Might help getting a job first... It may work out better just to save up for a standard 25 or 26, chuck it in there and sell it till you get yourself sorted buddy :cheers:

Mitch, the rough figure you're looking at for a standard RB26 from a front cut and then installed, old engine removed, etc would be roughly 7k I'd say (RB26 front cuts without the box and turbo's are roughly $5k these days :cheers: )

which i wouldn't bother with ,

i don't even have $50 let alone $5k

have u also checked under the oil cap?

the head gasket might be flowing water into the oil

if that looks like iced coffee = BHG.

know this all to well from blownig a few 7m's in my old cressy (they dont seem to like high compression)

7M's didnt have the right torque figures for the head from factory tighten them down a little more (there is info on the net somewhere) and its all sweet

How do you calibrate that meter?

with one of these

    • If your HP goal is reasonable and you are not drifting. Buy a new R34 box.  If the above is not true, buy a wrecked R33 box and put a gearset in it.  CD09 are not as strong as you think and the cost of / mess around of the conversion puts you in gearset territory.    Also the deal above is awesome,, get that  
    • Just got back from a little hands-on with a G58 Baron....I was thinking about this... ..best I can figure it, that pinny was tail-ended ...I didn't really think about the wiring, because all that mattered was the tank and pump cradle (I think I mentioned the pump itself I couldn't vouch for)...which didn't matter, as you said you'd be replacing the pump anyway.... ...'for some reason'....and I imagine this is the panel shop's doing... they've replaced the cradle wiring with a metre of 7-core trailer loom, and attached the loom plug (from a different car) to that. The actual cable run from the top of the pump cradle, to fuel pump harness end in boot, is maybe 60cm in length...so I've no idea why they did this... ....the connector in the boot of the pinny, is not going to help you here...because in theory, it should still be present on your car. On top of that, because they've done what they did, we have no idea which colours of the trailer cabling, have been connected to what on the fuel pump cradle (pump +/- , shield, fuel guage/low-level senders)... ...this means, best approach is to remove the pump cradle, and re-work it now ...not later. That is, if you were going to replace the pump, do it, replace the soft lines at the same time...and sort the wiring out (replace that trailer cable with the wiring loom off your old cradle)...
    • Well, maybe not. The main feature of Chinese manufacture seems to be incredibly variable quality, coupled with an apparent willingness to find a way to see even the stuff that fails QC. So the military could still take the cream of the production run and somehow sell the "sellable but not really useable" stuff to the stupid round eyes on the other side of the world.
    • Have you adjusted the clutch pedal rod? You can wind it in to shorten it. Just can be a cnut to get to.
