I've been saving up my 'out with the boys' time up for the coming events. You know how it is .... the missus only puts up with so much so I take a bit of time off then hammer the car thing - ie. drags Sunday (hopefully), dyno day in a couple of weeks then drags on the 31st.

Matt, where's my magic card? :P

Matt,

Happy b'day for the other day mate :D

Good luck on Sunday too. Probably won't make it (family stuff on - see Andy's 'out with the boys' comment) plus a few of my engine bits are missing & in the process of being made 'slightly reflective', by me (I have sore hands) :)

Whats this!!!? Couldn't put up with all that fast food heh?

Stick to the Herbs baby.You know you want too.

BTW - I am mourning the loss of my new R33 street car.the oil pump is busted & the engine is out again!!! Oh well, might get to cruise in it one day - in the meantime the race car is a priority so will have to concentrate on that in order to get to the 31st May meeting & try & get the title back from Keir.

See everyone at the Drags on Sunday - might just be watching for a change!

    • Should be close enough. Noting that 88Nm is equivalent to 2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there.
    • Cant find a torque spec in the R32 gtr manual  But there is one in the silvia manual Not sure if it's the same
    • And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.
    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
