Found a minor coolant leak, the coolant hose from the overflow to the engine, the clamp has seen better days, and I'm hesitant to just get a new clamp in case it is actually the hose on its way out

 

so, as I tend to do.....I'm replacing all radiator hoses and clamps

Lets hope the weather stays good till the parts arrive, riding the bike is the rain sucks balls

Did the cooling system flush with Rislone flush, although the system seemed clean and nice and red, and was flushed 12 months ago with the SCA flush, after the flush the red turned brown and lots of crud drained out,  then flushed the engine and core with clean water for a while before the water cleared up, then fitted the new OEM rubber coolant hoses and jubilee clamps, filled with Penrite red coolant and demineralised water

Also swapped out the diff oil with some Penrite pro gear 80w 140, I used Nulon 80w 140 last time, 12 months and 15k km ago, but the diff was a bit slappy with it, the Penrite has worked well in keeping it quite

20 minute test drive and miraculously no leaks 

Hopefully I can put all the undertrays back on tomorrow

Called Harrop today to see when they are sending the HTV2300........well, Covid has struck again, it seems everyone, everywhere, are ordering stuff, lots of stuff, therefore......massive backlog for ordered parts.

They start fabricating 2300's for LS1 applications on........ 19 March.....

They did say mine will be one of the first to be shipped though

  • Sad 1

Got bored and checked brake pad wear, rear were still pretty fat, fronts only had about 5mm left so.......got some Forza FP2 front pads on the way from Brakes Direct $139 delivered

Not bhed, good price

The supercharger has arrived at Autotech in Clyde.....

I'm in Taree

Dooh

Should be home in a week or so, I'll book in then and hopefully have it installed and tuned soon after

In other, more disturbing news

Seen a dead calf today, it was under a big cow, I assume its mother, the cow had its guts hanging out and an unborn calf was hanging out in those guts, I was like WTF, life can be cruel 

Did have the big sads for them

Good to hear supercharger is ready. 

That is understandable to have the sads but doing a great thing helping the locals out. 

Cheers mate, all the hard work is done by the locals and the young soldiers we throw at it, all I do is point and the young-uns and tell them to "GO GO GO"

I'll be returning soon though as I've got some medical shit going on that needs some attention, nothing serious, just minor maintenance on the old body.

Oh to be young again

Awesome, you will be smiling for a while when you get it back.

I'll just leave this here............ :whistling:

Mate, I'll be at the limits of my drivetrain, even with the built trans, with the 360-380kw that we are looking at making

Unless there is some current undiagnosed issues with the current engine, it "should" hold together fine

Fingers crossed - famous last words - hopefully- etc. etc.

    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
