Johno did you realise your crank has been modified? The counterweights have recieved a bit of attention. When balanced it was spot on, the balancer seems to think it was done in Japan as he was suitably impressed with the workmanship and precision. Unsure of what had exactly been done as im getting this info 2nd hand off my machinist. Will speak directly to balancer Monday and find out more info for you.

Bit of an Update, parts have been balanced, bored, ported etc etc..

Paul advised the head recieved a stage 3 port job, crank was perfect and didnt require any attention.. assembly should take another week or so.

Wow, looking good Paul port job looks amazing..

Hope your feeling better to mate,

much rather watching a mill than watching a heart rate monitor.

The port job is top-notch and an absolute bargain considering its $500 more normally for that level of work.

I knew you would like it, photo's barely do it justice.

should the pulley stud on the front of the block be able to be removed? i tried taking it out of mine and got fooking nowhere but left some nice groves on it

Paul, thanks again for all the hard work mate. You've been extremely helpful even with all my silly little questions. Thanks mate really appreciate it.

I cant get over the port job, its bloody impressive!

Will let you know how it all turns out.. I've changed direction with the project. The motor will be going in a GTR as soon as I find the right one.

Cheers

Johno

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
