ok guys i may have a pit lane garage for sale after not having a enough time to build my engine cause i was going on holidays i paid one of the local engine buildier to do it for me. So we got the engine put it in the car wired it up made all new pipes put it on the dyno and every thing was looking great.The car made 600hp on just 20psi not bad i though.So lets go do some kms before we give it a full tune up but very sad to say the engine didnt even last 200km before spining a bearing. So the holidays got cancelled and we stripped the engine down and could not belevie what we found standard size rings on 20 thou over size piston 1.5 thou piston to bore clearance the crank was now bent 25thou. so i went back to the builder to tell him and all he has to says is get an engineneer to show me where i went wrong and then i will pay for it but by the time i do that i could have the engine back together and maybe get to power cruise. So if some body wants it pm me and i will let you know on thursday if i will make it

Friggn awesome weekend for me!!

Car never missed a beat, apart from a few cooler pipe blow outs.

There is nothing better than smoking the treads in 3rd gear, powerskidding and drifting all over the circuit!!!

Big thanks to Jarrod at A&B Motorsport for lending me some tools and letting me stash my fuel and tyres on Friday, much appreciated!

Sitting in garage 24 and eating my first real food that isn't sausage/bacon in days. Relaxing with guilttoy, benm and the boys, waiting for the racing to start. Massive thank you to dave and his tool wench for their assistance in removing the gear box, helping to rebuild it and putting it back in. Totally unexpected and appreciated.

    • Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.
    • Thanks mate, yeah I've heard that alot and i am definitely regretting using the 25 Loom now, i have gone through and traced all the plugs from the 20loom and re wired them into the 25 loom, I have currently got Crank, Fuel and accessory's working, just need to finalise the loom and run the wire for the Ignition (Spark) and it should be running, will update if i have any luck.
    • Cheers lad, when I head over there I'll give it a shot.
    • Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.
    • Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
