Low oil pressure is now fully understandable!!! Poor stock pistons were putting out over 450whp so they've had a hard life!!!

PS - same wheels as meeeeeeee

PPS - are you going to do some track days with the new engine? Might wanna do brakes too - Ksport 356mm 8pot brake kit is under $2k from UK with EBC Blue pads and they work a bloody treat!!! You know you wanna do it :)

Yeah, we are still not sure but it most likely will be the cause.

Yeah love the RPF1s :) I think yours was the reason why I bought some im not sure... I have to do some trolling lol.

If I do track days I will most likely go DBA4000s until I decide that my calipers need upgrading I want AP Racing mmmmmm AP Racing...

will be good to see the vcam

should make it quite fast

The V-Cam will be more a lets make it more responsive over fast. but in turn will be quick down the straight :)

I have asked but my goal is 500hp on pump which is achieve able :) given with the quicker response then = WINNING good street/track on occasion car :) then project number 2 will start.

Could you pm me what they charging for for VCT setup thinking of going Down this road for my new build

Your best bet would be to talk to Dan from Elite Racing Developments or ERD for short.

I know they have to drill a oil gallery in the head and then they change cam profiles etc....

Hyper6 Sean my tuner, he is running it in his 32 GTR atm with a T04z runs 1000rpm earlier on the dyno graph its pretty awesome I will try and see if I can get him to post it up or Dan might have a copy.

Well not much has happened, the block has been sent off to the machinist should arrive back early next week from what I have heard, I have received my heater hoses from Performance-Wise and I received my CAS Sensor gasket from Kudos Motorsports.

The engine covers are being painted up along with all the bits and pieces that can be painted of the engine.

I am getting very excited to see the results of the build I am aiming to push 500hp on pump with then going the VCT set up.

Once I get to that I will be then setting the car up with the right suspension settings, brakes etc.

Unfortunately my car will most likely be just as complete as I am going under the knife for hand surgery lol.

no good on the hand mate.

how is everything looking?

I thought Sean was using a different turbo - not a Z?

Ohhh such is life, shit happens lol. I want to keep the bone they remove tho... I am hoping I can it put in with my series of events... Cracked piston, Destroyed Shoei Motorbike Helmet and Bone... lol. would be a good show case lol.

Yeah everything is looking good, got offered some Grex brakes yesterday I am tempted however I want more the engine to be set up right so focusing on that lol.

Nah I am pretty sure its a Z but it might be a differenct brand version of the Z tho.

go the AP 6 piston fronts, 350 rotors are what i run and they go well on the street and track, 380 if ya really feel the need is available too :P

keep stock rears, or if you wanna upgrade, the 34 brembo's, but generally with good rotors and pads the stock rears are fine.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
