Knore,

Do you mean EVERYTHING? As in all internal engine work, bolt-ons (turbo, FMIC etc...) & all lines polishing and so on...??? If so I'd take a few months at a rough guess. Sourcing all the parts, getting the time to do the work & then setting everything up can easily blow out to faaar longer though!

If you mean just the appearance stuff, then ~2-3wks.

All the best with it, which ever way you decide to go mate.

Hip,

Naa not finished yet. Still got a few more little things up my sleeve. The fuel lines & Speedflow fittings are yet to be done (see f/hose on inner LHS guard). The polished turbine heat shield is yet to go on. A few more silicon lines, new stainless clamps etc... Polished radiator air guide. New seats will go in early in the new yr too.

The list is endless...... :)

f*ck your cars clean whatsisname!

ohh you missed a spot on the firewall just behind the turbo :)

Doh! LOL :) Nice pick up! That's an area normally obscured by the dump pipe (off ATM being modified) Thanks for pointing it out, I'll give the area a once over :)

Mattress-The car is looking sweet dude.Are you still going to fit the Ricermatic? :D  :)  

           -congrats on the posting aswell.Damn that means i have to put up with Tania for a lot longer! :)  :)  

catch up with ya soon

G'day Matty,

Thanks dude :)

Mate I might go with 3 x Ricermatics, should be good for 15-20rwkw each! :)

Yeah we're stoked on the posting/promotion. More $$$, a nice fat lump sum payment, & best of all 3+yrs more in the defect capital of OZ - Adelaide.

You'll have to put up with Tan & me :D Well you see me & put up with Tan :) hahaha

Cheers mate.

Here's the new pic -

No coolant, just water for the run in phase.

It'll go straight on the dyno, but only for a basic check & a bit of load to help with ring bed in.

It'll be a few wks before any serious dyno work takes place.

I've just put 700 kms on mine - It's sweet as ! Has the best exhaust note eva and power - sheeez - Only running 9 PSI and I reckon it has more power than the old motor running 14 PSI.

Yeah - same re Serious Dyno work !

Hope to hear about your results soon whatsisname.

Cheers,

Joel, I have found they tend they start to feel more responsive, rev easier and pull harder, but I have only run in 2 engines, and it could be a case of wishful thinking.

Then again, I rode my brothers new bike (picked it up), then again in a couple of months and it definately felt alot more responsive.

I hadn't actually Hip! :D

Edit - Ok... you busted me Steve :D

Well I picked the car up yesterday (15Dec) & after 80k’s it already feels soooo good to be driving a Skyline again! The down side is having to do 2000k's of painfully tame running in mileage :)

The engine starts & runs as if it were still stock on the inside (nice & smooth - nil piston slap). It actually feels "more" responsive than I recall, possibly helped by a dump pipe change & lighter reciprocating mass. It also still has plenty of RB25DET off-boost torque, something I’ll be using a lot in the next few 1000k’s.

I might see a few of you in the hills in the coming wks, I’ll be the one driving very sedately: )

    • 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.
