Martin that's a good point >.<

Cass your cars a 4x4 lol, lower it and watch the wheels tuck.

It's a 4x4 because it has massive front pipes...its only at that height that we managed to clear a major defect. Got done this time last year for height (70 mm clearance). Cost me 390 dollars ish to clear it. Left it to avoid further headf**ks from TMU. Will lower it again once I have the money to heat protect and tuck exhaust...but will do for now. Tucked at rears at 70mm, couldn't fit a finger between wheel and guard.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Took about a month to do on/off weekends due to weather and other commitments

Drove around with no door skin for a month

Dont think i'll be able to do that with the drivers now ~_~

Especially with the window controls disconnected during this weather lawl

I forsee my sound system to be done by December at this rate haha

Lol'd at this. Can't really bag out on any engines until you've driven a well modded one.

i'd be more than happy to drive a 20det 32....

i just wouldn't bother looking for more than like 230rwkw

Yeah rb20det's are fine

my old 32 was up to 230rwkw on a garrett hiflow BB turbo and spool was good to, not as laggy as you would think

Cheers man, I'm hangin for them to arrive, 6-8 weeks apparently :(

nice man, what sizes?

Cant wait to see them on

what part of your car was ever 70mm? the exhaust?

or are you talking the gap between fender and tyre? ;)

yup, (although your prices with the "?" need to be doubled) and 230 is actually a pretty fkn quick car.

it's also a perfect ammount of power to be able to carelessly slide without having the troubles of an underpowered car, or trying to wrangle a wild bull

havent kept up with the going rates for car parts these days haha

I remember i picked up gtr injectors + z32 afm for $300 total

Just need to find someone desp for a sale.

Although wouldnt recommend gtr injectors as they leaked 1yr afterwards. Less headaches buying new and never worrying.

on another note; petrol claim for using car for business use is awesome!

75cents per km. Rack up 400km (city and back for a week) = $300 = Final inspection detail due to the cardboard box which hit my car when driving for business >_<

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
