Money good, tax horrendous, body sore. New master and sleeved slave on clutch. Fork was fitted incorrectly and came off pivot ball. Gearbox out fork fitted correctly. New a/c compressor clutch was siesed. Now the clutch pedal has a weird click at different positions on pedal height. Assuming it's where the master cylinder shaft sits in the top of the clutch pedal.f##k

Sounds cool making custom bits for big boy toys

Sounds cool and is fun working on big motors sifting though loads of drawings sorting and ordering flanges parts and bits. till you realise your a old man that also has to build it all. Cummins qsk95. Kta50's etc. Lithium and associated mining for batteries taking off. All jobs are for contract power management. Turning massive alternators for power generation. My Brother in law works for C.P.M. So always interesting mining and engine conversations. All the exhaust systems are like big meccano kits with slip joints on flanged bellows and lobsterbacks so they can be adjusted and welded on site out to the mufflers with stacks etc. I love the solid geometry and mathematics involved, parallel line, radial line and triangulation. but am getting too old to continuously pump out the big welding jobs.

Nope it's my office. No one smarter or better than me allowed in ever. I guard that office and computer like a ravenous pit bull terrier. Any chance to get off the floor and I'm in there. :-) air conditioner soaking up even a very mild sweat.

15hrs pretending to be a German might not be germain to the situation. Just try to avoid their porn. Sebastian vettel calenders everywhere :-o

    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
    • That is correct,  I have a forged RB25/30det NEO hiding away safely and I wanted to use the very rare greddy vct adj cam gear on this new setup and so I just used the whole thing on my s1 instead of pulling it appear because I'm lazy af 😅🤌🏼
