After grieving his losses with two separate and substantial share investments, dezz decides to mourn by way of purchasing a severely depreciating asset

Might start my sparky apprenticeship soon

  • Like 2

black is a lot of work. dont recommend unless the fastidious type.

the gloria is a piece of work. i cant even close the bonnet properly withour leaving fingerprints or imperfections.

Only if you give a shit about the sheer phaggotry of having pristine paintwork 100% of the time

it's a work ute / jetski tow rig / depreciating assett

I have a black Xtrail and DGAF

But if you DGAF then it will not look pimping as dezz desires it to be. If it's going to get dirty then just get a colour that still looks good when it's not super clean.

Like that navy blue or dark green Holden do on the VFs.

Also, not all sparkies are well off. A lot are struggling. Not the ones I f**king work with though. True definition of 1st world problems. Fighting over 20mins of travel time and milking jobs for OT even though some of them are lucky to be on the job at all.

Then find out some of them are ex-desal. Not f**king surprised.

it's a car. Cars get dirty. This is life

I've got the skyline on the front lawn at the moment, running just fine.

It's the dodgy evo I bought that is having issues and is up on stands in the garage atm. Was pulling the brembos off the front on Sunday night to swap to new rotors and pads, only to discover that the previous owner or previous-previous owner had munted the thread on the bottom caliper mounting bolt hole.

So there was nothing I could do but slowly and painfully remove the bolt, crying about doing more damage to the caliper.

WTB: Thread Doctor.

can confirm "previous-previous owner"

I didn't own it long enough to change pads lol

You strike me as someone who buys new vinyls at the record store and doesn't listen to them because by the time you get home they've already been out for too long

over the years I bought a LOT of records that I never played

Well... this is the current state of the passenger front rotor, it started making a bit of noise so a few weeks later I eventually decided to change the pads and rotors.

Who can spot the issue?

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
