lol

[TiTAN]

that should help the lap times any track in 0 seconds flat. going to be pretty hard to beat your PB though.

[zebra]

well it should do 0-88mph in around 8-9secs lol

lol flux capacitors.....one day mine will see the sunlight again.

stay away from the cheap willwood callipers they are poor quality and flex like crazy. obviously their expensive stuff is as good as anyone else's expensive stuff.

the only brakes i would spend money on for a budget build are the ksport/d2/g4/whatever 8 piston ones. I have 3 sets of them on different cars, they are excellent

Thanks Dunc

Ive never seen the cheap Wilwood's up close..they look ok on paper...but that doesnt mean much these days lol.

[Duncan]

Ask neil...he runs a set on his radical. they are OK on that but it weighs 400kg not 1400....

Cool,

I picked up my forklift motor from Matty on Sunday, So ill be getting stuck into it as soon as I can get it out of the boot of the Cressida lol.

[Prue]

Getting it out last night was fun

[TiTAN]

3 man power?

[zebra]

nup...just the 2 of us....trying to find an engine crane to buy now....as there is no way of getting onto the stand by just lifting it

[TiTAN]

only 2 people, thats a fair effort

[zebra]

yeah im a weapon lol

[Prue]

Yeah.. I just kind of kept it steady lol

[NZM.031]

thats more than my partner did... she just stood back and told me when i was clear of the radiator support.... she didnt even help push the car back into the garage.

good work.

I've lifted a gtr gearbox ad carried it about 8m. Almost died.

Cranes aren't that expensive, the club has one for use by members, if the distance is too far maybe go to supercheap?!

[zebra]

I forgot about the club crane...thanks steve

Im gonna pull the motor down on the floor, it will be easy enough to get a bare block onto the stand once its being decked and hot tanked.

Linton - you need a new partner lol

haha... nah shes alright ... i forgot to add in that little story, that the lifting strap i was using i nicked from work... and it was in the "do not use" box with a danger tag on it... and the carport roof was under a little bit of stress with a 200kg RB swinging around... so... she was the smart one and stood well back..

she doesnt bat an eyelid to any of my stupid ideas... like taking a perfectly good, registered and driving r32 off the road for 2 years to completly ruin it and make it an undriveable cop.

to get my engine off the stand and onto the back of my ute... i wedged a support in under a beam in our carport (35x70 non structual pine), threw a chain around a couple of the joists and and lifted the engine with a block and tackle... backed the ute under it and lowered it down onto the back.. it took all of 3 min and no dramas... the carport was stressing a little, but nothing major, it was all over in a short period.. i removed the stand attachment while it was on the ute...

im sure you could do this in reverse.. bolt the stand attachment on to the engine on the ground... then lift it up and slot it straight into the engine stand.. take 2 secs.

[zebra]

hhahah sounds like it was a lot of fun.

[zebra]

I may try and get the sump off tonight, but my tool box is 100ks away so I've only got a few spanners kicking about so i dont like my chances lol.

[TiTAN]

that many bolts with a spanner, you are nuts.
