dad decided to 'check the coolant level' for me before i left for vili's, didnt put the rad cap back on properly, and with the temp gauge reading between 1/2 and 3/4 as normal, i didnt realise the temp increase, got to the nissan dealer just before north adelaide, and smoke and steam started pouring out of the bonnet, and the engine died. cracked head me thinks.

ohh thats some really bad news dave

i dont think that you would be able to crack a head just by leaving the rad cap off

try putting coolant in the rad and start her up and see if there is if the coolant changes colour etc

if it goes murky then you got a head problem

Excellent idea of starting this thread Krishy! Makes it a lot easier for some of us to sort out buying and picking up stuff.

Also for filling out entry forms for shows. Maybe make it a weekly thread and see if Pete remove it say on a tuesday or wednesday?

well the whole idea of this thread was to see who was really heading out last friday night

i am more then happy for the mods to make this the weekend/friday night thread

and i agree with your suggestions as well james....make a thread friday and its deleted by monday/tuesday

that way its all in the one thread and you dont have to go through another 5 threads and make 10 posts to find out whats happening

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
