Tier 4 engine bay, will be Tier 3.5 when it gets a new plenum and the cam cover hoses routed properly.

Going to powder coat all the parts soon, when I find someone (when I get off my arse)

Tier 3 laundry nearly done, just need to adjust the doors, fit door pull tabs, hit it's mum with silicone, fit new taps/spout (whenever it comes) and gap fill and ready for roll racing.

All the pro shops will be blown away by the build quality.

Is it just the photo or are the panel gaps all f**ked in the two top right doors?

Your using Nistune for the frontloader?

Does is have enough hektic features, I was sure you would be running a Hellatek plug and play with the systems dash..... hows else you gonna know the RPM of the washer

I want to see how well it goes when you do the cold water to atmosphere purge during summer to make sure you're getting the coldest possible water into that wash!
That spray will look hectiks!

Getting quicker and quicker at doing timing belts lol..

So car was weeping oil from the front main area, I initially thought I over packed the pump with grease and on it's first start up there was an air pocket that popped off the front main seal. Wasn't leaking too much, but enough to start forming droplets near the crank after a drive.

So thought today was the day to remove the lot and pop in a new front main seal, to my surprise it turned out to be lose oil pump bolts ??? 

Yep, RTV the sump, new oil pump but when I went to tightened up the lot the next day after the RTV dried up, I forgot about the oil pump.

Anyhow, tightened up it's mum, here's hoping it won't weep anymore lololol.

Reminds me of the time my mate and I both thought the other had done up the front passenger calipers bolts when we'd had them off t paint them on my first 33.... until it came off at 60 and jammed the wheel to a sudden stop....

at least it stopped! lucky!

Real quick, complete with sparks from the wheel well. 

As an early 20s NFI home mechanic, bricks were shat lol 

Part of why I am so appreciated of SAU and did my own tutorials for it etc, the info I gained here allowed me to be a less shit mechanic.

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
