Hi

I missed out on Sydneykids kit but he was good enough to refund the money

Bit of a mix up with courier arriving and me away. Wife too.

Hope to get some of his other gear later.

Sydneykid has some great posts

after selling us shit engines..maybe he doesn't wnan show his face ne more.

Did you ever recieve or go ahead with the engine? I remember hearing/seeing you saying something about wanting an engine, but it took ages to get done (could've been someone else).

You say 'shit engines' so I assume you got it?

Sydneykid has contributed heaps to this site.

Infact Felix paid $8000AUD, he could've converted that to NZD last year and go just over $10k :action-smiley-069:

which is the starting rate for a RIPS forged package :S

RB30 Bare forged bottom ends (short block), start at NZD$10,450 (suit minimum 750hp and 8000 rpm) Ripsltd.co.nz

oh well, you live and learn, could've paid a bit extra and gone to RIPS for an RB30, as for suspension and brakes and other things SydneyKid definitely knows what he is doing, I can definitely see why Felix is pretty pissed, that's a lot of money :S

    • Yep, the plan is to do some work in Japan, as I mentioned above possibly keeping it there longer than November 2025. Frankly, I'm not dealing with TopRank ever again and, because my car is no longer with them, I could work with BBL/GY directly👍 But alas, I'm not looking at major bodywork just yet.
    • Yeah I had the probes on the battery terminals.  Sounds good. What reading should I expect to see in a car that runs well? 
    • I went for the scissor lift option, gives a 3ft lift at full lift. I wanted a 2 post but my concrete wasn't deep enough to secure it properly
    • Depending on exactly where that voltage is being measured, that is most likely the battery is f**ked. If the multimeter probes are on the battery's own terminals, then it is f**ked. If they are on the car's terminals, then there is a bad connection. Either are fatal to the attempt to start it. Literally just put it on the 20VDC range, put one probe on the battery's -ve terminal (ideally not the car's terminal) and the other on the block somewhere exposed/metal, like an engine mount bolt head. You can also test the earth lead is steps, so from battery to body earth, body earth to engine connection point, engine connection point to some other spot on the engine, to see if you can isolate where a shit connection actually is.
    • I meant to write 50 originally and then double checked the price and found it was ¥12m (125k) and came to edit it and realized I had accidentally added and extra 0 in the first place lol
