He's been in the industry for years. Use to have a workshop behind pedders at salisbury. Always had a really good name in the drag racing circles. Top bloke to deal with :D

His number is 08 8391 6125, mobile is 0437 919 762. pretty sure his workshop is in Mt Barker. If not his email is [email protected] Good luck with your build mate :(

sweet as got in contact with darren through email and asked him to give me a call

he did like straight away, gave me full confidence that he will be perfect to build my engine

new everything that he was talking about and gave a great price.

also just bought a 3582r with a 1.06 rear

will start a topic soon to keep u all updated with the 26/30 build..................................

p.s. thanks to all for recomending him cant believe i went past him

you get a forged 25/30 from them for the same price as a standard internal RIPS one... i will be looking into it when my motor gets tired

Same. I got a chance to pick darrens brain at the DA round in tassie in 07'

he put up with me for over a hour ha.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
