haha nah thats cool al

yeah picked up some cool slimline LED one that glues to the rear windscreen for $20 at rice'o'barn seemed to do the trick

better then those ugly box ones that come standard on 1987 corollas haha which are $30 :thumbsup:

i was going to get round to it sooner rather then later anyhow as i was paranoid that someone target driving behind me would not notice my tail lights glow birghter as i pressed the brake pedal and run up the back of me :s

so its a good idea to have the 3rd centred brake light

........

thanks heaps for your offers guys Paul and Al are lending me the stuff i need to clear my epa (hopefully), but if they fall through, i'll let you know if i require your help, once again... very pleased with the help and support that is offered on this forum... has alot more to show for itself then most other forums and car clubs

cheers

Ruffles mate, why dont u just swap or lease the car out to someone u trust, or even ur parents, that way when ur 21 u can drive it again, i know that is what i'd do.

I also got EPA'd last week, i know how u feel, u always say to urself "it will never happen to me." then it does. U know my friend drove his skyline round for 3 yrs on his P's, got pulled ova many times but neva got dicked for pwr/wt. If i was u just get the car registered under ur Dads name so that u can keep it... and mayb drive it if ur a good boy... or not.

All the best mate,

P.S. A lend of a stock exhaust (33gtst) is also needed my way to clear up the EPA notice, if ne1 wants to lend a hand to a fellow skyliner

So true, Eltham is starting to become hoon central unfortunatly... Eltham maccas is now almost like bell st. maccas.. according to mark it will be 24hours soon.. so that will only make things worse... and yeah ridiculous amounts of tossers around this area now.. *sigh*

I'll check at driftline if the stock catback has been returned... someone's always using it to clear epa's.

can't we just leave one with the epa? i'm sure they've caught on to the fact that every second car has the same exhaust on that they'd looked at the day before.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
