hey ya'll well this has been a long time coming but i've finally been offered the job i've been wanting for quite some time now, i told a few of you last night but since then i have had a meeting this morning with Tom the co-owner of Bertram-Ellis Real Estate. (owner of the yellow R34 GT-T "NISSAN" Plates) and have been offered what i consider to be a very impressive first year wage, so the wheels have now been put firmly in motion and im beginning just after my real estate couse Finishing toward the end of march, im going to have to get another car (need to spend about 12k apparently) and i'll be going out suit shopping first thing next week once i get back from sydney.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank so many of you for your help, advice and support over the last few months, especially Jayce, Erica and Richard! though you've all helped in one way or another, so a heart-felt thankyou goes out to all the members of SAU ACT for everything you've done for me and the support i've recieved in the last year and especially the recent months!!!!

PINK POWER!!!!

Andrew.

Disclaimer: in reading this thread you have entered a legally binding contract in which you have agreed to purchase a house from me by the end of April 2005...........well it was wortha shot!

Real estate??????

Good money, never see a shagged out real estate salesman, always on their 2nd million.

Shouting all those free drinks must have paid off!!

Of cause you realise that you have gone over to the dark side, insurance salesmen, used car salesmen, bankers, solicitors, etc etc there is no coming back, cursed forever.....lol.

And and and, the skyline has to go, its strictly BMW now, it's a tool of trade for real estate.

Congrats. get out there and sell some dirt or a hollow tree/cave/tent.

PS And don't quote me your new bosses R34, he's just in denial, he'll get a BM soon.

yeah beginning immediately as a full sales agent. so i think it will be a baptism of fire somewhat but once i learn the ropes i should be fine. its a pretty brutal business too, considering the ammount of people that are fighting for the houses, but for those of you that know me you'll know im a raging bull that dont take no guff from no-one (and by raging bull of course i mean im a pusycat......meow).

Congrats Andrew, rather than spending 12k on another car, fix the racing tape on yours and get a paint job, make the car look a million bucks, and you'll be sweet.

Oh and ill be in the market for a house soonish, hook us up with a good price?

    • This is lower price now given apparently nobody wants these or needs them. It's 550 but if someone sees it on SAU and wants to make an offer, please do so.
    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
