Hello,

Thought I would make my first post a Hello post (for once).

I used to have a Nissan skyline RB30E which was a hand me down from the old man, then I moved on to a CA pwoered Nissan 180sx, then broke the rules and went for a 1JZ Toyota Soarer, but now I have come back to the good side and re-joined with a Nissan R32 GTR.

I spend most of my time trying to work out how to improve performance and just enjoy my cars, but now I am trying to keep things reliable.

I am fairly technical and mechanically minded, so I hope to be able to help out in here where I can, and offer some sound advice, but I dare say I will be using advice from many others until I get up to speed on the GTR's workings :thumbsup:

Anyways, Off to go read up on my info :)

Brian.

      I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
