ATI balancer sold pending payment. Catch can sold pending payment.

I would tend to agree by looking at the design. Disc designers are a lot smarter than me however... I guess it must act as a vacuum by creating a low pressure zone outside the vanes which draws the hot air out from the centre of the disc outwards. Makes sense in that it evacuates the hot air and dust away from the centre of the disc.

Yeah mate, my car is a 33 GT-R. I'll PM you.

ATI Balancer sold pending payment.

Hi guys, Clearing up some stuff out of the shed- ATI Harmonic Balancer for R32 GT-R (different front pulley I believe). $350 posted in Oz. Used ARP Mainstud set (includes nuts and washers but missing 1 washer so just reuse a standard one) A few scuffs on a couple of them from slipping a bit in the vice removing the nuts. $75 posted in Oz. R33 Catch Can. Not sure what brand it is. Fit's in place with standard washer bottle and coolant overflow. Has inlet/outlet and drain point at the bottom. $100 posted in Oz. Full set of brand new RB26 (also suit SR20) intake and exhuast valve guides. Ended up buying a brand new head instead of reco on my existing one. $140 posted in Oz. Please let me know if you have any questions or need further info. Thanks!

Well written ActionDan. Disappointing to read however. Brad came across as a bit of a champion of the automotive industry to me based on face value. His work seems to be fantastic according to the pictures posted. It will be sad if he can't get his life/business reputation back on track enough to be able to post on here again to inspire us. I feel for everybody that has paid money and not received as they're promised. That burns you bad and makes you distrust everyone you buy from in future. Brad, please redeem yourself!

If you're going to do it you may as well do it properly and put it as close to where is recommended by the supplier/manufacturer. You may need to get a different bung to weld on to a titanium pipe. I'm not sure if mild steel or stainless can be welded straight onto titanium but someone may be able to answer that?

It does a little bit.... Basically no, you need the weld on bung to have enough thread to screw into. The pie thickness of your exhaust is not enough to hold it.

I've got one in purple. You'll need to find me one in white to swap with to get it off me!

It's fu<king cursed then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the crank was linished after the first time then this has to be put down to to material in the engine (oil) still. Did you remove the oil gallery plugs in the engine and flush it out when you were cleaning it? You need to direct the pressure washer flow straight into those main galleries and block off each main bearing hole so it pressurises the other holes and blows any contaminants out. Chunks of metal/bearing material could have been left in the gallery and as soon as you had oil pressure again it pushed it straight back into the bearing shells where it came from. That would be the most likely cause of the cam shitting itself too. I'm sorry to say it but I think you just didn't clean it out well enough after last time.

I can go one worse..... I live in Shepp 2 kms from Deca and don't have a car I can use on it!

Strokey strokey! Nice! Good to see you're using quality Aussie parts!

Looks hot! Good job.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the rattle gun. To undo them hell yeah! For the extra 5 minutes it takes to do it properly, is it worth it??

Thanks. It might sound silly but silver engines make working in the engine bay easier as it refracts the light better than black. Makes digging around underneath manifolds a bit easier when you can see wahts going on. Makes oil leaks easier to find too.....

Either put a breaker bar on the crank bolt and get someone to hold it or lock it against something or the preferrable option is to put a bolt through in one of the bellhousing bolt holes and put a large curved lever in the flywheel teeth and use the bolt you put in as the levering point. Does that make sense?

I thought cutting spark was safer as it prevented leaning out and melting pistons? I have no experience with them but it makes sense. Could overspin the turbo if the fuel ignites in the turbo though.

Can we please change the name of the SAU club to 86/BRZ Club as I feel that would be more accurate..... There were more of those than everything else put together! Obviously a good fun little car by the looks of things. Be nice to actually have a few more Skylines there next time however! Not sure which of the 2 orange S13's it was I saw but dude you can drive! Some nice drifting in the battles! Hope to join in next time and represent for team Skyline!

Painted the block today. Looks like a Massey Ferguson in primer- Decided to go silver for something a little bit different! Not sure of everyones thoughts on that...?? Washed all the bearings and put the crank in. Just need to get some more Plasti-Gauge to make sure all clearances are perfect- Hopefully get the bottom half sorted by the end of this week. My pressure washer crapped itself so still need to get the head washed up after all the extra machining for the oil galleries.

Weather is looking insanely good! Hopefully everyone has an awesome day. Don't do anything good until I get there!

Sick wheels on the trolley Glen! That thing would fly!

I think I've got one. I'll check tonight if I get a chance otherwise I'll find out over the weekend. You can have it for the price of the post if I've got one.

Sure, but not at Deca!

It's a bit cloudy here today but nice and warm. If it's like this or better tomorrow it will be an awesome day. If anyone wants to buy a WRX while they're in town pop in and see me tomorrow morning before you do out to DECA! Got a nice demo WRX hatch in white for $38990 if anyone's interested... I'll see you guys there after I finish work. Look for the 6'8" toss bag towering above the crowd and you've probably found me
