SECURITY

my brother in law sells alot of stuff on ebay. he sold a camera for 2500 and had the money transferred into his account. when my brother in law sent the guys details off to his supplier, they warned him that the buyer has been known to scam people. this is how he did it.... apparently he was some kind of hacker and would transfer money from someone else's account, into the seller's. the seller would then post the item to this guy (who lived in taiwan), and by the time the ball was already rolling, the banks would realise the money was taken out illegally and would demand the money back off the seller. anywho my brother in law sent an email to the guy that the money has been confiscated by the bank (which really hadnt been), the guy replied that he doesnt know what could've gone wrong and insisted he would sort it out. he has hasnt heard from him since. this all happened around 3 weeks ago. and the money is still sitting in my brother in law's account.

safc + tune = around 650 - 700 if you're paying retail and it only controls fuel. these days you can get a pfc for around the 1k mark and it'll control everything. hold out for a pfc.

ive got to pull out cars off the road again. hopefully ill make the next one.

pm Slide he sells t04e's with an internal gate thats good for 250rwkw. ill be getting one of these soon too. and these are a straight bolt on.

the pistons i used were the same dia as the ones ive got in there, the bore didnt increase in dia. by much at all, not even half a mm. we did wash the bores out then blowed them out thoroughly. same with the crank. the 4/6 pistons were replaced. anyways, im leaving all decisions to my bro in law. the matter is now closed.

hahaha

im not keeping the motor for long, thats the only reason im not doing it that way. the motor is just to get me around for the time being till i can build a 30/26 which is where my money will be well spent. and even the way ive done it, you will all see it handle the runs and track days well

probably the best example ive seen of someone asking to get their car stolen. saying youve got a kill switch - ok. giving the exact location.... that shits just not smart dude.

ive taken my oil pump off my car as i had low oil pressure after my rebuild. the problem i have now is how to check that my oil pump is broken by inspection. i need to know if its my clearances and not my oil pump before i go spending 500 on a new oil pump.

or hook up a switch to it? im hooking up a kill switch on my car.

im just going to leave it to my brother in law. hes confident he knows what the problem is, its too much of a damn headache for me. thanks wrxhoon, hope you dont mind if i pm you another time if ive got any problems mate. cheers.

it was done right, just because we didnt have a workshop doesnt mean it was done wrong. and to the best of my knowledge the oil pump was fine so we didnt think of changing it. it isnt a big problem. its either the big ends or oil pump. ill be changing both while the sump is off anyway. bearings cost me $60 so it isnt a big deal to change them to be on the safe side. im buying an n1 oil pump this thursday so it'll all be fixed over the weekend.

we're going to pull the oil pump off and have a look at it, if it seems ok then we're going to look at the clearances of the rod bearings. but we put in new standard bearings, and the old bearings were standard so the only thing left would be the oil pump. whats happening is its running, except ive got what sounds like a lifter noise. just a clicking in the head, but that could be caused by the thinner oil and a dodgy oil pump. oil pressure rises to 30+ psi when its at around 3000rpm, so its got me stumped!

thanks alot for that mate.

ok well it might not be my oil pump after all.. could be clearances. now ive got to rip the sump off again

thanks mate, but none of those guys work there anymore.

im not looking for a 2nd hand one, im looking for somewhere that sells them cheaper or can i only get it genuine?

standard preferebly. email: [email protected] mob: 0422 299 414 thanks

ive rung a few places so far, justjap, uas, and nissan. nissan want 500+ for a standard rb25det oil pump and justjap and uas dont stock the standard pumps. if worse comes to worse ill be getting an n1 pump from justjap for 499 but does anyone know anywhere else that would have standard rb25det oil pumps?

^^ what he said.

ill be building an rb30/26 on the side. ill be using this motor to get me around for a while till i can start to build the other one.

the clearances were fine... there wasnt any ware on the old bearings, big ends or mains. i dont remember where the oil pressure was before the rebuild, but i dont remember having a problem with it. what im thinking is somehow when the piston melted it might've done something to the oil pump. ill check the pump out anyway.. what should i look for?

what else could it be mate?

well its off the road again.. we tested oil pressure tonight and it was 10psi at warm idle and around 30psi at around 3000prm. no good. its on stands ready to be ripped apart for the new pump. damnit!
