i seen lots of 'lines! none i recognised...


Recommended Posts

traveling to and from dromana and hastings.... even had a nice little blat down the nepean out near mornington area... wine red... twin exhaust... aftermarket wheels of some sort and the rest looked pretty stock.

gees there was some talent out at dromana today... and what an awesome drive going from stoney point over to dromana... nice and whindy and long straights. I reckon we organise a cruise out that way soon.

took a pic of a nice Z... anyone know who it belongs to?

also on the way back seen a nice R32 GTS/T, white, bomex front bar... looked nice... along with a black 33 with what looked like a GTR vspec kit on it also heading towards the dromana way

was farken busy aye! :D next time your down give me a call (0413 144 121) as I should be up for a cruise.

today i was bored so went on a 1 man cruise from sorrento to dromana (bloody busy) then some country driving to flinders and then the windy road back to rosebud... very enjoyable indeed.

yeah for sure dave... that was my first time down there... bloody nice... wouldnt swim at any other beach. once i have a weekend free i'll be down again for sure... maybe this time without the gf as she tends to get a little upset when im doing 170... or even 60 around the bendy roads from stoney point to dromana.

that and she didnt like me flirting with the beach chicks ;)

bloody awesome roads around here hey! I have lived here almost my whole life so I know a few of the nice roads... some bloody fun dirt roads too, but not really suitable for the lines....

and the best beach is koonya (sp) its kind of back of tootgarook (ocean side). Not quite as busy as dromana!

yeah dromana was packed! thats why we went to the other side to check out what hastings and stoney point was like.... shit... absolute shit... boating beaches...

one good thing of the day was i must have fixed my aircon while mucking around with the antenna and stereo at the drive ins cause after an hour in the car without it i decided to see if it would cool us down a little and its working again! :P

bonus :P

Hey guys.........inark..... that 240z belongs to me. I've been once before with you guys for a cruise as a passenger with Matt in his RB30DET GTS-T, as my car was off the road at that time having a R33 G/box fitted. I'll most likely com out with it next time you guys have a cruise.

dude that car is sex on wheels! :P

as soon as i saw it i had to stop and take a pic :P cant wait to see it on a cruise so i can take some closer pics for me to drool over hehe

Yeah, yeah, Jack, Soak it up while you can dude :D

When are we going to put a real engine into it???

Leewah... Leewah............. as you know my car has been off the road for over 6 months therefore I'm not keen to do that again, ...................so I might just put a nice turbo onto the L28 and circuit race it for year or so, but the RB will go in one day.

BTW.......Leewah you still haven't taken me for a spin.....

Jack....Come on man, how often do you see me driving the GTR these days?

It's living at the factory at the mo waiting to have the fuel system worked out coz Steve Newing can't fix a system which he created. How farked is that?

I have to now take it to a Bosch authorised fuel place in Clayton to have them go over the system and work out why Steve's setup screwed one of the pumps. I'm still only running on 2 pumps atm.

I'll give you a ride if you come to the meet on Jan 10. Promise :D

if you guys want to go for a drive, you should come with us every now and then, we do reefton spur, lake mountain, black spur, mt donna buang, christmas hills, toolangi etc.. these roads will really push your limits, and seperate the men from the boys :D

I might do one more run before I sell it...

    • 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
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
