lol. my mate came around with his commodore ute tonight all pumped up about the new vx engine in it, went for a drive and it just has nothing on the skyline! anyway, later we went to get a feed and took my car, gave it a bit and he just turns to me and say "**** i wish my ute went like yours and justins cars!". lol

hahaha.. yeah, gold..

like when u see at the strip all these guys with their newish XR8's, HSV and all of this and exhausts and powerchips and everything else - $$$ ..and still they get low 14's to high 13's at best.

Best to replace the timing belt, I had to replace mine 10000k after I changed it for the 100000k service after the crank case seal let go spraying oil everywhere and on the belt. Gavin said it was best to change it again and I kinda agree.

sh*t that would suck!

..probably a cheap R32.. in auto.. then throw all the drivetrain ..

and get an RB30DET built.. nice bottom end first with forged pistons.. then maybe some minor head work to the RB25 head.. then bolt together hopefully myself and into the car, again, hopefully myself. stick at the back of that an RB25DET gearbox and twin plate i guess. Yes - big asks ! :) If not, somebody else can do the assembly/fitting but i'd prefer to save as much as possible.

hopefully have one of the fastest RWD out there (in QLD anyhow)

sh*t that would suck!

Yeah, scared the crap outer me when I first saw the big oil slick under the car, quickly identified it though as the Gemini has done a similar thing just not quite as spectacular. Gavin was quite impressed by the amount of oil completly covering the underside of the car, and the oil stink from the oil burning on the exhaust.

.. next time i've been thinking a bit more of going more as to what i can afford as i get the cash.. so piece by piece on a fairly cheap car to start.

Rather than having the expensive car to start with and then having to pay for mods ontop of that (what i've found with the 33)

sr20.. yeah.. could be done :)

not a huge fan of the 4's though.. don't like an engine screaming its head off for the power..

hence the rb30det .. and no wanting an rb20det at any cost (revs too high to get power, snap/snap on and off)

anyhow, this work i'm doing in the background is shitting me right up the wall.. better iron out the bugs coz i wanna sleep now :)

    • 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
