tough break duncan :D sorry to hear motor# 11ty cried enough. i know you are a glutton for punishment but maybe think about getting the next one done at a different machine shop.... it can't all just be bad luck.. can it?

shame to see you out early too lofty. still you are going to have a ball in that thing when it's sorted. it will make driving your ip spec GTR feel like you have the handbrake stuck on!

:unsure: i've been held captive all weekend

i'll have to drop it off at autosport sometime this week :P

i have to chat to greg about my new motor, and putting it in... ahh i am lazy!

No rush, i have plenty of other crap to keep me occupied atm.

I may want them injectors your selling too.

Duncan seems like the only things to survive the weekend were falcodores. A few rotors let go as well.

Ol Rambows getting a new engine before wakefield now as well, nothing wrong with his old dinosaur plonker but his become greedy and wants more grunt.

You have been using Mike Hanley for sealing??

yeah I'm using Mike as well. But we dont bother sealing it half the time. Just don't have the time to wait.

Speaking of sealing,,,how funny was it when old Mike waited for like 1/2 an hour while we tried drilling through the head gasket.

Poor Mark killed about 6 drill bits trying to get through a bloody head gasket. We all gave up and went to the front.

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!!

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.

      My BMW 335i

      By PranK · Posted

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
