works fine with a lift pump

As long as the stupid 5/16" inlet / outlet hardpipes are removed, as this really is the entire problem with the factory GTR top hats.

They’re gone, is -8 now 

Yeah I saw. 👍 These factory 5/16" OD hard lines have cost me 3 x cracked fuel tanks from pressurisation with a surge tank setup. Not to mention never, ever use the R32 fuel pump cradle return line to put fuel back at the pump - it goes to about 4mm.

Bin it.

Yesterday I finished work early and decided to play with the car for a little bit, was just going to drain the oil and water and pull the gear stick out, next thing I knew the gear box was on the ground (well on my arm which was on the ground) and most of the engine was undone B95609D8-9DA1-4F96-81AD-B862782ADBE2.thumb.jpeg.7013e83eca463371f29998f20f5ff3ca.jpeg259C7551-5656-4717-8527-243EB4CF373E.thumb.jpeg.059d269ca284ce309c4736c23b70b931.jpeg

Last night I wasn’t sure if I had done some serious damage to my arm or not, I woke up this morning at it was still sore but still able to move it so guess it’s ok. 

today i decided to take an rdo cause I was super keen on getting work done on the car, I pulled the clutch off, pull the front shafts and undid the mounts and pulled it out and threw it on a stand 124A8802-A101-4A19-A112-EC2F017459EC.thumb.jpeg.67936a22a6314fbcda169e8fb85be538.jpegthat engine bay is a mess, I plan on fixing that while the engine is out

Started pulling the engine down today and everything looks clean without any sludge and etc, got the head off and after you turned the gasket over you could see the gasket had blown between 6 and the exhaust side water gallery.

Unfortunately that turned out to be the least of my problems and so far I’ve found 3 cracks in the deck of the block between 2 of the head bolt holes and water jackets so it’s a bin job and the search begins 😞91C7C94F-328C-4A38-9F9B-6EFE092FAD51.thumb.jpeg.7371cc8cf57351daf9a64443458984bc.jpeg42C3225D-5A21-4245-A784-E2CD38E68CAC.thumb.jpeg.8ffd7ac1039faf86f3f28a049f8a5893.jpeg

You want a RB25DET NEO AWD bottom end? has CP pistons in it and Manly rods, ARP mains, ACL race dis dat.

Apparently Hermit at PRP reckons its strong.

Herd some of those 23u rb25 blocks are bettter then 26 blocks in terms of strength and thickness etc

Has it been bored?

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
