Bump, what ended up happening to this rodel?

gawd dam, i'm prolly gonna spend nearly 2k for it, considering dollar conversion to AUD and shipping it here.

Sorry for ancient thread bump, does anyone still have photos of fredric's carbon fiber intake manifold setup? Laptop copped a blue screen of death and lost all mk3 supra related photos :(

If you get around gopro attached to your helmet for the 'POV' view like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uve5JxIxcyk would make really good video clips. Having a look at the bermani supra setups, I'm thinking most of their weight reduction to 2200lbs/1000kg was around the unsprung mass...

really digging the intake!

Hopefully they won't have issues finding a caster this time.

I just remembered IJ/Ian was running a 7m auto with a FFIM. Although I believe he was running a motec at the time?? can't remember if he was using a suprastick at one point

If you wanna DIY give these a shot http://www.lislecorp.com/divisions/products/?product=43. Much better than the spring loaded stone glaze breakers. If you can't trust anyone but yourself, try giving it ago :D

Wow impressive laptimes! not far from the top runners !

Thread update. Had everything assembled since then. Gave it a 5 heat cycles before retorquing it again. Been a month far and engine is running good Nice to see it still so clean before I was commencing retorque.

ahhh i see my bad couldn't comprehend the 2 syncros part from the last post. Cheers!!

So mint!!! loving it! Oh what ended up being the problem with the tranny? going to be doing that to my tranny soon and hopefully don't round up doing the samething

wow loving the restoration work!

I wouldn't stress too much over it. So as long as there's flow to keep hydrodynamic lubrication going. I'd be more worried if oil pressure is gradually reading lower at the same temp over time which says alot about it's viscosity index

Oil filter bypass spring kicking in? relief valve ?

Wow there seems to be more cases of this appearing. I wonder if using the incorrect torque on the drive plate has anything to do with it? The last 2 motors I rebuilt hasn't shown any signs of failure yet.

Thanks for the input guys Its an ajusa headgasket. It's a composite core with a metal face. Similar concept to an exhaust manifold gasket. I had heads there were more eroded than this and had them welded and decked this one wasn't as bad and should be fine. Only looks eroded because of the...

Oh woops was still in the process of uploading into photobucket as I was posting. The head's already on and I didn't invest alot of time into cleaning it, just unbolted the drain plug at the side and just ran some water, finger and alcohol through it and cleaned the deck a bit. Cheers for...

Into the block now My gawd chasing the threads got alot harder on the back two bolts as the tap wrench hits the fire wall >_< Had to take head off again as I forgot about putting gasket maker under the front oil drain between the rear timing cover and block...

I figured this would be hard to clean out at home, with school holidays in place I decided to head to school as they have the facility to rebuild engines there. Into the jet wash it goes! After, and gave it a few more washes...
