I bought a Bluebird SII rally car today! There's a few things to be sorted out before I pick it up next week, but its a done deal. Its a brand new car, done only 1 event and was too good to pass up when the opportunity came along. It doesn't have anything particularly flash in the driveline or suspension at the moment, but its a well built car that just needs some bhp and shocks, basically. I have some pics, but can't find the camera's USB cord - must have left it at work, so I'll post one tomorrow.

I also bought a bunch of engine stuff off a mate of a mate... Z24 crank turned down to fit L20B block, 89.5mm solid skirt pistons, sonic tested block etc to make a 2.4l grunter...

Now I just have to find room for another couple of cars (the Bluey comes with a spare shell - amongst other things). I've already got a Datsun 1200 racecar, HR30 Skyline, GQ Patrol and a mates Stanza rallycar in for a paintjob. And now 2 Bluebirds coming - something's gotta give! and as much as I don't want to get rid of the HR30, its the only real option, so does anyone want to buy a HR30 Skyline coupe to help me make room??? or know someone who might? I'll advertise it in the For Sale section when its finished and ready to sell.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      It be 40°C outside lately. 10W60 is a good idea here. Well, certainly 10W50.

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
