Somebody is a railway Mech I thinks.... (right?)

This kind of thing is a pretty common sight for me. Not me in the photo, just a random interwebs pic.

Note right at the back of the motor there is a spare piston and rod. The engine casing is about 3 or 4 stories high...

Oh, its a Container ship motor. Heavy fuel oil.

Nice pics Paul; cubes+boost = WIN!:cheers:

I've been out of the game a while (used to build V16 2 stroke GM Diesels and a bit of Paxman stuff) Things look to have moved on a little! What make is that V20?

What is it you do Alex? Never really thought to ask... Or are you just in it for the seamen?:3some:

Yeah Alex, back in the rail for about a year now after a break doing allsorts of different things.

Things have moved on Dale I'm catching up now.The engine is German made by MTU 4.7 litres per cylinder 18:1 compression with 55 psi boost common rail injected 1800 rpm max. So in terms of a diesel they are a bit of a race engine.

Very nice; common rail and computer control was only becoming a reality in large engines as I was leaving that part of the industry. I did see some pretty interesting Turbo/superchargers with the GM stuff; but not those kind of boost numbers.

It was cool knowing the turbos I was balancing & building were turning at 80,000rpm with a 60 cm wide impeller. Some Napier turbo assemblies were 100,000+ rpm! All on a floating bearing too; no BB set ups.

What kind of power are they producing; I'm guessing in the 3000 odd HP bracket?

Yep pretty much on the button with the horsepower 2700 quoted.We still have a few GM power plants but phasing them out slowly, they have been great work horses.

Good stuff. Looking forward to what you've got in store for the Stagea.thumbsup.gif

Hopefully picking my car up from All Type Crash this afternoon.

Aero wing painted, Xanadu grille painted, detail including brush touch up all round. It's hard to know where to stop spending money on bodywork though - there is a very minor dent in the passenger door. I could get it pulled out, but I'll be forever freaking out about some tosser denting the door again. I always park at the opposite end of the car park or take the end park, but people always manage to get way too close still. :rolleyes:

Go and talk to your local Paintless dent removal specialist; ask them if they'll do a cash job if you remove all the trim from the door. A lot of the time it's just the gesture that they appreciate.thumbsup.gif

I had 3 small pin dents done by a great PDR guy in my area for $60.

I'd thought about this but apparently the good local guy has recently retired. Need to scout out someone decent I guess.

Rob from sinergy motorsports (adl) drive car [2005 axis/chocolate interior/v36 brakes] Thought it was pretty cool and I'd take some pics (havent seen a series 2 axis) .....don't know about the eyelids<BR><BR>post-41430-0-23872100-1321853747_thumb.jpg post-41430-0-03090400-1321853765_thumb.jpg

hmmm... wonder how he got that complied?

Looks good.

Still, wouldn't get any interior but black.

Northshore.... as a favour I hear (still cost them though).

EDIT: actually I think that was for a QLD based yard, but Northshore are offering compliance for other importers and have been for a few months now.

Oh and while I gotcha Alex, regardless of the instructions, you don't need to remove the rear water pipe when installing the kit.

Thanks Cam,

I think I saw it online in a QLD lot.

Thanks for the pro tip. That means the pathfinder cooling mod might just work then. How far through are you guys? before/after dyno? What did a GT-8 pull NA?

I agree black is nicer, Redicorp/pvp imports/sinergy motorsport in adelaide can comply m35's, they are on the raws list for m35s...i thought, god knows about 2005 axis model though :unsure:

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
