I'll see how I go, Haven't touched the sump yet, it still needs a fitting welded into it for the oil drain but I have to clean the thing first, its a mess and full of sludge etc.

Have to work out whats happening with the Intake cam. I have one cam cap that stops the cam from turning, another one is a little tight but the cam still spins, other then that it spins beautifully. Exhaust cam is fine, so not sure how 1 out of 14 cam caps is so bad. Not sure what I'm going to do about it yet

Just talked to the guy I got the head off, said the cam caps might have got mixed up which would explain why I have 2 that are tight, look offset towards the intake side a little, so hopefully he can find the othes otherwise the caps will have to get skimmed and line bored

I'm about 90% sure that they are stamped with numbers so it shouldn't be too hard to get the right ones.

It really sucks that they were mixed up though, that's a big no-no, makes the head neary useless without expensive machining.

Oh yeah, they are all stamped with their position. But I4 and I2 are tight and the guy I bougth them off had two engines/heads apart at the same time so hopefully they just got mixed up from 1 head to the other and he can find them, will be the easiest and cheapest fix.

These things happen but, I suppose when the time comes I'll have to see whats cheaper - a new head or line boring mine

Got some Nissan bits today, nothing to exciting but necessary all the same.

Had a play with some wrinkle paint today:

Think I'll go with this on the intake manifold, but think I'll just keep the cam covers a flat paint job.

Where did you get the wrinkle paint from, Callan? I gotta paint my plenium and covers too. Any variaty of colours?

I got black wrinkle paint from repco (auto barn was sold out of black and only had red) these are the only two colours I saw. I just did the wrinkle black and then painted silver engine enamel over the top. Hopefully the Plenum will look like a genuine Greddy when I'm done

Things seem to be coming together all of a sudden, instead of one problem after another lol. Going to work out the compression ratio in the next few days. Going to be alot of screwing around to work it out but I guess you get that :)

Ordered my Hypergear turbo today, looks like it will shoot over 300rwkw on 98 and 350rwkw on E85 (when that gets here) but its a pretty experimental turbo at the moment so just have to wait and see. But I think I'll be less disapointed then i was with the HKS Turbo I'll put it that way :)

6boost jake.. they do hi mount aswell. i can source a high mount similar style and quality for around 850 for a 20/25

A 6boost for that price? Or just same style?

Well I'm after a new head now. Going to be too much hassel to fix up the 2 cam caps that don't match

Can never be to sure :P

someone told me before I bought the 6boost that It should only cost 850ish but I had to pay more, so was wondering if I was just looking in the wrong places

6Boost have never been under $1000 to my knowledge

Has anyone else seen that grey GT-R getting around? I've seen it twice now, 1 time just north of the Forgan bridge then the other at night on Slade pt road.. I have a feeling it lives at Sladey. My god it's sexy.

I'd be after a lowmount for a rb25det but need to save some pennies first...

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
