Good News, well semi good news! I should have the engine back in my possession tomorrow or Monday at the latest TNT were booked to pickup the pallet this afternoon! Fingers Crossed. So far the missing parts tally stands at 2 x Sets of Rings 1 x Set of Bearings Set of ARP Head Studs Misc Nuts and bolts. I hope this is all... Will know more when the Pallet arrives and hopefully Paul picks up his phone.... Until now his phone just rings out. Thanks again to M.J.H for his assistance on this matter, Let hope you get all your parts located also! Cheers Cameron

Well I've been sent a couple of pictures of my things - Looks like "most" of the parts are there. Hoping m.j.h can locate the missing items tomorrow evening!

Hey, let me know how you go, past two times ive called in noonr answered the door. feel free to pm mr and we mught chat offline about our situation. cheers cameron

is yours with him also? i know mine is in bits...

Yea I had someone call into his house on Saturday but no one answered the door. Would be great if he returned my calls or even told me who I need to talk to to get my parts back.

So I heard... Last I spoke to him he said he would be back on the 5th June for Good... Which didn't seem the case. Time for the police and Lawyers I think..

Yea - Back when I originally got the engine built by him his service was great and quick turn around now.... 100% about face.

Yea I'd love too.... One small issue it's a house and when I've had people knock on the door there's no answer.

Eh.... Still trying to get my engine back! Finally Spoke to Paul a month ago and he said the engine will be done within a week of the 5th June and the 12th has come and gone and still unable to reach him...

Does anyone know if's he's got a new number?

i am seriously thinking if driving the 8 hours to newcastle to see whats going on!

At this point all i want is it done!

Roy - I'd love to however the engine has been in Newcastle since December and I've not been able to get a hold of Paul for the last month and a bit.

Yea I am being Patient, Engines been absent since early December and he's doing me a favor. All I want is a rough ETA as i'm moving houses and need to know what to do with the bloody car.

Hi All, Engine with Paul currently however he's been a little hard to get a hold of of recent times. Has anyone heard from him lately I know a few guys were in regular contact in Newcastle. Cheers C.

As the title says I'm chasing the power steering lines from the pump to the rack for a R32 GTST. If you are selling please let me know Cheers Cameron

They are custom ROSS pistols & rings by total seal. I don't believe so it smoked from first startup and got worse under load

I spoke to the engine builder who said that the ring radial depth was suspect when built however confirmed with the piston manufacture so build continued. He suspects this to be the cause.

Hi, We didn't need to cut this recess for the rods to clear as the rods cleared with 3 - 4 mm to spare. We had all plans to machine them out but decided to dummy it up first just to make sure it was required - And it wasn't. I guess it depends on the rods you use. On another note, The care visited Horsepower Solutions the other week for a run in tune, While on the dyno they noted an excessive amount of blow by - I told them to push through it to see if it cleared up which it did mostly however it is still there. We decided to rip the engine out next week however now with the storms that hit Brisbane on Sunday and the 50mm hail that decided to pimple 3/4 of my daily and my missus car The build has again been put on hold.... Yay! On basic run-in tune limited to 6000rpm and 11 - 12psi of snail power the car was making a very comfy 230~kw at the rear wheels on BP 98. Once I try get some cash together "again" I'll strip her down and check for issues before putting some larger injectors in an seeing what she goes like on E85 and 30psi. As I think someone said earlier **rattles tin** Cheers!

It's been rebuilt 3 times in the last 5 years, latest was about 12 months ago but only got it back in and turbo setup complete 6 months ago so yea.. cars been indoors and dry

Lol yes well I hold judgement and don't point fingers

We'll I called them this morning and told them to push it harder so we will see how it goes!

Yes there was as soon as it first fired up and didn't get any worse, this was my reason for not running it for any more than I did.
