Just mounted the 5k and 5spd into my ke35, ready for the rest of it to be done ASAP!

Captain Thread http:// http://www.captainthread.com/ Ph: 0407 077 414 Did a helicoil in my block, easy to talk to over the phone and my Dad said he was a nice bloke. Was $88, I don't know what other people think but I wasn't able to take the block anywhere so for him to come to me and do what was needed was awesome.

Hmmm about 3 months away, I might be interested depends if I've done anything with the body and suspension by then.

My auntie backed into my brother's 240z and put a dent behind the door, rest of it needs body work but this looks pretty bad.....good thing he's in Darwin for 3 weeks...Still :bash: :bash:

Were you there at the start, at candy road?

Most of the photo's I have are in the original thread..

ah sorry... If you want your pic just request it and I'll upload it.

And also the Bbq.....

Hey guys had a really good turn out I reckon, have some pictures below......I aint no photographer so..... Got some more but have to change the size of them first.

WGMG - Myself with the inability to use a torque wrench when tired.

Cheers guys, googled and came up with www.captainthread.com .......Will have to get it done thursday, then will organise another cruise.... :happy:

You guys aren't open tomorrow morning are you?

Yeah used a torque wrench but when I set it to 35 foot/pounds I was actually setting it to about 45, It was a fricken amateur mistake. What I should of done is slept on it and done it tomorrow morning, someone's suggested just tapping it to the next size up and fitting a different bolt but am a bit unsure about that.

The water pump wasn't in good nick and the colour of the coolant wasn't to great so I'll end up getting the block flushed, changing the crank pulley isn't difficult either. I'd rather put the engine in and not worry about having to pull it apart again to do the ports and what not.

And a new record for most people being online at once at over 3000 which I think smashed the previous record.

Was so hoping to start this update with a positive note but I just stripped a thread in the block for the cylinder head so won't be doing anything with this until I get a helicoil put in. I guess one good thing is I finished porting the head out using a die grinder at work to get rid of the bulk of the material and the dremel to smoothen them out....soooo wanted it in the car tonight though...... :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

Said earlier that I was bringing my dads camera.....just f@$ked a thread in my new block by doing a epic fail with reading the torque wrench wrong, am going to sprints in the morning to see if they carry a helicoil kit but I highly doubt it so will need to be picked up. Just rock up whenever man I'm good anyway, Cheers.

How late can I leave it for you to pick me up man, finishing off the head porting and the installation tonight and tomorrow morning so....

Spotted a pretty sweet white ke55 on gold mesh rims (I think) at BP regency park at about 10:30am today.

I umm may have looked too much into it, have a look and see what you think: Jono

Hey guys, have got the 5k motor sitting in my (dads) shed right now and have pulled the 3k out ready for the 5k to be dropped in. I being an idiot had taken out the 3k before looking at the 5k and some gaskets need replaced, going to swap the waterpumps over aswell and pictured below is the start of some home head porting work. Rang a place on Brighton road about getting it matched to the inlet manifold and also putting in bigger valves but they said $600 and decided it's not really worth it, so gonna do it myself. Piccies :yes: :yes: Block and G.box not much to look at but: My new pistons :lolcry: :lolcry: :lolcry: This is what I've done so far with the head porting (the second inlet is the one that I've started). Did this with a dremel tool but going to try a die grinder tomorrow see if it's a bit quicker. Hopefully have the headporting done by tomorrow night and will try and get the Block and gearbox in tomorrow aswell.....Am so happy aswell that the gearbox mounts line up so perfectly. Jono. Oh just remembered gotta do some new wiring aswell...list keeps getting longer :bash: but :dance: aswell

Here it is, I can make the rims bigger and tint the windows if you want.....
