LMAO LMAO that is the funniest thing I've seen for a while! :rofl:

Awwwwwwwww shucks, thanks Athene xxx 8ace, Iain, Apache, Kim & zx-eyes thanks to you guys too! I didn't do anything yesterday, was at work all day, but will probably go out for a meal sometime today. All the best. Rob.

Jeremy & 8ace thanks a lot! That's made my day :D :D :duffer:

Do you have a linky? :D

:D :D Where did you get that froom? It's my Red car taken back in 2003 I think :D hehe I got the full pic somewhere, two kittens in either tailpipe :rofl:

RESCUE THE FOSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They're getting all warm laying on the floor!:rofl: But OMG you lot were lucky! Must have been one hell of a bang when that went off! Does anyone have hearing damage now? ATB mate. Rob.

haha ffs! hahahaha

Fook :( time to send in the tanks & bulldozers and clear a couple hundred meters then :D Seriously, all the very best, you lot are doing a great job out there! Rob.

All the best to you and your mates! From how far away was the rocket fired? Must have been a lucky shot to reach the cabin? :(

That was going some to do that! :O

. . . . . . . . . . . Apparently they found some copper in snowdonia! :mac1: :rofl:

It gives you another 90 Deg of bearing area for the end float. I have some stock 270 Deg thrust bearings @ work I could take a photo of. TBH 270/360......... Stock 270 is good enough for a stock tub ;)

It's nothing to do with the brass bearings. The brass bearings control how much 'wobble' the shaft has. I.E. when the blades contact the case and mash up, the brass bearings have self destructed LOL The 270/360 thrust bearing controls the endfloat of the compressor/impellor wheels and shaft. Step gap ring is usefull when this part wears out in a few thousand miles. The step gap maintains a close to 100% seal. A normal straight cut seal will be spreading open at this stage and allowing oil past it to be burnt in the exhaust, hence the turbo smoke ;) HTH Rob.

Well I got 3 manual TT's......... says it all really ;)

360 Deg bearing refers to the thrust bearing. Stock bearing is 270 Deg so the uprated bearing covers another 90 Deg of area. If i'm honest, the endfloat never goes out of tolerance before the brass bearings wear out too much. They're evenly matched in the stock setup. The big advantages comes in fitting the step gap seal. This is an absolute must.

Glasgow eh? Just leave the car out in the street and it'll be dismantled for you while you make a cuppa :D :mac1: :smw: :x:

Just one step gap rear piston ring per turbo :)

I remember having mega problems getting the clutch to work after my last rebuild on the red car.... Tried to bleed it here there and everywhere. Tried to flush fluid upwards etc. In total desperation I pressed the slave cylinder all the way in by hand and my Dad pumped the clutch once. The slave cylinder had a much longer travel this time, so Dad pumped it again and it reached it's 'working point' on the clutch fork. I have no idea why that should work but it did, I'd suggest you try it too. ATB Rob.

Blimey! It's about time there was some progress on this :D Looking good though John!

Got to be The Changeling for me. I watched it when I was 10 and it was scarey! Yeeesh giving me shivers just thinking about it. "How did you die, Joseph...? Did you die in this house...? Why do you remain...?" Whatever you do...DON'T GO INTO THE ATTIC. :o

Have a good one! How's that car doing lately? :D

Can I just say, somebody got the figures round the wrong way on that sign LMAO :rofl: 282ft IS NOT 855 Meters :mac1: It's the other way around, 855ft or 282 Meters

zx-eyes thanks for finding it!!!!!!!!! :duffer: Quavey thanks for posting it in the beginning :bow: So does that mean Japan stopped exporting the Z32 in 1996? If so the figures for the following years were for the JDM market only?
