God damn I wish I'd thought of that. So many kids! 

I started handing out fresh fruit to them, the look on their little faces was priceless

I didn't come up with the idea, I saw it somewhere, but I did roll with it for a few years

Jackie ended up banning me from doing it as it was later being discussed in the local mothers Farcebook group page thingie because some of the kids had a sook

Makes me smile just thinking about it

Fat little shits

I dislike Halloween, as I dislike children, and don't want them knocking on my door.

 

Until I watched this video, and so now I'm getting ideas for Halloween 2024, except zero candy, choosing trick every time...

I just let the dog answer the door,they get the hint when all they find is a little staffy smiling and wagging its tail on the other side of the door lol

Ha ha ha, I have 3 German Shepherds.

When we aren't home one of them yells at the school kids walking past, so much so my partner has witnessed the kids psyching themselves up to walk past the house.

You knock on the door, all 3 will go be the doorbell. I've already had to replace a front window from a dog going through it...

Thankfully it was due to him playing wrestles with his brother, and not to get the postman or something... Ha ha ha

 

But definitely didn't want to hear that multiple times during the night while I'm trying to watch TV ha ha

All the fab work is done. I got the cooler piping and intake made up all with genuine Wiggins clamps (believe me they aren’t cheap) also had the blow off valve put on the pipe inside the front bar on the drivers side

well things took a turn for the worse and then got even worse again. Will update with full story soon 

Oh shit......  That ain't good.....

Sorry it’s taken so long but I haven’t been well (not sure why)

Unfortunately it’s not a throw off, while the car was at the fabricator/tuner they noticed an oil leak and said they didn’t want to tune the car until it was rectified. the car was towed to the fab shop that did the sump and put on his hoist and we looked for the leak, we determined where the leak was and what had caused it and the engine needed to come out because he didn’t want to weld it on the car.
 

He then offered me his hoist to pull the engine out which I was very grateful for and the next day arrived tools in hand and remove the engine and gearbox in about 4 hours!! Now, while draining the oil tank I noticed what came out first appeared to be coolant then followed by oil, I undid all the scavenge lines and we noticed there was a milky layer coming out of them as well 😞

once the engine was out and and the sump removed there was clear evidence of coolant in the oil/sump, so the engine was put into my Ute and I took it home to take the manifolds and etc off and dropped to the engine shop. The car was then towed out of the workshop to get it out of the fabricators way

Fark…..  Hopefully just something dumb like a missing plug in a gallery or something specific to the billet block.  Hard to imagine what else it could be?  Having not run nothing could be pressurised to force coolant into the oil and vice versa.  Very unusual….  A lot of extra farking around you probably really didn’t feel like doing!

Looking at it myself there’s only really one thing I believe it could be, I’m just not going to say anything until the machine shop looks at it and gives their opinion

So they took the head off pretty much straight away and pressure tested it both hot and cold and confirmed the head is fine, they are going to pressure test the block but don’t believe there is a way that can cause the issue. 

Block was tested this week and turns out it’s leaking from number 6 sleeve, been told they’ll strip it down to a bare block and and pull the sleeve out to find out why it’s leaking 

It’s a bit of a weird one considering water isn’t supposed to touch the sleeves in these blocks. I’m just glad they found an issue rather then not finding anything and guessing the head gasket just didn’t seal

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
