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

[The Mafia]

Why is the cam like that?

Will you have to get it line bored or something?

[89CAL]

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

[The Mafia]

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.

[89CAL]

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.

[Robi33]

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

[Robi33]

Ah, righto... That sucks. Gotta decide what colour I want... Don't want too much black. Might just go blue covers and a black plenium.

Why Hello:

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

[dysonest]

lookin good.... will be better in the car

[Spicymouse]

Might have already been said but where can i get that exhaust manifold? looks amazing

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

[dysonest]

SAME STYLE AS IT SAYS

[89CAL]

SAME STYLE AS IT SAYS

Can never be to sure

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

[89CAL]

Yeah thats what I thought, someone told me they could get one for under $1000, from memory they only do 4cyl manifolds for those prices

[Seano350GT]

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.

[89CAL]

32?

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