I'm In the valley, NS and I know of a few owners in the vicinity.

That Z06 Carbon is verry nice, although if I had the dough I'd shell out the extra for the ZR-1 (although I agree it is mildly over the top) Not sure about the Z06, but I know the ZR-1 will walk all over the GTR for a fraction of the cost. IMO it looks about 999X more badass too.

Bump for any more input. It would be appreciated.

I recently installed a set of aftermarket seats and while making my brackets I kept the seats as LOW as possible while bolting into the stock location. I wanted to remove the cross braces that are welded to the floor/rockers/tunnel but to be honest I wasn't entirely sure if removing it would...

No problem, understanding the op is no small task lol (no off) Lewis is probably correct, your hg isn't sealing.

You misunderstood. He said he poured oil on top of the pistons and it didn't leak by the rings. Simply pouring oil in a cylinder and seeing if it stays there does not tell you if the rings are bad or not. Nor does it help rings seal or reduce blowby while the engine is running. A dry/wet...

Mineral oil on top of your pistons won't tell you if the rings are sealing properly. Whoever told you that is rather joking or should not be working on engines. It could be timing, but it could be many thing. List everything you did / had done to the engine during your "rebuild" and we will...

-Scrape the block being very careful not to scratch the surface AT ALL -Wet the surface with wd40 -Pick up some 400+ grit emery cloth and sand using a sanding block -Examine the surface for any nicks, gouges, pitting or wear around the cylinders. Anything you can catch your fingernail in or...

Nos is a brand name, nitrous oxide is what you would install on your engine. Saying "i have nos on my 1j" is just going to get you flamed. (just fyi) Installing a nitrous system is the same as upping boost. It can be done safely if your setup is TUNED correctly. I'm sure if you do your...

They go bad when they are worn out.... Which many are because of the age of our cars. It is very likely your guides are out of spec.

Hey adjuster, I'm just curious as to how hot tanking a head can unnecessarily damage parts? I'm not disagreeing I'd just like to hear your experiences there. Also if you know what time of tank solution that they/you used that'd be great. Thanks

*BZZZ I call BS "Much like cams on a stock SUPRA are a waste of money" There are many cases where a cam upgrade is a decent idea from the start.

AWESOME build. Please keep the pics coming!

If you know a really good welder it can be welded, I have seen it done successfully. I've also seen people use JB weld believe it or not then have it re-machined, but not in a performance application. Since it is just near a water jacket and not a fire ring I'd personally clean out the hole...

I do indeed work in the industry and I know exactly what you're talking about, i saw my mistake/assumption and have already apologized for it. Don't assume from now on though that leaving the shaft in will save the bearings though :p What solution did you use in your tank?

#1 Apparently the cleaning solution you used is farrrr less corrosive than the 3 shops that I've worked at. I used that theory of "leave the cam in" several times and the cam had excessive play afterwards because all traces of babbit/alum were gone. #2 I don't post shit without practical...

Valve relief?

Whether or not you leave the shaft in place it will ruin the bearings (assuming where he takes it to uses something like caustic soda or any other solution that corrodes aluminum) Yes you really should take everything off the motor, get it de-glazed and install new piston rings. Many people...

If you can see it is banana shaped your head is likely toast... Too many food refrences
