Cos I'm excited lol I don't no anyone that has ever done it lol

I have known heaps of people who have done it, but my wife & I have been snubbed. We’ve lived in Australia for 28 years & been Australian citizens for the past 26 & neither have ever been called for jury duty.

My dad has been a citizen for 40 years and he has never been called for it either.

Mate your telling me! I wont sleep tonight. I better take a few pills to take care of that. Just not looking foward to the bill. He told me what they are up to today. I kind threw up a little in my mouth.
I knew this, thought i was prepared for it, but was hoping on it not to be. Cant bloody wait though!

What do they sting you for the rebuild down there?

And what turbo did you end up using

What do they sting you for the rebuild down there?

Complete with blue printing, head work, 12mm pump, injectors, turbo, water rail, their water pump, machining and labour and whatever else they did is 13k'ish. One of the large costs was the balancing and bluprinting. A necessary evil is suppose.
I jokingly had a go at him as they didnt even paint the exhaust manifold, and its got surface rust on it already. Ill take a can of paint in for them tomorrow as a hint. Lol.
As for the turbo ben im shit house with the numbers but he did mention a while back of a gtx3074 or sometihng like that. He was talking about so many things it just went over my head.

Woohoo! How long until you are driving do you reckon?

Well, if everything works, i.e loom works, starts and runs, i dont see theres a crap load to do. The longest bit would be removal of the anchor, cut and then reweld the new mounts. Pretty meuch everything else is either already in there, or sitting in boxes in the back of the car. All oem fits parts so.... Dunno. They know i need it run in and ready for the school holidays as we are driving up to the gold coast. So in my head im thinking if they go at it and dont stop until its done they could do it witihn a week. But my last thought on how long it would take to build the motor blew out by about 4 weeks. So who knows.

Fcuk thats a good price. Thats what mine came up at without turbo, pump, cooler etc and I spent 30-35 hours doing the porting myself

What turbo, what did they do to the head, do you know who accurate the balancing is?

[nissannewby]

Sounds good mudski you wont know yourself.

I hope they give you all the paperwork for the blue printing and balancing.

I know your excited as well mate but you really need to know where your money is going. Its also good knowledge to having knowing what is sitting under your bonnet.

[Rossco]

Have to say quite jealous markie, should be a bloody good motor that will be reliable for a very long time. You've gone about it the right way getting everything done properly, price sounds pretty reasonable really. . .
