Fark that
 
We have our own restaurant now at the bell tower. Colin said we all get lifetime 1/2 price meals and free drinks :408_beers:

Menu looks pretty delicious and reasonably priced for skylines in the city? Ferris buleah and Carrie Bradshaw can't come. But I'm all for Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda and Mr big. They didn't crash their dad's Ferrari?

why is it apart?

Just tidying up a few things. Pulled the intercooler flushed and cleaned. Pulled all the pipe work and swaged all the piping. It had poxy welds on it for the hose clamps. went over the Ali welds and s/s welds on the boost and intake side re-welded and pressure tested because it was messy welding. The exhaust leak on the cat flanges was because the ceramic substrate had come loose and was rattling. (like you said for lifter rattle/check for exhaust leak) redone all the tubing got a new viscous coupling and fan coming (Nissan oem) because the fan had some cracking. all new clamps from work and get rid of the black silicone hoses and replace with all Blue silicone to match the engine bay. I had re-worked the tubes before but still had clashing issues but done properly now. New tomei shifter to replace gay sparco one and venom 100cell cat with 3" in/out and 5" metal substrate to replace the ceramic. I've put new coil packs in aswell and iridium plugs gapped to 0.8. Just done a oil change plus gearbox and diff oil l.s.d. Paste not long ago. Wouldn't mid a tune to see how it's running. Probably won't make much difference to power as is running pretty sweet.

General house keeping. My ideas about welding and mechanical fitting are obviously different to the previous owner's. No biggies.

Just a refit on some stuff that was pissing me off everytime I opened the hood. Got a Cusco rear brace on the way to match the front and will get rid of the poxy 12" sub taking up the boot space and replace with a piano hinge properly fitting to swing up and down for battery and amp spare wheel access etc. Etc.

Had the car off the road for a bit when I bought it and just tidied stuff up. Not a daily so will do stuff a bit better with some cash and time up my sleeve?

You know Trev R&D. Double door combustion engine:-)

Replaced the cords on 2 roller shutters on the w/end and have 3 new weather proof fluros coming for the patio and car port this w/end. Re done all my home tools last w/end and make up 3 new tool boxes one for mechanical one for electrical and one for marking and measuring. Been in the office at work so canning the weekends!

Or bourbon or whiskey:-) I replaced all the valley cover bolts (it only had 2 in it) with 5mm s/s Allen heads with anti seize and s/s flat washers when I done the coil packs and tarted up the wiring so thought it would save me from pulling and checking it for a while.

I don't run the valley cover, then I can change plugs without removing pipe work.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
