I'll make it back to a (pancake) duck meet one day

You gotta new car yet?

Just picked up my new SSRs :angry: They're kinda farked (gutter rash, little dings) but should be easy enough to repair.

And Thuy says hi Hamish :P

Pics when on car.

When I can sell my f*cking Supra I'll get tyres and put the wheels on the car.

I've dropped my price by $2500 now and still no bites.

That will teach you to buy a N/A Supra.

:P

Good luck selling it, you'd need it.

neways are pretty cheap and well good at repairing gutter rash

That's who Nick suggested. I don't know when I'd find the time or a transport car to get over to their shop though :P

Is there any decent places in Dandenong?

But how bad is it? I have rash on mine that I bought for a steal from Thuy, it doesn't bothe me at all...

how did u win that gorgeous thing, pat?

haha entered into an employee competition (i work at cadbury)

Lucky for me, everyone is too busy working to bother with the competition :cool:

Opening it up, its actually 5x 2kg blocks. Which makes sense cause the production line isnt setup to create such a huge block! (cadbury blocks made in tasmania)

You can buy them from here;

Some scratches are pretty deep and there are some actual dings.

Plus I want every aspect of the car to be looking 100% (hence why I bought all new plastics, lights etc. when I didn't really need to) so yeah, I'll be anal about these wheels too.

    • 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:
