Leave the poor guy alone. I would also be very edgy after everything he has gone through with this car.

True. Sorry mate.

Sometimes a bit of friendly banter gets taken the wrong way if your not in the right frame of mind.

But the main thing is that Pete beat the Tiida .... That's the main thing even at 10000 rpm. Would have sounded awesome.

Bit angry today Pete

No mate, its all good fun :)

I have never said I was any type of gun driver, I just like cars :wub: had a 911 and a TT300zx I used to push a bit, but I was a kid, 50 year old.

Everyone has their preferences , mine is a car that dives like a street car, one that has a bit of grunt from down low.

Do not need 3000 idle Ben, is that how you blokes do it. Me at 2500rpm and want to get it going in any gear drop down 1 gear and away you go, LOL

But serious it is great on the twisty stuff, so much fun. Not sure you could do the same on tight one lane roads with a T88 or something else that gives you 700 or 800 peaky HP, but I can only guess as I do not drive fast GTRs , just my heap :)

My car is the best fun you can have sitting down, well , a lap dance maybe ?

Keep the banter coming mate, that is what makes the Forum fun, farken love it :banana:

Have you got your car back yet Pete?

Not yet James, had an email this morning saying it looks like the leak has been fix but they will do some more tests over the next couple of days to be sure .

Not sure if they will be doing a new Dyno graph , soon see I guess ?

Things are looking up :)

At 70, I hope to be a much much more bitter and twisted old man than you. Pretty sure I am now at half of 70.

Oh don't worry mate , I was very bitter and twisted at 70 but now I am 73 I have matured , guess it comes with age , LOL

Just thinking to myself.... I feel more anxiety over and your car in than my own. Ha ha. Ha. Might have to drive up from Melbourne so you can take me for a spin when you get it back.

HAHA, that's why I have chilled, I left the anX to you. I lie , I had / have enough anxiety for the both of us. It's been a long 9 months :)

And it's not over :/

They are probably just putting the head back on now pete, takes more than a few days to strip a motor again, lol... :ph34r: apprentice stuffed up again..

Thanks Mark, now my head is exploding thinking about anther 5 months getting the motor re built :bomb_ie:

No problems, I will be picking it up VERY soon and looking forward to a little spirited driving to see how it is running :)

Got a date for pickup? Good RB30 blocks are getting harder to find.

They are going to do a few more tests and I should know by Friday :)

Just hope I got one of the good ones, they did all sorts of tests on my RB30 block, like below

ENGINE MACHINE WORK INCLUDING HOT TANK BLOCK, ACID

WASH , BORE AND HONE , BALANCE ENGINE COMPONENTS.

DECK BLOCK, MACHINE BLOCK FOR O/S HEAD STUDS,

MACHINE WORK FOR AWD ADAPTOR AND ENGINE BRACE KIT.

MACHINE SUMP RAIL TO TRUE UP ENGINE BLOCK.,RELIEVE ENGINE BLOCK FOR 3.2LTR STROKER ENGINE.

1.000 SONIC TEST AND XRAY ENGINE BLOCK TO TEST FOR SUITABLITY

Sounds like they did their best

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
