Screw you and your 34 gtr(I'm jelly).

But good to hear it's making progress.

My cranks ready, but I've no cash currently due to selling house and associated costs.

Yeah, guess they are making progress, so was the Titanic!

You should say you lost the cheque from the sale, cash it and take the money and run, pick up the new crank on the way out of town :)

Crank was all good?

Have used sop plenty of times.

I'm bordering between youth and age, so get most of what's going on.

For now.....

I'm bordering between old age and the box :) I wish it was a softer box and I would not mind going in there, lol

I told you it would be like this haha

My engine is ready :D pick up this week

Trouble is, driving the car was my daily rush and started my day off with a bang after I got the girls off to school .

Knees and shoulders have been stuffed for a while, so no golf and SFA to do at home, well apart from normal house work. I am Mr Mom :)

Cannot wait to get it back and I hope it is everything I think it will be and all will be good again.

Nothing like the feel of power at the touch of your foot, the excitement of being thrust back in the seat and hoping you do not stuff the next change, just thinking about it got me excited , nearly cracked a boner, then I passed out, Fark old age, lol

I told you it would be like this haha

My engine is ready :D pick up this week

You would make someone a good wife, with this, " I told you so shit",haha

Good news mate, hope it is all good, get some pics going on your thread, maybe some vids , get Paul or Mick to drive it, dont want you farking it up again before you can get some happy snaps, haha

I'll put some pics up now :)

Well, if Slowly Slowly gets the job done, this one should be done sometime in the future???

They have been rooting around with the oil pickup and cradle over 2 weeks. I used to make Proto Type tubular products and if I was in that industry and could not do that and the cradle mods from scratch in a day, I would sack myself. If I had done the work before and knew I would be doing it again,I would have made a template so I could do it in quickly. With a small tube bender, in minutes for the bend shapes, cut the ends off the old pickup, weld the ends back on the new bends and done, of course you must do it precisely so it ends up where you want it too. Make a jig and it is the same every time :)

I just could not comprehend that if you give a company all of the components 2 months before they tell you to drop the car off, then give you a 6-8 week build time and 19 weeks later, this is as far as they have got and going on the previous time frames for the work done, it could still take them ???????????????????????????? :(

The other work was done on time and at the price quoted , more than happy with the results :)

I know, "you all told me so" , I just could not believe that people in business can be so full of shit and remain in business if they treat their customers like this??????????

These people are something else, they are like mushroom farmers, we are the mushrooms.

The Mushroom :rant:

    • 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
