well over the past week i been doing a major service on my car. i know this only takes a few hours if done in one go but didn't have the time.....well when i took everything off the car was top dead centre. i replaced all three belts, i also replaced the water pump to a gates waterpump, and put new tensioners and a gates racing timing belt, well i finally got all done everything was top dead centre belt lined up and everything was good. i then put everything back together and finally started her up, everything was fine except for the HUMP in the idle which i thought it could have been just the crank angle sensor. so i took it for a short drive up the road this is where my nightmare began,

i got the car to second gear and got up to about 4500rpm with only like 3pound on and my car started shaking like no tomorrow, the car died and i started it back up i then noticed NOW my clutch fan is wobbling like a SOB so i limped it home about 100 metres up the road and the car is really bad vibrations through the gearbox and the motor.

question is do you think i BLEW MY MOTOR???????

i am not to sure if i did and now i dont even know where to start checking

please help thanks

THE RESULTS!!!

went back and got a new water pump and put that on. it was a jap made pump so i trust it more than the last one. timed everything back and put the car together started her up i knew it was do or die so i was expecting the worse and my motor to shit it self, well started up and fired up just fine. took the car for a drive and runs better than before, never knew a fan could cause so much trouble but obviously with all the weight on it....it shook the whole car. but as end result everything is fine and working as normal

      CD009 RB Conversion

      New or used transmission? Alignment will be the same with engine running or not. If new, i'm presuming it's a clutch release bearing size issue. If used, are you certain it's a CD009/A and not an older CD008 or less? They had known synchro issues. In my opinion, these transmissions should always be purchased new, they're dirt cheap and you avoid dealing with old revisions.

      How can I remove this adhesive?

      You've got yourself a good old game of have fun. That shit is annoying as hell to remove. Thankfully for you, yours is on metal, most of the stuff I take it off is plastic, so typically hear guns are out. I normally end up continually dragging my thumb with pressure over it to get it to peel up. Eucalyptus oil then works well for getting residue and last remnants off.   Edit: plastic scraper might be worth while too. One that'll dig into the foam tape, but not scratch the paint.

      So I ride and race motorcycles for fun and have always used a van to transport my track weapons. Figured towing a racebike with a skyline would be different and if done right could - "look fully sik" or quite cool for us grown ups lol. Pic of yours truly on two wheels I also have a trailer already kitted out to transport my bikes ...and I have a spare set of rims that match the car that I was going to rebarrel to get deeper dish at some stage but they have just been gathering dust. Sooooooo it is only logical.... Stay tuned !!

      If by "flap disc" you meant "chocolate wheel".... then they are OK for getting off stubborn remnants. But not for stuff with bulk depth. If by "flap disc" you meant "abrasive paint f**ker"....
