hahha pedals yeah, and all the other stuff i wanted to do, grrrr, but ay s&*t happens as they say,

yeah be good to see there work, hmmm gonna see if i can make some more money somehow over web ill look at upping my kilowatts expectations

this sucks dude, i would go rebuild also, i have been through too many dud engines that i could have rebuilt and go more power and peace of mind (well more so then a second hand engine)

Nurse it around or use buses while you save your pennies for a rebuild, i may be looking at something similar shortly but not sure yet, ive been down the whole modifiying road and it wasnt as fun as i thought it would be.

yeah im saving the penies, not going to drive much so not gonna spend to big on fuel, tax back will help and selling my car back home, hopefully the start of the year while im on a training ex i can get it underway, ill have to have a chat with the skyline performance guys and see how it would pan out

would i require a dyno yune after this ?? and also if i get those parts, with a bigger turbo i could up the boost ???

  • 2 weeks later...

if going path of rebuild what other items besides whats below should i considure, i dont wanna open it up again, im looking at long term 400rwkw mark, going to do it all in in little parts at a time, so far engine rebuild would contain.

CP Pistons

Eagle Rods

Tomei Heads Gasket

ARP Head studs

New oil pump, new water pump, new bearings, possibly new main studs., new head studs, complete gasket kit, change the cams, possibly a solid lifter conversion. and other bits and pieces. 400rwkw isn't cheap.

Will also need to upgrade clutch, possibly gearbox internals, diff.

And there is probably more i haven't remembered.

yeah your right there, i think it would be more appropriate if i aim at the strong and safe 280 mark. i should be able to get that off a gtrs as well, and use the stock planum, would considure cut and plug for a forward facing planum cut some piping out to increase response.hmmmm so many options.

have already got

new

**oil pump,

**new water pump,

**upgraded clutch

whats the difference between main and head studs

what are you reffering to with regard to these pieces

**new bearings,

**a solid lifter conversion

You will need new big end bearings and new bearings for the crank. If you wanted to run ~400kw you would probably run some decently high lift cams and you need to get rid of the factory hydraulic lifters and get a solid lifter conversion to do that (tomei make them).

+ associated machining and assembly costs.

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
