Ha ha I'm at work. Will take it easy the next few days. Eating the curry of burning irony in sandwiches for smoko .



OUCH

Blistered up yet?

Amazingly looks pretty good today. Did 1 hour of cold water on off till the heat disappeared. Wrapped in sterile cloth and glad wrap. Nurse said just put antiseptic on for 5 minutes then pat clean keep re laying dressing.
10 hours and I'm done

At least it won't take long to roll the walls

At it again I see! I did our front lounge and the office/kids rooms with floorboards. Cut the edges in with a little rolling edges thing was way easier than tape and brush. I rolled the walls with a long extension on the roller and a halogen light pointing on the wall with 2 pedestal fans running in the room. Was way easier to see from standing back with the long extension pole and light in the room, was colder weather like now so fans and airflow helped the paint dry alot. Stained the timber skirtings in Japan black and cut the shape for a butt up not mitres with a coping saw. Re-done the ceiling first when the floor was concrete with drop sheets. Used the ceiling paint that goes on pink and dries white. Way easier too see. Not a doubt in my mind you've done a trick job!! Animal:-)
Evening all!

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
