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.

should the pulley stud on the front of the block be able to be removed? i tried taking it out of mine and got fooking nowhere but left some nice groves on it

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

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
