A certain workshop i'n town decided to leave a cam cap not loose and it was sent to oil pump school. The reasoning behind me saying that this place Is full of dodge. All good tho, thinking of a spool 2.8kit. That or a freshen up and new pump ect. Gonna aim for A 10 this time.

was gonna take a coupla piccies on how to get the bastard out, but i cant get them to load up, missus got the camera atm so they are likely gone :(

now all i need is a winning lotto ticket and ill be on my way.

well, completely torn down, mains are pretty well ted, one big end is ted and the rest are suspect so im glad i got it quick, crank looks to be A O-K, might get away with a hone, just gonne get my mic's out and have a look in the daylight tomorow, head looks to be in pretty good nick, still need to dis-assemble it yet, number 6 slug looks to have possibly ingested a washer or something similar, taking the exhaust housing off the turbo tomorow to inspect in detail before i go and murder this workshop owner. On a brighter note, back to work on monday :)

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
