harsh these times are adjustable im just trying to get an idea of when people would like to do it, i myself am a fan of night, it would be a bit cooler then aswell and people would be finishing work and coming down, i mean saturday is good aswell but i tend to sleep in, as i would rather go out at night. just getting an idea of how many people to expect, so we can accomodate for them, ie. if there are 20 or more cars coming then we will look into closing down the street so we could set up a small show and shine aswell and possibly hand out prizes for best looking car. i should be getting an exact date in around a weeks time as the owner is moving into a larger factory next door, so more details are on the way.

also im not sure of how other workshops do it but are the cars dynoed inside or outside?

Your organising a big one by the sounds of all the arrangments you thinking. The RE customs dyno nit i went he had the dyno in his usual dyno spot and dynoed the cars there. ie inside the workshop. Outside will be too much work for everyone invovled in the set up. Keep it simple and let us know about the date and time and i am sure a lot of people will rock up no matter when it is..

SO..cant wait for the it to happen.... :ninja:

thanks for the feedback harsh, i hope we have a good turnout! ;) where not trying to organise a big one well im not sure what you classify BIG, but were just trying to organize one that will run smoothly. im also running this poll on a couple other forums so that we don't have gtr after gtr after gtr on the dyno, a couple Silvia, xr6 turbos and ls1 commodores. and we have organized some muscle cars coming down, so it should be a good event. i would be happy with a turnout of 40 cars but im not entirely sure how we will end up running on time. where looking at 3 runs eachso it will go for a while. :ninja:

Sounds big enough to me... :P ...the time factor depends on how many guys are working at the workshop helping speed the process...i remember at RE customs the owner and 2 to 3 other guys where working...and couple on the desk handling cash and giving numbers to the participants...so fair amount of guys will be needed to speed it through...think max 5 to 10 min a dyno if everything goes smootly...even less... :)

Have you worked out the cost involved?

Regards,

dazza

hi darren no cost has been worked out atm. just waiting on the workshop to get back to me with the go ahead to relese more details. will let you know when i find out.

george

    • 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!
