So today after 6 and a half months i got the phone call i have been waiting for! The GTR is complete. Full engine rebuild. Commence the running in phase...

That's an old photo... Task #1 clean it and take some new pics!

So if you see a gunmetal grey/Blue 32 GTR with those gold rims south side give us a wave!!

I'm waiting for that phonecall too.

Not only would it mean that I finally get to drive my GTR, but it would also mean that I owned one in the first place!!!

mmmmmm me Jelly...

Nice one! May it bring you countless hours of driving pleasure, and if it evers needs a babysitter, PM me !!! :thumbsup:

Ultimate tunes did it for me, ill post a full list tomorrow morning but full piston kit, top end rebuilt, fuel system rebuild, block bore etc... When i broke it the car had cracked 5 pistons (detonation) blown the head and f**ked half the valves.... Did a good job.

Good to hear you got your car back.

I may see you in my street visiting the blue Celica now.

I also ride past your house every day at 5.10 on the way home... keep an eye out for a red bike with a white jacket (y)... I was there in the GTR yesterday. Ill tell you what it's nice to have it back.

sounds good SIn, unfortunately i can't make it on Friday but ill be going both days on the weekend. By Japanese whaling fleet do you mean the big things known as Stageas?

Will do.

If you see my car in the driveway feel free to stop in and say hello.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • 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.
