Ben's R32 Gtst Build

[Marlin]

Speak when you're spat at!

[sav man]

I took the caster rods out last night, they are rooted. The steel sleave in the drivers side bush just falls out, and the passengers side has a 2mm gap all the way round. We thought the bushes were stuffed, but didn't realise how bad they were.

[Marlin]

Brand? Were they fresh prior to Tugga?

[sav man]

Some unknown and unused things. They are blue. We have found some nultec ones laying around, so we'll give them a crack. If not i'll just put some genuine nissan ones in.

[Marlin]

How will you adjust if you use the genuine ones mate?

[Rowdy]

bushes

Not adjust them, I think them not moving is better than being able to adjust them. When Berry was down a few years ago, he was saying how much better new genunine bushes are then whiteline etc

[sav man]

time for a big picture update. Engine is almost ready to roll

ARP Studs installed

Head back where it belongs

Damo and I took to the exhaust ports with a die grinder.

Most of the stuff is bolted back up to it now, and the block in nice and silver.

Aim is to have it ready for the Legerwood Lane hillclimb on the 29th.

What are you doing for oil management in the head?

Are you installing the usual drain where the welsh plug goes in the back of the head down to the sump?

[sav man]

I've blocked one of the oil galleries, and fitted a 1.3mm restrictor to the other one (as per sydney kids guide). Not running a external return from the head at this stage, as most poeple that have done it found it doesn't drain very well. I have also put rb26 cam covers on to help the oil/air separation.

Looks good Ben,

[sav man]

[zebra]

[sav man]

[zebra]

Angry good or Angry as in "I'm an RB I dont like having bearings inside of me"?

LOL

[sav man]

[sav man]

How easy does it stretch? ie does it go on and off easy, so you can work on the car?
