Mark And Duncans R32 Build

[haw001]

As requested........ let me know if you want it, i can possibly ask my mate if he'd fix it too if your interested.

there is no lip

and you can have the spiders too!

That'd be great Angus. If your mate can fix it even better. Happy to sling a few slabs around for the effort. Pretty sure I have a lower lip lying around.

Hey Russ, you had Mahle pistons in your 32 correct??

Yes please, I have someone else who can rubber/plastic weld.

When's a good time and where about's are you. I'm away until Friday.

What can I throw your way for the pleasure of taking it off your hands?

Thanks,

I'm @ Revesby, (bankstown way)

Anytimes good, i'll be here or father will be home

hmmm dont happen to have a spare 6" blond laying around do you?

[haw001]

Angus,

Just had a thought. Going to machine up a couple of allow steering wheel linkages on the weekend, how does one of these sound. You can probably see one on one of Duncan's previous pictures, they replace the standard rubber steel one that links the steering wheel arm to the steering rack.

[Angus Smart]

Ahh for a moar solid steering eh,

sounds good while the motors out perfect

your an ideas man!

The alloy thing you see here:

Are these new turbo water and oil lines. If so, they are a really, really, really good idea. I have had to destroy a standard set on at least 3 occasions because the fittings wouldn't turn on the pipe and it ended up just twisting the pipe up until the metal fatigued and ripped itself apart. A real pain in the ass, not only because they needed to be replaced but because it's a bitch to get your hand and a spanner in there in the first place, then you have to turn hard enough to rip the pipes apart.

What's in the box under the VRS kit?

[Angus Smart]

ahh sweet that would be great

Yeah all the turbo and water return lines there! from hose solutions on ebay all up around 350 aussie delivered

that sounds similar to the way i pull things apart hahaha.

big black box is a nismo full engine gasket kit with a 1.2mm metal gasket too. i had some presents arrive this morning!

[Duncan]

what do you think about the quality of the lines. we need a set too, and these are hard to beat at the price (about 1/2 what pirtek charge for the same) let us know if they fit ok.

[Duncan]

btw no updates this week....waiting for john and gary and brad

[fatz]

where do i buy the oil/ water line kit????

[Angus Smart]

ebay, they are from the uk they look nice.. haha dont think they will be getting fitted for a few months now

http://myworld.ebay.com.au/hose_solutions this guy is the one.

tho they did take some time to arrive i think around a month..

Ask Norm, Mr r32 how they fit.

i can make you custom speedflow lines for around that price.

A question about Sump/Baffle

So i bought the tomei baffle, now i'm thinking why on earth i did this.

i wouldn't mind extending the sump but not making it go any lower like most other extensions, is this possible? and still use the tomei baffle?

[Duncan]

interesting question. we are running the tomei style baffle in this car's motor too (although we got the much cheaper one from Just Jap), and the sump is wider but not deeper. remind me to post some pics next weekend

we normally run the trust (deep) sump, and I had spent years telling people yes they hang low but no you don't damage them. which was true until I smashed mine on a ripple strip at oran park earlier this year and cracked it in 3 places.

still, I've had it welded up and am going to put it back on - I like the deep design to keep oil near the pickup

Yes it is possible to still run the Tomei baffle with a sump extension.

Why would you want a 6 inch blond when there are so many nicer 6 foot ones?

Who does the braided clutch lines? and what is the benefit of fitting? Thanks
