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.

    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
