Engine bay looks immaculate, love the engine cover, partition, brace... awesome! :D u post on SDU quite a bit yeah?? i think u see u on there quite a bit... a whitish avatar? GTR logo, white background?? or am i thinking of someone else?

oh yeah, and did u have trouble with ur car or something, like it kinda died but came back to life?? :)

anyways, beautiful engine bay/car....

cheers.

Yeah that's me dude, just look up top 10 posters and you'll find me!

Actually I was the number one poster on this board for a while, then things got busy and I didn't post for a year or so...

Anyway the car has been off the road for a year or so basically. Fuel pump died causing it to run lean and detonate, then they rebuilt it and didn't do a good job so near the end of that drag run that's posted above a big end knock occured.

Got them to rebuild it a 2nd time and was still having problems!

3 front cylinders are lean, rear 3 are rich but very noisey, cambelt too tight, piping etc very dirty, camshaft scratched as they didn't put everything back together properly and just found out yesterday that my new turbo's have gone because of all the problems!

It pays to pay proffesionals, I went against my better judgement and let a friend point out a garage that seemed really good. Guess they weren't!

Anyway it is now with Nissan and they said a new engine would be the best way to go...

Will keep you updated :D

Basically the place that done my 2 rebuilds didn't get it right either time!

3 front cylinders are leaning out, rear 3 are running rich but making noises. Cambelt was done up too tight, the caps under the camshafts were put back in the wrong order, the clips that hold the camshaft down were put around the wrong way, they left gunge in the piping which went through the turbo's causing them to give up...

So it's start again time!

Nah it won't be ready for Dyno day bro, to be honest it's not looking like it will be ready for Autosalon either!

If it were 100% I'd be looking at the 280kw mark at the wheels, hopefully more than that...

Sorry I haven't been in touch Troy, trust me when I say they don't pay enough. Im just lucky I still live at home and don't have to pay much rent, sacrifice for wanting to own the car I have lol :)

Hows your baby going anyway dude???

Im hopeing the people that stuffed up will pay out for it, will be over 10k worth so I don't think it's going to simple. Im getting evidence together incase it has to go to court!

    • Unless you have big cams, there is no reason for an RB to idle at any more than the stock 650. No, it is not 850, 950, or anything else. It is 650. In fact, it might even be 550. I just opened an arbitrary stock Neo file in Nistune, and this is what I see
    • I love the undertray, especially the flappy bit for easier access for serving I'm thinking of fabing up one at work for the MX5 while I still have access to the metal shop at work with a guillotine and press brake Whilst removing the plastic undertray on the MX5 isn't to hard, I love the idea of a 2 bolt flap as opposed to removing the whole thing 
    • Great thank you for that. Yeah that is the bumper and spoiler it still has i just hadn't heard of it being referred to as a aero form bumper before. Really appreciate your help.
    • A little progress; I took the opportunity of an oil change to take a sample for oil analysis, will be interesting to see how it was treated for its first 125,000klm (I know how it has been treated since :rofl:) I went with 5w40 and will see what that does for oil pressure at higher revs. Also fitted the Z1 front undertray....a little more sturdy than the plastic factory one (although I suspect it won't stop a tree stump ) Nicest thing about it really is the 2 bolt "service panel"....a gift to the oil changer compared to removing 14 bolts holding the factory tray.
    • I think a scissor lift is better/faster in most cases, but I guess it does obstruct access to the centre of the car? BTW I weighed the quick jack. 3.5 tonne model is 50kg for each side. So yes, portable, but not with one finger
