFE I DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE. im closing the shop at the end of december. from know on i am only working on nissans with chevs in them. you can all jam your 300s, gtrs, gtirs etc. funny that nissan build the best sports cars but also the worst to work on. i now agree with he mentality of other shops to charge like wounded bulls to work on these heaps of sh$t. charging fairly never got me anyware. the day of the modified street car is dead as most shops cant be f@cked and people wont pay the money the job is worth, unless your from sydney where it seems you can charge anything and people pay. plus cops are sending everybody to EPA testing. looks like dedicated track cars are the go and people will be doing there own work. thats my rant and before you ask, yes i have had a few beers.

Lets just hope the predicted thunderstorms and rain are finish by morning so the track is dry (plenty of thunder and light rain atm). If not drinkies at benm's till the early hours.

It wont run a 10 tonight PaulyD. It's only on its PULP tune and no boost. This is just to sort out any gremlins. Would rather do that at 120mph than 140mph.

Stu - 9:34 and you're peaking. LOL!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
