Oh don't worry! I'm hatching a plan!

What, are you going to borrow the Option 1 S14 :starwars:

If a certain person was not involved in this event I would have entered but a 60 will not be good enough to win so meh.........

Exactly, should be a great day! I haven't seen an entry list.

Berry's gonna bring the 32 so that'll be fantastic.

No doubt there'll be plenty of stuff to ogle at in the car show too.

I gotta get someone to drive to 34 out to display.

Get on board Ben.

I'm out.

There was 1 thing that I was not happy with when i was building the enigine, the rings just didn't quite sit right. They were a set by JE as ACL couldn't supply any rings for them. I have done 10,000 km on the new motor running 12-14 psi and have pulled it down as part of a diagnostic process. I wanted to see how the rings were doing in particular.

The bearings, bore, buckets, cams etc are perfect, the rings though, "Not, Happy, Jan! uneven ware.

I have done some homework over the last month, ACL changed the ring specs part way through the production run. So, there are 2 different ring sets for 1 pistion part number. You can't buy a ring set for the earlier spec pistions, I have the early spec pistions. I'm pretty sure they were made by ROSS in the US for ACL. Ross can supply a set of rings for us, will just take a while.

Unfortunately I won't be compeeting, but I will be watching and snapping shots.

bugger :) will you have it together for the QLD Champs at Morgan Park?

I'm looking forward to both these events. Diff's coming out tomorrow - tired of the open wheeling viscous diff so I'm planning to weld it up. Would love to get hold of a wing too, but I think I've left it a bit late.

ended up shimming the V-LSD instead. Mainly so that its still nice to drive on the road. Hopefully it works OK on the track for a while too. Should be a few tenths in that if it eliminates some wheelspin. Cost next to nothing thanks to Paul at Option 1 Garage, so I figured its worth a try. Plus it maintains my 'full street trim' excuse >_<

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
