Would LOVE to come Luke but I just don't think the car will be finished by then (I'm so sick of waiting!) Just curious, did you organise this off your own back?

what u having done Luke??

Edited by ovrtym33

How much is it Luke? My car most certainly isn't up to spec, but might take her out for a bit of fun.

I take it you will have separate track time for drifters and grippers?

Would we be allowed to take advantage of the burnout pad in the middle if we needed to let some smoke out of our tyres? My tyres always come with way too much smoke in them.

lol andrew, that shouldnt be a problem, is wat its there for :(

cost is $300 each plus you need a Cams licence, day licence available for $25 on the day. And yes separate sessions for grip and drift.

and yes luke, organised completely off my own back.

:( Andrew you are awesome :D

Dan, getting the turbos, clutch, computer, injectors, AFM's, fuel pump, etc all put in. All standard parts of course

nice, it will be a rocket by the time u get it back

who is doing the work on it?????????

UGHHHHHHH!!!

REALLY want to come <angry face />

when do you need payments by ?

REALLY want to take my car out on the track without having to worry about 100,000 other cars being around.

as stated in first post ASAP, as i am currently near 4k in the hole. I have limited it to 15 people, so far i have about 8 i think confirmed so as soon as spots fill thats it. Only 1 has paid though so far, so money talks.

Yeah Dan, should be sweet, doing a lot of the work myself, turbos however I'm getting Andrew (Blue32) to help fit for me :(

Luke, best of luck mate, mind if I ask a few of my mates to see if they are keen?

at his place???

apparently he lives around the corner from me and adrian in alberton

2 more days of work ... then a week off for World Superbikes at Phillip Island ;)

Leaving with a couple of mates on Wednesday night ... woohoo!!!!!!

Taking the Brutale and lots of booze over :blink:

Also damo isn't one of them cracked??

If that's the case then they are worth even less.

I think crack is all fixed up now, replaced with new one that is also white so it's all good.

I think anyway ;)

Yep its fixed, well replaced, they refused to fix the crack so i bought another rim and had it colour matched.

yeah, he's replaced the cracked one

i sold my black doriteks late last year with no tyres. pair 8s and 2 pair 9s for 1000 cash (as i needed the cash to get rid of them)

Decent sale price. I guess patience is a virtue, Craig's mate Adam might be keen so well see what happens.

found this info on the Mines R35 GTR from a USA performance car web site.

    • 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.
