Could do, do not know. I will probably have the motor out by the look of things and will see what can be done at the same time ???

Who is doing the work?

Why the cam change?

Were they dialled in extensively last tune?

Why not just chuck some chemiweld in?

Jez will be doing the work.

Cams were dialled for a more even result, top and bottom

I believe Chemiweld had already been used, but that is only a guess

If I did change the CR . probably go 9:1

But I will not make any decision until it is pulled down and the problem found and go from there once I find out the initial problem :(

If you're happy with everything else then why not just resolve the head gasket issue?

Who said it was a head gasket, hope you are right, I tend to always think the worse and anything less is always a better outcome :)

Not going to say anything until the problem is found and fixed, I will go from there but while the car is in the shop might do a couple of tweaks.

Car goes in 12th of next month :rolleyes:

I will not bore you blokes until I have some results and poke the new Dyno Graph up

hmm I was just thinking about this thread the other day.

cracked block would be a bad outcome, but it doesn't really reflect on any shop involved in the build, its more just bad luck. You were pushing a mile of power through a standard wall block and it's not unheard of.

I am amazed sometimes on this thread.

At first the water lose was on a low boost run in tune and limited to 5000rpm, this was in March this year.

This water situation started from the first day of the build, it was not noticeable at first as I was checking the radiator, cold in the mornings and not the overflow, once the overflow emptied then it was noticeable from the radiator. I have always checked from the radiator so I knew exactly how much water was being used, I used a measuring cup.

The amount used on different driving situations was and is the same from day one as it was when we found the water in the oil.

Yet the oil still looked clean on the stick , not as you would expect ?

Edward lee now crd?

If I am not mistaken they said they tak no responsibility for any issues after Jez touched it. Therefor the only way you will have a chance at getting them to fork up for the new repairs is by taking them to court.

Or am I mistaken

I took them to NCAT, a tribunal were you can negotiate and come to a mutual agreement, I sat at home on the phone during this procedure. he was just a smart arse and told me to fark off, I didn't!

This situation is early days and the motor has to be checked , I am sure it can be worked out, until then it is just another bump in the road.

Some blokes should put themselves in the other persons shoes before posting, think about what you would do in the same situation , roll over like a dog , yeah sure ?

    • Thanks guys! Some pics attached 😋
    • Big enough for you, Jackie, and some puppers mate! I vote some GSDs, but I am biased   How big of a block is it on?
    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy     
    • I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way 
    • I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.
