Sounds like it's all coming together now!

I'll be interested to see your paint results with the PPG mix, as my car is also currently under the gun using PPG. Hopefully it's a quality, robust paint.

Any ETA of turn key?

Im hoping I get it back this week. Then we rip out the rb20 next week. May paint the bay again next week end and remove the hicas lines. So turn key sometime next next week for the rb26

I know who he is on here... ahhh so frustrating! Car may be painted tomorrow as they wet rubbed it today.. those rails are the final piece of the puzzle

well the guy with the rails messaged back yesterday.. saying hes really sorry. they have been sent and he will follow it up on monday
well see how it all goes

anyway.

OMGGTR (george) came past with his scary torque wrench (that kept on making f**king sounds every time i went near it. must be an arab alarm) and bolted the head down and did the timing!

Unfortuate about the hand!

Have you found any weathershields yet? I haven't had a look at the coupe ones yet, but was gunna see if they could be modified to fit a sedan door?

Don't bother getting coupe ones, they're different in length, body lines are different.

I found out when I bought a pair thinking its same between coupe and sedan.

Either searching for used pairs or buy new ones from Nissan/amayama.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
