Hahaha I remember this now. Sorry i shouldn't laugh. But i'm afraid your listing of the cock ups is not quite correct. The first and biggest cock up was getting David Taylor to build your Z motor ! if my memory serves me correctly it had about 3.5.1 compression ratio. Oh ok i exaggerate, but if my s...

Yep go to Autolign.
Any shop that is confused about camber needs to be given an extremely wide berth. Of course you can measure it yourself at home.

Hi Steve Firstly you are extremely unlikely to find anything online about RR3 or RR5 cam shafts. These were designations given to cams i believe were originally ground for Reg Cook Racing they were knock offs of Nissan Motorsport cams. Most of these would of been ground by Paine engine reconditioner...

Ok. Im a sad individual. I have checked all the cam profiles that we have graphed over the years and whilst i have never used this one i have seen and graphed one. It looks identical to Schneider 270-80F Cam. Usable rev range of 2500-6600. Should give good idle quality on triples and very good mid r...

Hi There.

Relatively mild cam for a warm street engine or mild rally engine. the specs look similar to some of the RR3/5 cams we used to run which in turn were knock offs of Schneider Cam profiles. Ill have a look at some of my info and come back to you.

Looks good. Make sure you do your maths / research on driveshaft / universal alignment.

Mike ? Whats wrong with that muffler ? That looks like a stunning bit of fabrication.
I think your motor is too powerful its blown holes in the pipes in the muffler !!

They could be Arrow Wheels but they could also be Simmons B45s they both look very similar.

Hi I had a set of Arrow wheels in that exact size and style and a very similar colour made for me in the mid 90s obviously by Arrow Wheels themselves. Put politely they were ummm not fit for purpose. The rim halves were extremely soft and were forever bending. The casting of the centers was best des...

Hi. Got an absolutely complete ( as in all accessories) 3.0 Ltr with 280 RWHP if you want.

Also i have just looked in my garage. I dont know what thickness head gasket you need but there is a 90.5mm Bore 1.5mm Thick LS Head Gasket here which you can take. Just let me know what it is worth. May save you the freight. I also have loads of standard used head bolts ( a lot like new ) and 5 new...

If you are running a turbo or a high compression NA i would recommend a laminated steel head gasket and ARB head studs. They factory bolts even the Turbo ones are junk with myself often having to use 2 sets or more to get a head down to spec. The bonus with the stud set is that they can be reused. D...

I just briefly watched Mikes second posted Youtube link. Pretty much sums it all up. The best way around any corner is what gets you to the next corner in the shortest time ( in simplistic terms) have a think about this in terms of an overall lap time.

As Mike said above, it is a matter of seat time. There is always something to be learnt from someone else. I am the same, its fair to say ive been doing this a fair while but if i get the opportunity to hop in a car with someone more experienced i jump at the chance. Good driver training is the best...
