killler setup i hope it works out, im sure it will with the guys your working with. I would swap out the 38mm gate though for something a bit bigger it is marginal at best with a 3037.

You wanna see it!?

Ive been walk drifting around my house and making screamer pipe noises! Haha

Paul broke 2 bones in his foot,then got sick and the machinest wife had a baby.Boy did pick a good month to get a motor built.

blocks been acid tanked, crack tested, decked, bored and honed. Crank collar was machined on today and journals polished. Head has been stripped late this afternoon.

im planning on doing the same thing in the near future, can you give me an estimate on what the block work will cost me?

so far all i have on the list is:

forged pistons

upgraded rods, unsure of which ones

N1 oil and water pump.

thats purely internals, dont know what im doing with the head yet, just trying to figure out what i want and what its going to cost.

Head was done on friday. Full head service,new Tomei cams and Tomei valves springs put in.

Everythings nice and pretty so ive been told.

JUN collar fitted to crank.Crank,rods and pistons were sent away to be balanced.Should be back by the end of the week for assembly.

Home stretch!! :(

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
