Hey Leon

How much them tires cost ya delivered as i want a set for me GTR, also i have the same R3C Clutch solid center as you got they are a brilliant clutch not hard to use at all around town, but very hard on gearboxes as my brother found out in my car... looks like a collapsed input bearing.

Cheers

I started to make a Torque Plate for torque boring and honing last night. I only got as far as decking the top down a bit to reduce the bulkyness of it.. Basically held it down to the mill with some t-blocks and cap screws through the spark plug holes. Hopefully tonight I'll have time to bore the cylinders out.. I was going to do it in the lathe on a face plate but its about 50mm too big to reach the cyls 1 and 6 in the lathe so I might do the lot in the mill with a fly cutter... Made it look like it snowed :(

Jono I didn't finish the torque plate last shift, it was real busy because of the rain, everything was breaking down so I actually had to work. I bored out 3 holes, and realised the machined surface I dialed off were actually not in the center, I sort of assumed the spark plug would be in the centre, but its not, its about 3mm off centre :( so now I have to decide whether to sleeve it, build it up with a double pulse alloy mig or scrap it and just find a alloy plate I can do it, but id like something atleast 40mm thick, and not sure we have any lying around. Here are some pics..

I bolted it down to the table

Then I used a finger dial to dial up off a machined surface where the spark plug goes... turns out it wasn't centre, and my night shift drowsyness didn't notice, and being half slack to do the job i didn't bother measuring. Using the finger dials was easy to get the head setup within 0.01mm or 0.0004"

Then the final result which is just crap, Im so pissed off haha but I will work something out

Also purchased some JJR R33 rear traction rods and Toe rods yesterday. Also rang driftshop about some D-project tie rods. Waiting for them to get back to me. If anyone has any good quality tie rods and extra lock rose joint ends with adjustable bump steer please let me know, I'm keen for some even if they are second hand.

Still been slack, gotta call nissan and order a shitload of shims for the diff to set the preload and backlash in diff before that can go in, and still gotta brace the rear cradle and paint it, then I can setup the rear end and fit the GTR guards to get the 11.5" wheels sitting nice :(

hey man, I'm going for similar wheel width on my 32. I've already got a rear half of a gtr shell so I'll get the guards off that but I have been wondering how to make them even further out, very interested to see how you've done it. Also I was thinking about using a 33 subframe for a while.. but I decided not to as it would make it even harder to fit wide wheels, just wondering why you chose to put the wider subframe in when you're tryna fit wider wheels.

Cheers,

Grant

Hey,

Im thinking of machining up a steel roller to go on the guard roller in place of the original nylon one, and heat the guard with the oxy and flare it out with the steel wheel on guard roller... if that fails and it looks terrible ill use small over flares... dont really want to though.

Im using the r33 cradle to get it up closer to the chassis and better geometry on the arms. I have a complete spare cradle with diff and all if your interested..

Cheers

      And also there were for sale scams and the like. For sale posts need piccies, and not having piccies makes it harder to do a driveby scam.

      And I forgot to add my *** footnote to the above post, which was that the pipework mods would be even more significant than what had to be done for the highflow. So just add that onto the list. Pipework mods are no killer, just made the tasklist longer at a time when extra tasks were not welcome.

      I mean he could post them to imgur or the like and create a link. But yeah, spam bots absolutely will post pictures in their first posts.

      Ah ok, reason I asked was for the sake of not having to upgrade everything if the turbo couldn't be capped.

      pffft! My alignments are starting to take 3-4 weeks each. Bugger overnight - that would be a dream! Overnight is when I leave it on stands with the rear suspension in pieces, hoping I can remember where I was at when I come back to it. I have to set the car up on a level surface so I can get decent camber measurements, then try to set the RUCAs to the right length to get that right. Then I have to put the car somewhere else where I have enough room to set up the bumpsteer gauge (laser, paper, mirror), so I can dial out that. Then I need to go measure camber again because changing the tension arm length affects that also. Then I need to measure toe, and I can't do that to my own satisfaction at home, so I have to put it on an actual aligner. Then I have to go back and fix the camber again, and if that took more than a half a turn, decide if I want to set up the bumpsteer measurements again. I previously had the bumpsteer almost completely banished and then I started changing things again! And that's only the rear end. Not even gotten to talking about the front yet. And this has been going on in the context of me discovering a seized bolt in the LHR FUCA bush at the upright, hence needing total disassembly to replace that bush and the others that were not far away from the same outcome, replacing sphericals in the front end and making a mistake that resulted in needing to do it again, which is only half done right now. It's a selfmade nightmare. Only have self to blame, etc etc. But regardless, I am so complelely unable to utilise the services of a normal wheel aligner that I have no choice. I haven't found a shop in my city that does "race" alignments - and by that I don't mean I want my car to be set up for racing, but the set of adjustments that I have available and that need to be used to do the alignment are the same as you'd find on a race car. I haven't looked everywhere, but there doesn't appear to be the equivalent of the motorsport focused shops that are present in Sydney and Melbourne. And such an alignment would cost $300, and you only want to do it once in a while, and you don't want to find out that you have to replace bushes and bearings and such while you are spending that $300 so you have to come back and spend it again a week later. So I stay living in my self made nightmare for the moment.
