we got our phone bill yesterday at work. the boss is not happy :( someone has been using the company phones to make excessively long calls to mobiles. one call cost us $40 :) staff are getting an ass kicking today :)

shane... how we goin to get ur car out to the photoshoot?

or can we leave urs till next yr?

yeah stuff it, leave it until next year, that way its got a better chance of being finished and not in pieces :)

Its alive!!!

my cars going. Oh and I got some iridiums now as well....

It was a dodgy wiring job. Someone had re-wired the top AFM for some reason... and it didnt work so well.

Bed time....

so we werent going crazy then with those intake pipes...what did they end up charging you? pm if u want

LOLZ, never mind :( Good to hear it's going :)

Its a looooooooooong story.....

Me and shane did some work on it which lead to a boost leak, which lead to me pulling it appart and apparently disturbing the AFM re-wire from hell which lead to me scratching my ass a few times trying to figure out what was wrong, along with missing out on driving on my own damn cruise, which then lead to a RACQ tow to the mechanics who eventually fixed it. Oh then when I drove away it still had a boost leak... Took it back, turns out the whole time there was one dodgy clamp that had had it causing the boost leaks, which lead to the wiring trouble etc....

Man im overtired atm, I should re-write that in a readable format but feeeeeeeeeh

goodnight all...

Heheheheeh "Truck" + Ian's GTR = loser mobile!!!

My car might not be a GTR, but it works!!!

Just jokes Ian, don't blow a gasket or something! (And I didn't mention Steph at all!!)

want a punch in the face :)

Haha dave, things have changed since you last saw my GTR up a mountain....

But im not one to tempt fate and dont want to get into any death runs over nebo over a grudge, so ill come out right now and say your probobly quicker then me over a mountain.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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:
