Rust Prevention While Engine Apart

Got the RB30 engine on the stand, noticed the bore has developed a golden tinge to it, so very light beginning of rust? I've oiled the bore and turned motor by hand, but obviously as the piston goes down it cleans the bore. I've squirted some lanolin on the bores and turnt by hand again...

Should I worry about this or will the lanolin remain on the bore?

I've seen my boss glad wrap his block 360 degrees and use oily rags on his drag car.

Makes sense to me glad wrap to stop morning dew or humidity.

Oily rag to oil it.

Lanolin would be a smarter choice then fish oil. Fish oil gets very sticky.

I would not worry about it 1st fire will smell like sheep :D

I always used to drown everything in ATF, then wrap them up in an oil soaked bedsheet. Then bag it for good measure.

Kept a mates built 308 bottom end shiny and lovely whilst his B-port heads were rebuilt by the slowest head shop in the world.

Light oil on the piston tops and crank it over then light grease applied to the exposed bore in a similar way you might grease a baking pan and cover the top of the bores with a plastic sheet over the top of something like cotton T Shirts sprayed with WD-40 or similar water dispersant.

Big Plastic bag over the lot like Dale

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
