Nice job, must have taken a lot of work but when I buy my RS-Four I think I'll retain the original style.

Also couldn't help noticing the corrosion on the pictures with the wings removed, are Stagea's prone to corroding or do they just rust a little due to age?

Its a Stagea and skyline thing. Im getting the corrosion cut out and new metal welded in soon. The suspension towers are a twin skin and its common for water to get in and sit between the two skins causing the corrosion.

Installed a Walbro 255 fuel pump on the hearse today. Didn't take to long, About an hour.


Bit of an odd set up compared to Skylines and S15's. The pump is house separate to the sender in a white box in the fuel tank.

Do the wings bolt off or do they need cutting off?

      I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      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.)
