The only thing hard about skylines is the back ache u get from bending over them all the time. Low coupe fails lol

Yep back is dying. Spent all day tig welding double bellows. Came in with the wrong pressure rating flanges from Malaysia. They are paying us to fix them. Had to cut off all the 16mm flanges and fit 38mm thick flanges (5/8" to 1 1/2") Pulse weld all the triple ply ends back together (0.4mm thick) then fit the new flanges. Had to be welded to a weld procedure to Australian standards. 16 hours solid tig so far. Been fluffing around with the car at night also. Totally warranted a 4 pack of bourbon tonight. I am old.

    • I think in the modern era we live in, if I were converting a hydro lifter head to solid, particularly when chasing revs, I'd be seeing what I could do to use shimless buckets. Those of us with Neos usually have this persistent niggling fear of a shim getting spat out and ruining everything. Shim-over is...yucky that way. At least the Tomei kit appears to be conventional, but it would still be nice if they'd decided to go shimless.
    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.
