good luck Duncan. Im still waiting on mine since ringlands broke back in early April. Should be ready for run-in any day now.

New forged 87mm CP pistons, complete block overhaul to suit, check of head (previously ported, with tomei cams/springs) etc.

Looking forward to being mobile again :) Its been a while

Nice. I lived in renmark for years and most of my family still does.

Yeah my dad is in Berri. Nice place up there, good to get away from it without too much of a drive.

Front of my Stagea is trashed! So many bugs. Waiting for the sun to go down so I can give it a proper wash..

Andrew I was using the one from down your way, it developed a major leak on the dyno. Not actually sure whose the new one is.

I actually preferred the section from Broke to Wollemi, it is very tight, narrow, and no speed advisory signs to give each corner away ;) The old pac was the most painful, it is signposted 60 from Calga to Berowra nowdays

No doubt the speed limits will keep dropping on these "tourist" roads....enjoy them while you can!

Finally took a photo of my trans cooler for Ryan. Ignore the white spray all over everything - I was mid way through trying to get rid of all of the bugs from the front end of the car and there was plenty of overspray. :rolleyes:

Got the new 3.538 diffs in.....got some good umph now!!!!

My fears of the speedo being out are cured.....speedo and gps are exactly the same differences as they were before.

Just need to get on a dyno to sort out the tune again.

So the speed signal comes from the wheel sensors? Nice.

Now to see if 4.11's fit. :devil:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
