hehe...yer, its a bit like that :D

Rang up yesterday. I was expecting a few weeks, but Con said mine should be ready sometime next week! woot! I was expecting 3 weeks or something, so pretty happy its a lot less than i expected. Hopefully its all sweet and as good as when i bought it (if not better)

They cut me a good deal on my grill and bumper, so that is all getting done too at the same time. Finally no more greyness !

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...

need to go and visit and see how my babys going... need to see if they can get it done in the next couple of weeks... i need my car back the soarers driving me mental!! but at the sametime still fun to drive :)

Hey you're not driving a falcon that won't go above about 40km/hr up a hill, the head gasket is probably about to bust at any moment, and well I hate holding up traffic!! that is NOT fun anymore :)

My mate was in hysterics when he drove it the other day :)

Mine should be back in a few days I think.. go remind them to chase up that suspension place where it is atm!

its outside their shop without the front bar man i pass it every day :) i am going down tomorow to see when mines going to be ready.... i want it back :)

will ask con about ur one gords :)

Gordon - was just down at palm... my car should hopefully be ready in 2 weeks max :( ur car however is waiting on the front bar... suspensions been done its been sitting and waiting for a few days cause the front bar is ***t man.

there are cracks all thru it which will show up thru the entire paint job and con says he doesnt really want to paint it and have it leaving there looking like that. Honestly man id get a new front bar... maybe not something as low as that either... or just get a new 400r bar i spose... but the one thats their doesnt look crash hot.

hehe shes outside enjoying the sunshine :) very shiney i must say... dropped off the mesh and my car will be ready by next week... i cant go down until next friday anyways so thats whe i will be picking her up... give her the thrashing she so loves and then parking it for another 2 weeks until i pay my rego :D

hehe hey pred i seen ya car again today... looks pretty much the same :( theres a nice 350z down there now and im pretty sure i seen the rear end of my car.. which looked painted :D might pop down before work and take a look :D

    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
    • Right, but if you replace the pump gears + put a spline or sine drive gear on the crank on a Nismo/OEM/N1/etc pump at that point do you really still want more flow/oil pressure? Let's say this is a the aforementioned "keep it simple" build, no more than ~400 kW at the crank.
