just washed mine after a run up the mountain on wednesday (was fithly after it)

got a hose onto it and gave the underside a good spray

i cant belive how much mud/dirt/rocks there were stuck under the side skirts and hiding away in the rear bumper

i reckon about 20kg of dirt came off the underside and i dont think it was all from that one trip

Well picked up my first stag yesterday 97 model and has 25t xfour written on the back got cream leather interior the satelite navigation tv screen in it has a full 3.5 inch TBE and hks turbo timer also has 18inch rims look like volks of some sort but gotta pull them off and have a look and the best part is I picked it up

for two grand with 8 month rego any how will be going in next week to have a new crossmember put in as the one in it is twisted and also will be getting a FMIC and injectors and eboost 2 put in and then have a tune done so will let you know how it all goes.

nice 1.

finished with the stagea for now. last mod was the r32 gtr front calipers. 249rwkw.

working on doing up a r32 4door gtst sedan, with r30 manual & rb26dett engine.

excited. boat finally brought my container.

tomorrow get to p/up stich mags ($30 pound!).... these will hopefully fit the stagea

grex camshafts, spats strut bar, 6-point roll cage

exhaust temp sensor, turbo timer, bride left hand seat rail

bride drivers chair, apexi power intake piping kit

got all the parts for the rb26 buildup in the cupboard now:

hks oil pump, hks step 2 cam springs, n1 water pump, acl race bearings

hks 87mm pistons, attkd rods, arp bolts, arp main head studs

cometic street pro full gasket kit incl 87mm mls head gasket

tomei sump baffle pickup kit, tomei oil gallery orifice, ati harmonic balancer

greddy timing belt, new idler/tensioner, adjustable intake/exhaust cam pulleys

30-row engine oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, turbo oil cooler

hks split dump pipes, obx tuned-length manifolds, obx front pipe system, decat flex pipe

fitted wilwood superlite forged 4-piston calipers with 324mm drilled rotors up front.

got to install the external fuel pump and fuel surge tank system, then attack the exhaust

and sort out the seats, weld in roll cage and add to it, fill the belt/seat mounts in (eventually rego for 2seater?)

I changed the timing belt and caused the check engine light to come on.... :D

^^^ oh........pull the globe it will be fine!!! lol

speaking of pulling globes... kidafa not that long ago changed his dash to blue LED's... and didnt put his petrol light globe in properly...

needless to say he got a rather decent mileage to that tank...:D:D

Yesterday:

Hacked up the CF-look centre console plastic to graft an R34 manual shift console onto. But 50% done. All cutting/trimming is done, now I just need to plastic weld it all together and bog up the gaps. Later it all gets covered with some real CF. :bunny: Should be finished by early June.

Touched up/puttied and resprayed my front Aero type M bar.

While I had the bar off, refitted the electric fan in front of the a/c condenser.

Had to remove the FMIC to refit the fan, so I also discovered a 10mm size hole in the intercooler, from a bolt on the chassis rubbing thru. :thumbsup: Fixed it up, refitted and test drove it after. Bit more responsive now :banana:

In the next fortnight, I'll be upgrading my brakes to a 325mm kit. :banana:

    • OK. But what about parts of the block that, when assembled, were twisted into a position that pushed into the void space, which, when disassembled, then released that force and opened back up, thus putting the grout into tension? Would effectively just pull the cast iron off the grout at the interface, leaving a tiny void and benefitting not much at all. Swings, and roundabouts. It's like putting something tiny into the fleshlight and finding out you needed a smaller one, to perhaps follow your area of expertise.
    • Nah. You buy a kit that has shorter tubes.
    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.
