Haha motor is out now they got you locked in. Brace yourself for the wait ?

Daz , your the type of bloke that tries to stop the world turning, killer of dreams and one that stomps on optimists, I hate you because you may be right,hahha

We will see , I have faith in these people to deliver on time, you blokes do not know about this type of build thing. Shit , I have been modifying cars for 8 months and know everything :)

Found the motor :)

I certainly hope so, that's how I would have done it

Build the bottom end before yanking the motor from the car then transfer every thing across, upgrading as they go

that was to be finished weeks ago but there was a problem, but the main thing is it is on the go :)

I can understand your anxiety and frustration.

My build started in June 13 when I dropped off the stroker kit and N1 block. It went into the shop around November 13 and I picked it up after run-in with the powertune sorted last Thursday. (There was approx 6 weeks of panel and paint sub-letted to another workshop early this year though that was the only 'side' job)

Though there are few workshops you can trust and expect quality work (especially in W.A) and it all ends up taking longer then expected due to other customers builds of course and usually a few hiccups along the way.

But the end result will be worth it!

All the best with your build mate ;)

Well , that story doesn't help , haha

Shat, it seems that it does not matter where you live the results are the same, they do it in their own time and do not seem to care about the time frame.

But this mob has done everything they said they would do for me on time so I still have a couple of weeks until they are over and it is only that I am getting nervous about my expectations of the results, it is an expensive exercise and it does not matter how many blokes say it is going to be OK, I wonder if I expect too much from the extra .6Lt to give me the response I want without pushing the crap out of it?

Time will tell :)

  • 2 weeks later...

Well my optimism is dwindling :(

RB30 block not back yet , I understood from a few blokes that this could be done quickly as it is not a big job for a well equipped workshop ?

Trannie pulled down, has a problem and still in bits , but no real problem.

Head still out being "worked on"

Asked for a finish date, could not get one :(

BUT I am sure it will be done soon and I will be driving it before Xmas :)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
