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

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • 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.
