Didn't you buy a built bottom end that he just needed to assemble and tune??

how many years is this build at now?

 

Second hand surprises...pulled it apart to check tolerances and such, found some poor machining he wanted to tidy up so we pulled it down and started from scratch re-using most of the components. Head was also shaved too much so replaced that re-using the same valvetrain. Block and head now assembled with cams, currently getting sump welded to suit gearbox. Once that's done it goes in the car and then the plumbing fun begins.

I delivered car to workshop at start of last year from memory.

So I could be screwed? work for an IT company that specialises in a certain profession with numerous clients, saw on seek a 'dream job' kinda thing, basically the kind of firms we look after, but being their sole IT manager internally, the next step I want to do in my career. I applied, fast forward 2 weeks my boss is meeting with the firm as a potential new client, gee I wonder how they got the idea that we existed..

So do I A: have an honest convo with my boss before they meet B: not say anything and hope it doesn't come up, (that they only found out about us because of me applying for a role?) 

inb4 do a simon and send out all staff email

Time for cheap daily?

Great, thieves tried to steal Soarer today. At this stage if you own an import and don't have insurance you're an idiot.

Starting to appreciate the middle eastern punishment for theft.

Famous insurance wouldn't insure my car any more than $15k. Considering it has a rebuilt forged Neo, rebuilt gearbox & a $3k new turbo.

Happy to pay more premium but not even an option :/

Rusted r32 gtr's are worth 4x more :(

Might have to try shannons or NRMA vintage/classic insurance

I wouldn't mention it at all. It's nobody else's concern if you apply for jobs, it only becomes their concern if you accept one.

Mother's house

Stopped by immobiliser, so another smashed ignition barrel

I'd end up in jail if I caught these lowlives doing their thing

    • Nah, nothing formal, just open track days. Mostly small and tight circuits but I would like to get back out to Eastern Creek at some stage.
    • What type of track driving will you be doing?  Do you have a set of class rules you need to abide by that will limit your rim / tyre width?
    • I've been reading a lot lately about unsprung weight and how beneficial it can be to reduce it for driving on the track, given my semi's only have another day or two in them I am throwing around the idea of some lighter wheels and a square set up. I have 265/35/19's and 245/40(?)/19 Federal 595's at the moment. The wheels and tyres are super heavy. I looked up my wheel weight online and got 14.5kg naked. Not sure if this was 8.5 (front) or 9 (rear) but that's a lot. I have also been reading about the benefits of a square setup. Much better rotation and potentially less understeer.  When I throw these together I'm thinking about a 17x9 or 18x9 square (preferably under 10kgs per wheel) with 245 or 255's. I can get some cheap 17x8.5 BMW M Sport wheels, they weight 10.5 kg's each but at 8.5 wide could probably only get 245's on them? I know they come with 255's from factory but semi's are a bit chunkier. Otherwise it will be aftermarket wheels in a 9" width. Most of the other BMW wheels are heavy unless you pay a squillion dollars for some M wheels.  Although, the E46 M3 Style 67's could be good but I'd have to buy 2 sets to square them up.  My car has a tickle over 400hp and about to put an LSD in also, is 245 a little thin for a square setup? It kinda feels that way to me. Also, is there any tangible benefit to having 18's over 17's? Is the footprint demonstrably bigger? From those of you who went to light(er) wheels after heavy buggers, did you notice it much?
    • Start with the R32 GTR wiring diagram. The ECU is essentially the same, so the pinouts are good. The details around ECCS relays, etc might differ a little bit, but the reality is that you need to get ignition power to kick the ECU so it powers up the ECCS relay which brings the rest of the ECU up. This also gives power to the other circuits that are needed to make the engine run, like the ignition coils, etc. All of this is visible on the R32 diagram and should give you a strong guide, even if it's not quite the same as the R33. As to specifics - I'm pretty sure no-one can help you from afar, as there is no way to know what mistake or omission has been made in connecting stuff up. It always turns out to be "LOL, I shorted something and an entire wire vanished out of the loom", or "We never connected X or Y main connector", or "shit, you mean I need to have that fuse installed?".
    • hello wanted some insight on what my problem could be so i swapped a RB26DETT into my r33 gtst used a R33 GTR engine harness and im using a haltech platinum pro. The car cranks but no start the ecu isn’t getting any power now im trying to find out why i cant seem to find any schematics  or diagram for the engine harness for the r33 gtr anything helps thank you.
