Well, Tracy and I discussed selling one of our properties today. :blink:

We just want more freedom and now is the time to sell. Anybody want a 3 bedroom house in the Mansfield Park area for $340K? :(

We're going to keep our other property ... its a much larger property. Now we have more freedom to do what we want with the extension. About to get onto the bank and a real estate agent. Mum is moving out of the house end of this month. Not much time.

Hmm ... R34 GTR Vspec :P

^Nope

Man Ruby are you pushing her out on the street ...lol ???? Slumlord king raised her rent to 500 a day to pay for his GTR..lol

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

I'm far from rich man. :D I just get a generous salary and manage my money well. I'm more asset rich than cash rich. Hence the reason to sell up. I'd love to keep the house, but I have another investment I am interested in with far greater returns and something I can retire comfortably with. Gotta start planning for the future fellas :)

easy for you to say ruby, your volvo can tow a RV pop up to sleep in...lol.....Im still going to be wadded up sleeping in the back seat of the 34 when Im retired...lol

i need some help with :

Priming the cylinders in my engine they should be coated with a light coat of oil on build ??? or assembly lube ? did that happen ? most prime by turning it over without plugs in it. a few times to pump oil into galleries on NO load. dont use synthetic oil on new engines just good quality normal oil or break in oil ?

do rb26dett oil pumps fit rb25det's no idea sorry, might try the main forum area on SAU

would there be any benefit to the above if it fitted more pressure maybe ? or reliability if its the newer style versus old one?

i have a rebuilt 26 oil pump that im thinkin of using if i can etc

cheers !

im not 100% on the build as i bought the donk as is , the bloke i got it off said the cylinders need priming before running it and to do that you have to take the sparkies out and put oil ontop of the cylinders.

ive got oil for the engine , its ulx 100 or something (cbf checking the container atm)

ill try do another search on the gtr oil pump

cheers :)

a tiny, tiny bit of oil,, not a shot glass full...lol

or it will hydro lock and bend the rods when you hit the starter, end of the motor again!!!!!

then when you do put in the plugs and it fires run it just long enough to get oil pressure(30 sec or so) then shut it off to check everything for leaks and top up the oil again after the filter fills up.

I've already done all that. I've done quite a bit in my lifetime already... and got the scars to prove it. I only have two goals left in my lifetime. I had always set myself up to semi-retire at the age of 45-50. Thats about 10-15 years away now. Have a house up the River and own and run a small fleet of houseboats as a semi-retiree, while I do some consulting for the Renmark/Mildura areas. Thats what I'm working towards now. I still want to enjoy life at a half-working capacity. I've still got plenty of time for my toys until then :)

Amazing. Looks like we're going to have a stupendously large deficit for the next 8 years thanks to Rudd n co.

Global Financial Crisis is one thing, but this is just stupid - unless the defence expansion is counted as part of that long term deficit (who knows till the budget comes out)..

Still, with 70billion in deficit, it looks like Ruddy's gonna be a one term PM.

Sux2Bus.

-D

Edit - Whoops. One too many zeros there. Heh.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
