thanks mate it does all feel ok ill have to run it on the car and see what happens, if i have to pull it iff again atleast ill know what to look for

Ok i have removed the end cover and had a look at the 5th gear and it is in fact all engaging correctly, i can shift through 5 gears but how do i select reverse? Does anyone know the order of shifting a gearbox by hand without linkages attached if that makes sense

Hi, i purchased a gearbox with aftermarket lsd for my gt project im converting from auto to manual, The new box was filthy inside amd out so i opened up the case halves and cleaned it all thoroughly inside and out and put it all back together (everything inside looked good and previous owner...

In the end after tearing it down i found cylinder 3 had a spun rod bearing and the walls of cylinder 4 were badly warped. This may or may not help someone diagnosing in future just thought id mention it

I had a chat with the engineer about the main caps cracking, he thinks that will only happen if running too tight bearing clearances, especially at high power apparently he has seen it happen on other make/model cars. People forge and run high power but on the stock very tight clearances and...

Also i assume the line boring would take away a minimum of a couple of thou, since i only can source cranks that need grinding at this point im not sure there are actually bearings available that would work with undersize crank and undersize caps, does anyone here run billet main caps?

I did look at these option but i couldnt actually find them for sale and available anywhere, do you know were i could get some?. My understanding of it was that the main caps bolts allow the caps to lift at high power and this is what causes them to damage bearings and or crack the main caps...

Yes

For those of you who havnt watched this its well worth checking out His best run yet 10.2 secs @ 142 mph Absolutely awesome car and legend of a bloke behind the wheel too

Yeah im definatly learning quickly, i have Rick from melbourne helping me alot, he has the 500hp 10 second 5e starket i spoke about. (i will comment below to a link to his video) Decided i am going to use Arias forged Billet pistons 74.5mm as these have been proven at high power by Rick...

So ive made a start, done a bit of a u turn and now im back to building this thing for myself :) So i tore my block down It had spun a rod bearing and damaged a crank journal quite badly but i was not sure if it was too far gone for a regrind Also got my new forged spool rods with arp studs...

Thanks i was talking about main cap studs (the ones holding the crank to the block) not head studs , but ended up needing that info about headstuds anyway :)

Met with the engineer and discussed this today, ended up ordering the 4age arp head studs (10mm instead of stock 9mm) and main cap studs

Yes for sure i understand the maintenance required on a high hp car, this is no daily driver im building

Ive found arp main cap studs for my build part number is ar203-5403 These are listed on tuning developments as 4efte main studs Everywere else they are listed as 4age main studs, Can anyone confirm they are the same and will fit my 4efte before i place an order?

Strange thing is, the fastest starlet i know of in australia is running 500hp on 40psi and NOS, he makes consistent 10.6's and after speaking with him, he did grind his crank and run 0.25 oversized bearings without issue and at such high power output

So ive just shaved the inside of the caliper bracket with my grinder by less than 1mm and everything fits Thanks for the help everyone

Thanks for that Jay

Thanks Jay that would really help me out, i really want to see the front face of rotor to caliper bracket difference

Passender side does just but with very little clearance, drivers side moves freely but theres not even enough room to fit the brake pad clips. Im thinking ill have to have 2mm machined off of the face of both rotors, any reason why i shouldnt do this?
