Johno did you realise your crank has been modified? The counterweights have recieved a bit of attention. When balanced it was spot on, the balancer seems to think it was done in Japan as he was suitably impressed with the workmanship and precision. Unsure of what had exactly been done as im getting this info 2nd hand off my machinist. Will speak directly to balancer Monday and find out more info for you.

Bit of an Update, parts have been balanced, bored, ported etc etc..

Paul advised the head recieved a stage 3 port job, crank was perfect and didnt require any attention.. assembly should take another week or so.

Wow, looking good Paul port job looks amazing..

Hope your feeling better to mate,

much rather watching a mill than watching a heart rate monitor.

The port job is top-notch and an absolute bargain considering its $500 more normally for that level of work.

I knew you would like it, photo's barely do it justice.

Paul, thanks again for all the hard work mate. You've been extremely helpful even with all my silly little questions. Thanks mate really appreciate it.

I cant get over the port job, its bloody impressive!

Will let you know how it all turns out.. I've changed direction with the project. The motor will be going in a GTR as soon as I find the right one.

Cheers

Johno

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to more wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Butters · Posted

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.

      I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
