Thats a bit harsh , I would let him drive the Tiida but it would be a bit too powerful for him, well he has not driven for a while as the Whale has been beached for a long ,long time, well many times, LOL

I am sure Paulie will be feeling much better today as we all had a quiet one yesterday after a mad first day.

Once I knew I would not get the car before Xmas I was OK, I just found hat being treated like a mushroom is F**king maddening :(

Happy new year mate,

Feck I wouldn't let paulie anywhere near your vehicles.. He's renowned for breaking shit and having no mechanical sympathy :) haha

Hopefully they sort their shit out and get the job done, like I said from the start nothing happens quick in this industry

Haha, who broke Paulies car :P

Nah man. Just stirring.

It's just funny that the thread is about prep required for 2630 build, and that block still isn't ready for a 26 head. So technically they could still put a 30 head on it and use it for a customers rb30 build. I don't think it would happen.

They will just say they will fit the head and then tap for the tensioner if you ask them.

Hi Ben, happy new year !

They are back at work and I will ask them about what you have said about the tensioner .

Don't stress man.

It will all work out eventually!

No stress mate , you made an observation and I have asked the builder and lets see what they say, I know SFA about what you said, but like everything else on this site , I listen to what is said, ask others and go from there, thanks for your input :)

has the factory machined surface next to tensioner.

Yes, it's better to run the higher idler, but not necessary.

Also, depending on the machine shop, turn around times vary greatly.

When i had my 30 done initially, was in and running in 2 months.

But, I had to dick around with exhaust and such(getting it towed here and there, etc).

Some machinists get backed up themselves and can take a couple of months.

The people I use have an approx turn around of 2 weeks on a bottom end.

Head work obviously takes different times.

But....

It could all be done(theoretically) at the same time.

As you said, a well equipped shop, that carries out these jobs for a living could do it in 1-2 months.

But as already mentioned, they overbook because they don't like saying no.

And once the engine is out, it's alot harder for you to just say that's it, and collect the car and go elsewhere.

It's a shame really.

I'd prefer to be told no, and given an alternative book in date further down the track, then keep getting stalled and impatient.

Anyway, hope it's coming along well.

Also hope mines ready by mid February, but doubt it due to crank and funds.

A little more done but stopped again, so I have no idea when they intend to get serious and finish the job, I do not stress about it BUT I do get pissed off when you cannot get an answer to the question "when will it be finished" , easy enough to answer , but nothing , the mushroom :)

Hmmmmmm.

They are running the tensioner below the water pump.

That typically causes issues with timing scatter due to the longer belt length flapping around.

Don't worry though, I'm sure they are planning on selling you a crank trigger setup to fix it.....,.

Ben, I am not sure if I want to know this, haha

It is great having you and the other blokes keeping an eye on this for me.

Do you think I should mention this to them and see what they say.

Why would they do this when it would have been easier to do it properly in the first place. Could it be they think what they are doing is better??

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
