Ok because that was the bit i didnt want :P

In Julius's car they make a weird clunking noise... Not sold on that, sounds like somethings wrong!

The ones in the photos are fitted to my own car. Absolutely no clunking whatsoever.

His car had a clunk when I drove it, we thought it was the CV as he'd split the boot.

Definitely not the links though.

Cheers, Dale

Really? He told me it was the links, so i was going to get everything but.

Perhaps he has an issue with his, or they need tightening. Mine are completely silent. They've been on since 21/1/11. I'm pretty picky about rattles & squeaks.

Perhaps he's using the Spherical ball joint type: these do rattle a little, and are not recommended for Street driven cars. I was sure he was using the same type as mine.

I would never recommend anything that I wouldn't fit to my own car.

Cheers Dale. I'm in for the full package. Thanks again for a tremendous effort. As I said previously, I'd be happy to receive all stuff for whoever's in Adelaide and drop it off to people's houses or getém picked up from mine if that saves anyone any money. Let's see what's gonna be interest form SA folks like and if it actually can save any cash. Cheers again, well done!

No worries Igor, looks like it's going to be a big one, hopefully Whiteline see the interest this has created, and decide to make even more parts for us!:thumbsup:

Thanks for the kind offer, we'll see what freight is going to cost to S.A. and what people want to do, we'll go from there.

Cheer, Dale.

Hello Guys,

The part that was making the clunk sound was not the links or the bars them self, It was the brackets on the inside of the Bushes to stop lateral excess movement.

Ben took them off yesterday to see if it made a difference, but the clunk still persists so it's not the brackets, but I will investigate further.

It was not present for the first week I had them, then just appeared, we suspected it was the CV but that is now fixed.

It's not huge just noticeable.

Cool. If that's the case put me down for the whole package. Having just got home from Sydney, I'm keen on the whole sway bar setup and a set of coilovers! So floaty at cruising speed...

Hey daleo and mr whitline

is there a discount on the links if you buy the whole set front , rears and links

keen for the whole lot regardless

and your mounts , keen for the whole lot , let me know the price and alsoe between you and whitline would it be easier for me to get you to get it and ship to nz

or can they hook me up with BnT in New Zealand for pick up but still get the group buy discount

daleo can i post up a link to the NZ skylines web site see if any one here is keen ?

Ok gentlemen, I've got prices; I think you're going to like this...

PLEASE CHECK THE REVIEWED PRICING:

Front 32mm Blade adjustable; RRP; $320. Group Buy price; $235

Rear 20mm Blade adjustable; RRP $285. Group Buy price; $210

So the front bar has to go from $210 to $235, and the rear bar has to go to $210.

All other prices remain the same.

Rear Heavy Duty Ball Link Adjustable; RRP $175. Group Buy price; $115

Heavy duty Stainless Upper Link Mounts; $60

I think you'll agree, these are frankly Incredible prices, and once again, big thanks to Wayne for his industry contacts.

I'll be doing the formal group buy later tonight, but obviously if you want in, send me a PM or reply in the thread.

Cheers, Dale

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
