Sorry to hear about the prang Joel :mad: You should be able to get all the parts you need to do a full repair, without it costing too much. It may take a little while, but then so do smash repairers.

I always make a habit of getting NCB protection, you just never know.

My previous car was a VS 5ltr manual. It had ABS.

When I first jumped in to the Skyline that was one thing I missed.

Any Idea whats involved in slapping a ABS in to my car?

The VS used to have the wheel speed sensors at the just off the IRS diff (looked like a large set of gears that had an optical looking sensor).

So I would assume if the Skylines are similiar I would need to use an ABS diff or just the (whats the word for them? mental blank) The rods that go to the wheels that provide the drive.

Not depressed at all though.

Gives me a good excuse to finally get the left guard/part of the roof fixed from a bodgy previous repair. + a few other things that were bugging me.

nar cars not fixed yet..

I'm keeping the stockish look.

I like the look of a stocker R32, big tyres hanging out the back with a stockish looking muffler that has a nice 3.5" s/steel pipe. I'm not big into milo-tin mufflers, atmo bovs, lowering & big body kits etc. :rant:

Is Gary still there? He use to own a really clean VLT.

I'll come down and show him the new motor when its in.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
