good day guys. SAU vic could have done with more cars like what we had last year but was still a great day and display. was also a good farewell to the car with its last display with sau :laugh:

Scott and John was great to meet you guys. and John will take you up on the offer to use your warehouse :unsure: and also help when it comes time for me to start tracking and my own build.

great day all in all...for what i was there for lol.

Ash

yeah wicked weekend, thanks al for all your help! great job mate.

i tried getting my pics but the flash drive is failing, i'll try again in the morning from a different computer.

bez u gotta get me some of your shots! thanks for looking out for all the cars with the drunks at night and rude people cutting though, good job.

cheers guys, see you on the GOR

Thanks again Shane, for entering your car and donating your boot to store my esky ;)

Had a blast mate and see you on GOR :laugh:

PS: I left my two stubbie holders in your car, i grab them at GOR.

PSS: Hopefully you work thing out with you room mate; all the best.

Scott and John; wicked car fellas. Absolutely a work of art and engineering, if it drives as well as it looks, it's going to be a weapon. Congrates!! :thumbup: Thanks also for the chance to sit in both cars, gave me a good idea how i would feel with a race seat and cage in my 33. Still feel a little guilty for having a sit in the 32, before John :unsure:, but i did it only when Scott was there and he gave permission, so blame him. :D Congrates on winning "Best of show" and "Best engine bay"; both well deserved trophies.

No probs Shaun.. haha.. so many fkn drunks. they couldnt see me at night so it was an advantage.. WICKED WEEKEND!!! ive got the full quality pictures Shaun i put them on facebook.. but u know how facebook reduces shit. i'll see if i can post up some here.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
