Yo, got a gtr sitting here in pieces, been like this 3 months, im over it (tensioner bearing died just b4 i had it booked in to get the noise checked).. Just needs the timing checked (i'm scared it skipped a tooth so will need to check cam timing and whether engines tdc) and belt put on, then front cover and belts, i can do radiator and all that myself easily enough.. just to lazy to put it back together, anyone know a joint who will come out and do it for me? or anyone wanna come gborough and do it for like 200 bucks.. it's probably 1-2 hours work max.. have a full garage with all tools etc, but cant be fkd towing it to a joint and i'm paying 2800 insurance a year for a car i cant drive z

the engine was still running okay (with the noise) it wasn't till one morning it didn't start and probably only turned over a few times.. i'm hoping the belt just slipped back a few teeth, screwed up the timing and that's why it didnt start.. otherwise will sell it as is.. so over skylines now

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
