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 :)

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
