New radiator in. I accidently ordered the 42mm radiator instead of a 52mm. However its seemed to have worked out so far and ive even been able to keep the fan shroud in there nicely

there is room for more shelves Scottie........dooooooo eeeeettt

Radiator is sweet. Keep cooling fan shroud as it helps keep things........well cool

Its a spare one i have lying around.. Ive got one on the car. May install a dual system if needed down the line
ok good.

Additional oil coolers will certainly help ie diff / transmission cooler etc...

Went for a few short drives today to test out the new radiator and make sure it was working fine. First lap ended up in ditching the car in favour of walking to get more coolant. But after i topped it up it has been fine since.

Also these arrived today

Fark those tyres must have cost a penny or two... I considered buying a pair of 16" wheels once, just to get away with paying for a smaller tyre. So many golds.

$355 each! Was only going to save about $10-$15 each if i went to a smaller rim. As i already had a pair of 17's at home I thought this is the cheapest option for now and would be a good indicator of where the traction is at and if I need to go smaller

Even with the 255/60/15 version of those I'm still baking 3rd lol

Wow! Thats interesting as thats a pretty big side wall. Hopefully these work out a lot better for me. I might give them a few KM of street driving and testing before Powerplay on May 10th.

The thing i like about the 17's is they arent so in your face as a 255/60/15 if you know what I mean? I like to keep a good street look about it and not have 15" steelies on the rear with big ass tread. But for track work I guess it could be alright.

Tune day confirmed tomorrow at 10am! Was going to drive the car down to the Gold Coast for it, however with it being Easter holidays and increased police presence I thinking trailer might be the better option. Cant afford the double fine and double points lol

    • 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
