Ahhh, so its you hey, I seen this 32 sitting out the back of the workshop, though it was dumped so I stripped it, LOL.

What was the verdict, piston ?

cheers guys ill hit those workshops up and see what they can do, what sorta price range to do the rebuild for yas?

lol, its still insured mate so can u take the whole thing, I put it in the shed out back if ur still lookin for it haha

ahh got the head off yesterday and its got damage to the piston in the valve clearance, looks sorta pitted, still doesnt really explain 0 compression though, have to check the rings now.

hmm the pitting is on both valve reliefs and the valves look ok.... ive come with the terms that i want a forged rebuild and im goin to put some decent power through it anyway, in additon the engine was put together like crap, done 12,000kms since the build and its got oil leak, loose bolts, rust on the inlet cam lobes... just a rubbish job and im not puttin 600hp through it casue it wont last lol

croydon racing.

they might be abit more expensive but i wouldnt trust anyone else. quality of work and attention to detail is amazing.

they built my 26 (600 hp) and havnt had a single problem and they were extremley helpful through out the whole build which was a year ago now.

u dont want sum1 who is just going to slap the engine together and send you on your way

This is another one where people need to refer to THIS...

There are too many people with varying experiences at different workshops, so the best bet is to make a few calls or visits to workshops YOU'VE got in mind and make up YOUR OWN decision based on how comfortable YOU are with the information YOU'VE been given.

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
