Me too Andy, roll on weekend for the mock up!

Lets see how good my measuring is... Only other issue I can think of, is that the rotor radius may not fit fully inside the caliper.

Apologies to those who get annoyed with conversations, but did the bleeder valves fit your stock brakes Dale?

So I might be able to make some more money fitting it for them?whistling.gif

you could try fitting it up to a sump that's not on a car atmwhistling.gif

You know where it is?

I actually bought them for my new calipers (R32GTR), which are M10, so yes, but the stock rears are an M6 so; no.

Nice; thanks for the offer Craig, hadn't thought of that, was just going to check gasket compatibility as I'm going to need one anyway.

Anyone feel like doing a FAST search on the sump gasket part number? VQ35 and VQ25det?

Apologies for on/off/on/off topic chat... I think?cheers.gif

No apologies needed, gents - the chat is all related to mods you're doing or are about to do.

Today I got this in the mail (because I'm a lazy mofo and don't really like getting my hands dirty):

if you hit it, it would come off.

but the sump plug is at an angle and probably wouldnt come down further than the actual sump itself

this is true.

Are we 14mm?

picked up some new NGK iridium LFR7AIX spark plugs, i had bought 6's instead of 7's and they were limiting my power :( all 6 = $82

also bought 3 quarts of Red Line Gear oil for the Diffs apparently grade 5 shock proof, not that i know what it is. 3 quarts = $75

from perfomanceLUB... guys pretty cheap! after seeing my car i think he wants a stagea lol

    • Well some mostly good news and some slight bad news.  Good news is cylinder 6 did in fact only require a honing and I'm good to run my 86.5mm pistons again. I should also get the block back by end of week. Bad news, had a few surprises pop up. First, main and rod bearings were trashed. No sign of any heat damage. I knew right away what caused this... I had not packed my oil pump originally and spent a lot more time than I would have liked cranking the motor to get oil pressure. It sounded fine once started so I chucked it up to luck and forgot about it. Luckily rod and crank are fine and just need new bearings. Engine builder agreed that this was the cause.    Another surprise that carbon covered up very well that I didn't catch, something got sucked up and went through cylinder 1, 2 and 3. Luckily this was no cause for concern, just needed a bit of cleaning up. Valves look fine but he will vacuum test the head this week to confirm. I'm presuming this was something left over from welding my intercooler piping, but we'll never know. I'm going to thoroughly reclean everything.    So all in all, happy the motor is fine, and I'll get it back much sooner than expected. I'll also be taking the time to convert my WMI system over to direct port. I'll snap some pictures of that when the parts come in. 
    • I understand, thanks. Yeah I wouldn't want the car to tip over, I'll try and use the sills, I don't want to risk smashing the chassis rails. I ordered some rubber pucks that have a hopefully big enough slotting. If the front right gives me trouble I can always just make a wood block. I'll measure and inspect the sills closer once I actually take the car up. I hope so, but the rubber blocks I had in hand so far were pretty damn firm, if they are that hard they won't give much way. I'll let you know what happens. Angle grinding rubber isn't one of my favorite tasks. I'll probably start a build thread soon, for my own documentation and "log" as well as sharing what's going on with the car.
    • Kinda something I have been thinking about.  To be honest, we bought it already driving like that.  So there's no telling how long it actually has been driving like this.  Hopefully damage is too bad when we drop the pan.   I am having a hard time finding a site that sells the solenoid for the 5 speed auto, do you have any suggestions?
    • That'll be most likely down the road...  LOL  
    • a stock / option or aftermarket?
