Dave if you need a hand putting the turbo back on give me a yell and I will come help too. If you can give me a day or 2 notice I can book my work around it.

FYI those water lines are an absolute bitch to get back on - the inside one particularly. Fun, fun, fun.

Mmmmmmmmmmm titanium .... I bet the retail on that bad boy is well the wrong side of $5k

cheers dude, shall let you know. im fairly sure the work shall be getting done on tuesday arvo.

yeah, water lines were the biggest pains in my ass... gonna get dad to see if he can find some suitable banjos, an fittings, and braided lines at work to replace them.

gah! forgot this was coming.

1337, scandyflick invaded your box. lul.

Just bought a fighter fish for my desk at work. Good times. His name is Bruce.

you can keep your lump of cast iron. :D

yeah, its been uh... interesting. ha. yeah, could use a bit of help putting it all back together. i shall provide beer for afterwards.

(and let you drive it of course)

thats why i come too he can drink and i can drive :(

hey heslo just thought u should know thats a pretty sexy GTR u got there, haha

need to catch up for that turbo pipe or somehow get it to Adrian if he still needs it if not no rush one day

Hello fellow Skyline owners. Need a bit of advice if possible.

Have found an r33 im looking into purchasing and am having an inspection done on monday. Just went through the ezy reg website to check the car was clear of finance and not written off etc. The person selling it says there is 106 k's on the odometer and when i got the reply back through ezy reg, it showed an odometer result of 186k's. Would ezy reg's reading be more accurate the guy selling the car? Should i go through with the inspection or just pass this one up and wait for the next?

Thanks in advance guys, really appreciate your help!!

:D

how did you check thorugh the ezy reg website did you have a vin number or somthing

Yeah i asked the seller for the,

plate number

engine number

and vin

Ezy reg charged $9 for the finance fee

and $15 for the damage write off check

have it thoroughly checked out. afr's, compression, leak down, and all the obvious stuff like previous crash damage, basically have whoever's doing it go over it with a fine tooth comb, if its healthy and drives right, the mileage shouldnt really matter, but if it doesnt feel right to you, walk.

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
