PWR twin pass radiator, PWR transmission cooler and Blitz return flow intercooler all being ordered. Big thanks to Dan. Won't have my baby back for a few weeks however, but such is life.

Mangs. Mondays are ghey.

Start to the week didn't help. About two hours of sleep, plus I got projectile shat on at around 2am.

Now just grinding the day out till 4pm so I can fark off home and die

For those of you registered on the other site, heres another journey in to insanity.

so i take it the plan is not to sell it now?

Full ninja stealth? I must fail at detecting sarcasm today...

That may be so, but you certainly don't fail in the 'one of a kind radiator' department. 1 x custom built twin pass vertical row unit coming up!

Btw, I talked them down on price on the rad and optioned up a larger size on the cooler so same price but sick as cooling.

You also don't fail in the 'unique destruction of factory parts' department but that's a story for another bed time

Mmmmm.... Frosty cold components! Nicely done mate :) Once it's all back together and working I'll have to give the engine bay a good clean, get all that coolant off.

Here's hoping it takes them a little less time to build, but knowing my luck it will take them extra long because I'm a right special bastard!

Got your email regarding gauges as well, time for me to go hunting to see what I want there and figure out where/how they can be mounted.

I discovered something full of win today: the place I contract through offer free training and certification! I'm getting my Microsoft Certification, CEH, CCNA/P and a bunch of others including LIPC-1 figure it might come in handy one day.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
