Are they bringing over equipment/cars etc for 60 cops? Are those cars being driven over ... doubt SA has extra cars for 60 cops not employed by the SA Govt. 60 families missing their partners for 2 weeks. Who's paying them? Vic Govt going to pay 60 cops to work in SA?

I find it hard to believe :)

In any case, I have nothing to worry about.

i cant answer any of those questions as it was a message from a friend who would know better then me.

people going away for 2 weeks and not seeing their families is nothing. mine workers do it all the time, my friend who works on oil rigs goes out for longer, ever heard of the army, navy or air force? they do it for months at a time!

and if your still rolling on 19" rims, you do have something to worry about.

i'll find out as much as i can, just thought that i would warn people as soon as i found out.

i recieved a message along that lines yesterday as well

But i am with ruby on this one as to who is going to pay for these 60 odd law enforcement officers from another state, those 60 officers could be used for something better then trying to go for a defect blitz in Adelaide lol all the imports off the streets haha lets see how many commos they can defect :)

So the gangland shootings in Melbourne are nothing compared to going on a defect blitz here in Adelaide.....come on people who make these stupid calls...those 60 officers could be better used off

doesnt have to be a defect blitz, never said it was?

with the amount of retards driving on the streets being killed 'racing' id say its more likely going to be speed and rbt's rather then most other things if it is true.

do as you want i dont really care. again, was just passing on a message.

Ok the message i got said "defect blitz" so i just assumed :)

To do an engine flush you buy an additive and put it in with your current oil. Let the car idle for about 10 mins, then dump the oil while its still warm. Easy as!

If your going from synth to mineral you have to change your oil filter too. (I do it every service anyway)

If anyone is interested in trying ULX 110 then let me know, the distributor works with me so could probably get discount.....

Do you mean one of the suppliers works with you Penny?.........cause the distributor has a warehouse at Lonsdale.

What's the guys name?

what a coincidence!!! i work in lonsdale too!!!! i sell oil...just not that type..excuse my brain atm....my two week long headcold has increased to headaches and nausea now......fookin hate feeling like crap

i work at motor traders....i sell everything you dont need...and nothing you do...rofl

For some reason i found that funny, so much in fact i just sprayed beer all over my monitor.....na, i didn't, but almost.

    • 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.
