Thanks dudes.

Actually the problem wasn't too bad except meggala sold me the car with broken head gasket and a bottle of chemi-weld. I didn't want more chemi-weld holding it together so I had the head rebuild with full Nissan vrs kit.

When the cams came out 1 ring thingy had a groove on it and one lobe had a chunk out of it so I got some cams from Anthony last night so I could have my car before the weekend.

Nic, unfortunately they're just stockers cos I couldn't afford anything else, which is unfortunate cos all this car needs is some cams+rocker arm stoppers and a safe 230rwkw here we come. Hopefully I'll pick up some power because what caused the cams to wear down was crap buildup in the head itself and that's all gone now. I had a look at the head and it's so cleeean... SO clean.

Other things being done are wheel alignment with more camber (4degrees.. which still isn't heaps) and caster (as much as possible).

The dump-pipe is gonna get some weld treatment too because the xforce dump pipe splitter has gotten lose again (common problem with them).

Just got the word too - it'll be ready tommorrow, which is a pity I was gee'ed at the possibility it would be ready today but it's still on schedule so I'm happy :rolleyes:

*group hug*

lol

Well this is assed. Nathan rang me to tell me one gasket hadn't been included in the vrs kit and he had expected to get it in this morning but it's a no show... unless it gets there by 3pm and he gets time to do it I won't see it till tommorrow.

And then there's always the chance it doesn't get there today in which case I'm up the ass cos I won't have my car for the weekend... Nice of him to call and lemme know.

Pray for mojo.

Isn't 4 deg camber a lot for the street? Or don't you drive it often?

I drive mine to work everyday so i'm runining 2.5deg camber and about 8 deg caster with a bit of toe out.

When I got it it had about 8 deg. I had it put down to 1.5-2 deg which I don't feel is enough. I think 4 will be a good compromise - and I drive it a fair bit :(

:D Bruva.....long time no chit chat.... sorry to hear about the dilehma! But yeah Nath is a champ :) and will always look after you! Where i got my ceffie fully serviced and turbo / gearbox change..blah blah blah

At least yours is on the road (well sort of). Mine is an expense dust collector atm. To many things have gone wrong with it and I cannot afford to have them fixed atm. ECU fried......front passanger suspension fcuked, new coil pack needed....and on and on and on. :(

Will have to pop over sometime to say G'day....

Damn I ain't getting my car back today. The supplier got my gasket in but couldn't deliver (too late). Luckily Nathan has actually gone to pick it up so I can have the car back tommorrow.. what a f**king legend.

Just needs a couple of minor things done to it and hopefully I'll have it tommorrow arvo.

Good to hear tom!

We do need to organise a day trip or something... I can relate to the cefiro issues - One week Blew the diff out -

Then hit a large lump of sandstone on the edge of the road.

Now I have to get the front subframe cut, bashed and welded because its out 12mm which has pushed the right castor rod back and stuffed the way the wheel sits...

12mm sounds so little but stuffs up so much.

We should all have another dyno day some time!

    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
