Hello Kym.

I spoke to Phil and Daniel last night! They both remember you. They don't remember much about a fire so please do let me know what happened there!

Thanks for the hint Rev210!

Next time you see me drunk, you will know what I have just done!

Strich9ine,

I enjoy a wide range of drinks and a range of wide drinks.

The cactus juice is a favorite as well. I make a fremented chilli drink that is brought up to 37% alchohol by the cactus juice and I call it "Fire water". Like napalm down the throat and explodes I the stomach like a rack of funelled B52's. It also makes you drunk very quick.

heheh, what are the odds hey. Small world :)

Not only a connoiossuer, but a brewery whore too huh?

I made wine once, squeezed the grapes myself, added all the ingredients needed, found out later that 200g of sugar made about 10% alcohol...... i put in 1.2kg of sugar...

...needless to say I discovered the reason it was so potent in a not-so-nice way...

... how do you make this napalm you speak of ?

I take 500gms of habenaro chilli.

blend it to a pulp (outside because the fumes are exactly what tear gas is made from)

add a little yeast and sugar and leave it in a bottle for a few months.

add a small amount of white vinager when done and make to volume with your favorite spirit. This time the mexican cactus juice.

there you have it, drinkable napalm. On second thoughts I won't be trying that one. Sounds a little risqu'e for me....

*runs back to his milk'n'cookies*

Kym, Daniel would have found it very amusing I think! He is a cheeky little sh*t. How long ago was that anyway?

Lovely police officer? There is no such thing?

You still haven't told me about the fire story and I am dieing to know, please!

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
