Very lucky, So what's going on, is he providing another head or is he just using a bigger head gasket (which has its downsides)?

Giving me another head and swapping my supertech valves etc. into it

He's got that many of them it's just "easier" that way

I bought a custom made 10 litre with reco'd diff and some swanky baffle/pickup shit about it.

Was going single stage external oil pump (have the pump and ross balancer) but now sticking with the nitto. Was gonna lose air con to it.

Gross. Good choice though, stupid easy to spin a bearing with these and stock sumps. 

Edit: Does it all fit actually? With the 4WD adapter plate and then a much larger sump

He seems to think it will. The sump is wider rather than deeper I think

How's your beast going these days

A month or two in car terms is years...

Running cams?

why are you f**kers talking about skylines and GTRs? you think this is a skyline forum or something? 

[Birds]

It sure ain't no GS forum

[Odium]

Look at these two blokes bonding over their overheated RB's...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

Lol the only 2 people talking about skylines for like 5 years and they are both in pieces

[UNR33L]

Don't forget when Greg comes all up in here with his head troubles as well  

RIP RBs 

[Birds]

All GTR owners are required to fulfil 6 months of mandatory workshop service

I just spotted an entry to our Haunted Hills day next weekend from Captain Lucky himself... I'm sure it's going to go well for everyone involved.

[Birds]

Got excited for a second thinking you were referring to Captain Will but then I realised it was an ironic jab at Greg

[Daz]

88e recovering? 

[Leroy Peterson]

Like those chickens that run around even though the head has been cut off
