G day everyone just thought I would introduce myself and show my current project.

My ride isn't everyone's cuppa and technically isn't a skyline but has the heart of one, always loved the RB engine and my old cars so it was a simple progression.

My current project is a 1955 fj Holden that I am fitting in a RB25det, Greddy inlet manifold, high mount GTX30/76 turbo, aftermarket ecu, 5 speed gear box and a VN crumple door diff

Etc

Aiming for around 400 HP

Currently fitting up the engine etc

Most people like the idea, some don't and when asked why I say why the heck not.

Cheers

Paul

Hi and thanks for the reply

Not as yet still reading through all this info on here, man there is so much info on here I think I'll be here for weeks.

Thanks for the heads up I will have a look for that thread.

I know of a fella here in Perth that has a EH ute with a RB 25det and the thing fly's putting out around 500-550 HP.

The RB25det into a Lj torana was going to be my main project but when my old man passed on I inherited his FJ which he has had for 40 years, so now I'm boosting the old fJ now.

Got approval from Dep of transport for the conversion now just need a combination of time and money.

Now for some more reading and to search for that torana thread.

Cheers

Paul

Ah yes the LX hatch build

That's an awesome build and he has great fabrication skills and being 4x4 is just plain awesome, should handle great.

Looking forward to seeing this car on the road

Thank you for the link, will start a build thread when I get along a bit more with the project

Cheers

Paul

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.

      Barrels don't need to be shiny clean. But they are certainly nicer when they are not polluted with years of brake dust, and worse the rotting corpses of the last 17 balance weight sticky pads scattered all around.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, type a special character like ^ or | to initiate the equivalent of the "at"ing for thread links. Although, it might not get any easier to manage. Imagine 30 or 40 threads that kinda match what you want, and the one you want is lost after a long list of useless ones. The magic keyword version I proposed would be a manual effort to set up each case. More of a directed effort from the greybeards to facilitate exposure of useful content. I'm not against the auto complete stuff being considered - maybe por que no los dos? (And where I said "triggered automatically" in my OP, I meant "triggered accidentally". Of course I want it to be automatic!!)

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.
