I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).

G for Grey. I understand.

That's the bottom half of something I saw in a Sasha Grey video once.

Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

Fire up the 3D printer and break out the silver paint.

Yes, it will fit, with the right engine mounts, plus a complete wiring loom. The CA is carby fed, yes? Then you need to add a complete EFI pump system (probably a whole tank) to get that to go. I don't know the 4 cyl stuff that well, but I'd be reasonably sure you'd need an SR gearbox, which will definitely need a clutch, and probably lead to needing tailshaft mods (although maybe you'll get lucky there). There will be more. Not from me. Just on the list.

ISO 61508/511 et al would tell you that that is a good way to fail a Functional Safety Assessment, V&V and Ausit. All of them. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go back and do it again.

I used to love stock take. I used to take f**k of a lot of stock. /Rodney Rude.

When it was a turbo, or now that it is a V8? Engineering for turbo mods in Victoria would a breeze no? As in, you're not allowed to do anything, so there's nothing to engineer?

Well, that's.... 2 Out of how many? I suggest you guys would be outliers, and statistically speaking, should not be counted!

Yeah, how many 350, 450, 550, 650, etc HP RB powered Skylines have any sort of engineering?

Seems like an excellent reason to convert to something else entirely. Spending all that money to go forward by about 2% is hardly good business. Could get a very large V8 for less than that.

Well, yeah, you need to close that circuit, otherwise no start.

Yucky. Things haven't gotten any better though. Now you have Emerson and Honeywell pushing these massive DCS/Scada things with proprietary hardware. They're not a PLC, they're not a computer, they're a...distibuted PLCish/DCSish monster of thing, that only they can program because they make the barriers to entry for anyone else so fricking high. And their developers are all located in the third/developing world (and India, in case anyone does not include that place in that category) and there are terrible failings of the ESl variety, of the care and common sense variety, and f**king forget about Functional Safety. Not a one of them has any idea what it means to comply with an IEC 615xx series standard.

Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.

Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.

Nissan stock oil pressure is typically about 1 bar at 1000 rpm plus about 1 bar per thousand revs on top.

Luckily for safety applications, with dedicated links not being used for any other traffic, you simply run ProfiSafe (or an equivalent safety comms protocol from other vendors) over the top of ProfiNet (if that's what you're using, or Ethernet IP if you're stuck in the world of American PLCs and not verking vis ze Chermans) and the redundancy is more about being able to know that you need to cause a system diagnostic lockout because you've lost one of your comms channels, rather than not knowing that you've lost your only comms channel. Granted, heartbeats and all that are possible and useable and all that, but some safety applications are are so time critical that you might not be able to afford a few milliseconds until the next check.

You typically expect about 100 kPa at idle - 1000 rpm. You're in the region of double that.

Safety network should be dedicated, duplicated, disparate physical route. If it's not that, it was never good enough, even with maintenance.

Just leaving this here in anticipation of good outcome.

Thread closed.

Just wait until R31s catch the contagion.

They need to get a grip. R32 GTRs got as low as AU$8-10K at one point here.

Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
