Ahh ffs!

Why did you swap the gasket anyway?

We pulled the head off after Winton as it had a tiny oil leak coming from the top of the oil pump. When we pulled it off we found it to be from an unused bolt hole as it's a GTi-R pump. We tried using the same gasket again as it had only just gone in and there was water in the oil, so we got another one and now it's leaking again. Engine is out now and getting pulled down today to see what the go is. I'm just hoping it's not the sleeves, but the engine builders don't seem to think it will be.

So draining.

Shit Dane!!

Hopefully your luck will change soon mate! Sad to hear that you're still having a few minor issues with the set-up

I was sooooo hoping to see it at DECA yesterday.

Thanks Al. I was hoping to be there too mate, but no luck lately... :)

Gees Dane....you'd have to be one of the nicest guys on these forums and yet you have the worst luck. Hope its not too expensive!

And I just made the comment on NS.com after you posted your dyno sheet that I was glad to see you had the gremlins sorted. :P

it's one of those things with race or modified cars, you're in the hands of the people you trust, so hopefully those people do right. ;)

Indeed mate, just hoping I forget about all this once I've got it back as I'm pretty soured on the whole thing. Lucky I have the car in my posession at the moment though, it reminds me why I don't just strip the thing and sell it... I love it too much :(

Thanks Ian. I'm not planning on paying for it, I've already paid for a completed, running engine and have yet to receive one!

I was just wanting to test out the 285rwkw's before I decided what to do with my turbo kit but no such luck.... :(

Yeah Dane, rotten streak of luck you have. I thought I was the only one with that kinda luck?

I've always had some rotten car luck, I don't know what it is about me! I guess I should have realised the signs when I had two cars stolen in 3 months when I was 18 :D

welcome to my world Phunk. Sorry to hear mate. it sux.

Couple of the Evo III taken last night now its finally all back together!

Took it for a drive and remembered why I always loved these things, shame I have no time to use it!... so don't be scared to make an offer!

just awesome! it looks great Rob. can't wait to see more video and hear the beast in action!

So, it turns out the sleeves have dropped slightly in the cylinder causing the leak. Because the head was decked last time i was off, but the block was not decked with it there is a slight variance and apparently not uncommon when removing the head for the first time in a sleeved alloy block.

So the bores are getting a hone, and new rings are going in as well as bearing most likely. Any suggestions on rings? I was using CP rings with the CP pistons but have heard there may be better out there, but I may be limited due to the 90mm Piston size. Any suggestions welcomed :)

Dane, when I had my block sleeved they decked the sleeve to sit slightly proud of the block to compensate for any slight downward movement in the sleeve. So they deck the block first then instal the sleeves and then deck the sleeves to sit slightly proud of the block.

I used CP pistons and rings too however, I think someone on this forum mentioned that ACL rings had more tension against the bore wall which is better to minimise blowby. Still CP rings are widely used and seem to do the job.

Ahhhh ok, that's what may not have occurred, causing my issues.

Do you get much blow by? Mine blew the dipstick out on the dyno, hence why we were considering new rings. It may have been the slightly scored bore though. I'm just considering all options as I want it to stay together this time!

Looks nice mate.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
