shorty Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 lol cheers dan ill start from the top.since i last posted (over a year ago ;)) i blew the head gasket wich was a 1.6mm copper hg with stell fire rings but ultimatly crap lol and so this was replaced with a cruise 1.2mm as a result the timming was a tooth out so had to re adjust that and all was well. at the same time the ct9/ct20 was taken off and swapped for a gt spec from tongs (enzo's service is top notch and very quick!!) this set up gave more torque but im not so sure the gt spec was as powerful as the ct9/ct20 but will never know now. i got board of the gt spec very quickly and started looking at more power lol.i bought a speedvision td04 kit and a lowish mileage td04, also swapped my already large fmic for a masive skyline fmic with custom pipe work it is large but came off a gt running 300+bhp so is perfect for cooling big power. i finaly had it sprayed too and have swapped my 16's for light wieght 15's in white, ordered and fitted recaro low position rails and my recaro front seats, sold my carbon surrounds and this week end I've fitted my four point rear cage and heat wrapped the mani and decat. thats where it stands at the mo.next on the list is port polish my spare cylinder head (got off a mate has £1100 recipt for full rebuild and only done a handfull of miles since) port polish, port match and powdercoat spare inlet mani, build new front exit exhaust due to old one blowing on the flexi , also fit and map my dastek unichip to 1.4bar!! then probably get board and go td05bb or maybe td06 pics to follow soon, and it will be at jap fest too. sorry about the essay guys lol.

shorty Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 cheers dan well finaly had a spare hour or two so made a start had a few jobs canceled this week so im gonna crack on and see how it goes, head should be off befor the end of the week and will be sent for pressure testing and if its fooked (fingers crossed) then shouldnt be long before shes back if however the head is ok then it points towards the block being cracked and a long rebuild as it wont be coming back with the same setup if thats the case as if its a full rebuild then ill go all out. i miss it sooooooo much already.watch this space for an update in the next day or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
