What in the hell is stuffed in all the coolant passages in that head?

 

nothing at all its dried water/coolant

 

Yuck, lol take that head in for some cleaning...

 

How much did it cost to send the motor in pieces?I like where this is goin cant wait to see if finished

 

so you just bought the whole car to take out the motor and send it over in pieces?


that sounds like a huge waste of time

 

some where like $600 or less to send it over. but i sent alot of extras the moving compnay wouldn't take with them. so i ended up around 1000$ sending everything i had over.

nah word after my first got hit. i took it to a japanese guy i knew and he swindled the insurance company for like 2200 so i gave him like 400 for doing it then i bought the car with the sr in it for like 1200. i pretty much got it for free. but no i drove it for little over a year, since that beats walking everywhere.

 

o so you were living or stationed over there?

 

i was stationed. for a short ass 2 years. but i go back occasionally, last time i was there in april.

 

the past week has been a busy one. moving all my parts from my mothers garage to my house (including the 240) cleaning out my workshop, and removing all the junk from the yard for the car to sit. i found stuff i previously bought that i forgot i had. A blitz downpipe and the Greddy spec-m intercooler mainly haha. also found out the my coilovers are rs*r's, as is my orignal downpipe. with some random head work being down in the middle of all that. i think i killed my 4th dremel haha. time to invest in an air compressor and some random air tools! yea.

 

Buy a decent compressor at least a 30 gallon. When you cheap out on them they'll cheap out on you. There the way to go. Ive always wanted to go to japan. Is it worth the trip?

 

yea i was thinking around a 30gallon because i'll be useing it for a couple hours at a time. but i gotta find one that isnt super expensive. and the trip is totally worth it. every freaking penny worth!

 

where's the best area and what do you have to see

 

well all of okinawa is just awesome! but other then that only part i've been to is tokyo. in okinawa there just to much to list. all the random parks are cool the cape/cliffs are bad ass views. in tokyo the biggest tourist area is probably roppangi. i've never been during daylight hours but at night theres some pretty cool bars and clubs and your most likely to get laid. and then there is another place that pretty bad ass stuff like newest technology video games and random modern things. always awesome to go during the tokyo auto salon:gc-drool1:. or just the regular tokyo car show for them to show off their concepts and newest garbage lol. there's just so much you cant see it all during one trip.

 

id love to go there to never been overseas.

 

RikRong and I were talking about going

 

also check out shibuya and shinjuku. pretty cool places but alot of shit is retarded expensive. from some reason harajuku stick out in my head but i dont remember whats there haha google that shits. and when the next auto salon is. you'll get to see the newest latest crap from aftermarket company's cool-ass demo's and some cool cheap shit. and :gc-drool1: at some models then go :beer2: with buddies.

 

gotta wait till next week to move the car to my place :sad but its kinda cold today so i'll probably be taking a break anyways.

 

when you guys go can you spot me a ticket?! lol

 

My girl and I where going to fly out this year. The plan was to buy an R34 tour around with it and ship it home. When i found out that it had to be 15 years old to be brought into Canada, the trip got ruined so we decided to use the money to get married and go out in 2014.My cousin went and told me it was fantastic and that they treat you like a king especially at the ''massage'' parlor.

 

eh. those are ok... "soap land" is where you really wanna go... but being married i'd advise against that is more a full contact kinda sport there...

 

Haha nah she's my best friend. I do hear that alot though did you get a compressor

 

im still looking around for a decent deal. and waiting on extra cash to fall my way, and i've been stuck fixing my sister's shitty escort zx2. that "thing" has more problems then a heroin addict in rehab...

 

Haha remove the rad cap and replace everything under it. don't you love delays. What do you plan on running of the compressor

 

well for right now just a umm idk what its called its basically an air dremel haha. but the damn thing uses so much air that the 2gallon tank i borrowed its basically useless. i gotta wait for it to build up then use it for 5 mins then wait again. its aggravating as hell. i wished i could just buy her a new damn car lol.

 

I have 5hp 2stage 80 gallon in my garage its a little over kill but i went that big to run my sand blaster and plasma. It also saves on power because of the pump and tank size. If you have 240v power i would recommend 5hp 60 gallon compressor anything smaller you'll just be disappointed with when running a die grinder. I had 5hp gas compressor on a 30 gallon it worked great but it sound like someone revving a dirt bike when you use it. Anything that spins uses huge CFM make sure it has at least 18 and up.

What are your plans beside your engine? What r u going to use this car for?
