r31 nismoid: u say trust the blokes with the bad choice in plugs but after 4 days they were stumped and had no idea what the problem was...

gtst25: i didnt keep driving it much, only a little bit when i thought it was bad fuel and had drained the tank and refilled and thought it had to run through. apart from that i was saving money to get it back to the damn mechanics. and i used to be on here for hours each night reading tech stuff but ihave had bugger all time these days to get on here.

wAZR32GTST: yeah this was my first service owning the car so i hadnt got to know anyone to know my car inside out. I asked around a few blokes with strong skylines and they pointed me there. Yeah $600 included the barrel service plugs and labour because some people keep bringing up that it was 600 for the lock. and is it really that easy to get the door trim off when its already shut and locked?

sinistagtst: mate that exactly what i did do this bloke is sposed to be one of the best in newy. well i suppose he still is if it was my f**kup.

skylinecouple. thanks for your 'helpful' advice. firstly i had no idea it was the AFM in the first place. i asked on here earlier and i got a list amount 20 long, from afm, coils, plugs, pipes popping off, boost controller, bad fuel, heaps of stuff. And i know theres 50 pages on plugs but how would i know they are the problem when a damn qualified mechanic, one of the best in newcastle, put them in!

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
