pete,

if you wanna cover the cost of 2 missed weekends (the best paying shifts of the week) so that i can come along on this awesome road trip (which i was embarking on straight after a 10 hour shift) i would be more than happy to do so.

much love,

dave.

so the 2 for 1 tuesdays at the "house of pleasure" still dont pay as much as your weekend regulars?

I thought for sure that was a great idea. LOL

lol, those tuesday tightarses? they barely have enough money to make a phone call.

tight arses, I was told i would have to pay extra for them :):):worship:

ill give you a discount sweet cheeks. :O

I thought the 2 for 1 was a winner for sure (except for the mother daughter combination)

you serious? mother daughter is the best combo ever...

... well, second to sister sister.

That turbo you have there Abe is not a XR6T rear, as they have 'Ford' Stamped on them, not garret.

I was talking about the flange pattern, not the actual rear housing.

I emailed HPIAB today about some prices on some items. Haven't received a reply yet, could anyone tell me a good place to get copper washers from for braided lines, and a turbo manifold spacer. I am thinking ATS, maybe?

I went with the slightly bigger rear housing as that was what about 75% of people are recommending in the Forced Induction thread, and also a few tuners i have spoken to. As it is also going in my daily, it gets driven to and from work, so the speed limit is 60-100kmph, so i saw no point in having a turbo that spools too early. But if my engine dies, it has given me some head room for when i rebuild the RB25.

Shame i wasn't online to see your photoshop Andrew, serves me right to attempt doing my tax via etax.

On the topic of dished chromies..how about these bad boys?

twink... no. those will look awesome on an old mustang, goat, charger, or anything similar... but an import...?

amazing how quickly the level of conversation drops on here LOL

lol. throw some flange and rear housings into the mix and watch the boys go crazy...

... mmmmm... flange.

Some pics of new acquisitions for my new toy.

Plus a CF intake tube yet to arrive. Plus LEDs for all internal lights, parkers and number plate lights. Plus lots and lots of little bits and pieces.

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
