mate most happy washes have a tap spout near the little house deal where you get coins???, (for washing out sham's or filling buckets),, or put the soap in after the bucket is full...and stir with hands to make foam..???? another way spray the sprayer into a rag to keep the water in the bucket while filling on high pressure

keeps you from looking like a frothy maniac escaped from glenside..hahaha

Dan should be paying people to clean his car at this rate.... bloody accountants

-D

I just had a worthless mental revelation(sad I know), in the future world leaders would be required to play "SIM CITY" before being placed on the ballot to see if they can run it without going bankrupt or riots in the street in the first ten min..lol

CEO's too

How about: future world leaders should have their lips sewn shut :D

slow day today. Ruby must be busy at work, same as Krishy, and Dan must be on another work field trip :D and scandy, sleeping?

Easy day for the mods, nothing to read :P

The quiet before the storm. Waiting for the mods to be pre-occupied with Clipsal :D

question is, what do you think? if your gonna do it, are you gonna worry more about if SAU likes it, or if you like it?

I do like it, have already got bronze wheels with blue nuts just thought someone might have an even better idea for the caliper colour

+1 blue calipers yes lugnuts no - gets too blingy IMO - unless that is your thing then go ahead.

Alot have said that but I don't think it's bling at all, just think that blue goes well with bronze especially on black car but was thinking there might be a better option for caliper I haven't thought of yet. I was also thinking plain flat black for the caliper....

A little boy walks into his parents' room to see his mum on top of his dad bouncing up and down. The mum sees her son and quickly dismounts, worried about what her son has seen. She dresses quickly and goes to find him.

The son sees his mum and asks, 'What were you and Dad doing?'

The mother replies, 'Well, you know your dad has a big tummy and sometimes I have to get on top of it and help flatten it...'

'Your wasting your time,' said the boy.

'Why is that?' the mom asked puzzled.

'Well when you go shopping the lady next door comes over and gets on her knees and blows it right back up.'

    • 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.
