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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
