do i know you? haha.

Prolly not, i remember when you first had it in the bridge before you migrated to mannum. Parked out on the road behind the cop shop, mostly in it. Pretty sure your old mans the cop there. Whenever a new import floats around i always take notice...

ah ok.

are you in mannum? or the bridge?

just trying to figure out what car you have and if ive seen it before.

Out past palmer, maybe you've seen the black 32 with the dented back end with the boot tied closed with rope?

ah yeah ive seen it.

that was michaels wasnt it? lives just around the corner from me?

what happened to it to get so dented up?

That was his, it broke down on palmer road and som c**ts kicked it in or something. That's my second 32, i had my first one when i was working at Domino's, so long ago.

ah ok, how stuffed is your first one?

get a 32gtr, i was going to get one if i sold the onevia, still might if i eventually sell it.

should be decent with the new wheels, ive added a heap of other stuff to it since its been off the road, should be going a lot better then before.

Rear quater needs panel beating and a pesky regency needs to come off. It's a lot better than mikes' although i was aware of how he drove it. I wanted it for the wheels and gtr kit, was going to put a new motor in it.

I'll look forward to seeing your progression with her, normally see her parked in random places. It's nice to see a rarer import driving round, especially in a small town.

yeah, the wheels on mikes were fairly new anyway, so they would have been fine. after hearing it drive past my house a few times it got me wondering what was going on with it, it was making some pretty weird noises at times.

if i see ya around ill give ya a wave!

Wow it sucks still being sick :thumbsup: I had a week of holidays, first in a long time, and was sick for all of them :)

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
