Well my rebuild budget just blew out AGAIN.

Paid for the head today, was expecting it to come to around $600. The bill come too $1070.

This is on-top of the $240 for parts i supplied and $650 for the cams.

Original budget was around $2780

I'm at $4350 and i haven't even assembled it yet. you could add another 3-400 for incidentals on top of that as well.

Mega keen!

Skyline is still broken from the SAU grip day so drift is all i have these days. I hate not being able to drive it :D

yeah i thought there would be at least 4 from here which is cool.

ill keep the list with me and get it moving as soon as i can get my rosters sorted out.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY R32 GTST ROLLING SHELLS THAT CAN BE REGO'D THAT I CAN BUY?

We have talked about an SAU:SA drift day, but there are only 6 or so drifters on SAU, so around 20 people short for a private day. But apart from that, nearly all of them won't even pony up the whole $30 per annum to support the club, so it is pretty much off the table of events ....

If you offered something for drifters then we'd most likely join up.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
