That isn't the sole reason.

Ps. I only damaged one and gave up trying, they killed one then decided oh we don't have the tools to do this.

no Multi-grip? sounds like a poor excuse for a job they obviously didnt want to be bothered with.

Best of luck with the tune.

Bit of a warning tho, youve been driving without a tune since the last round of mods. Rb25's are notorious for damaging ringlands. your oil useage could refelct the start of some piston damage. I found out the hard way (back on April 11th) and am still without any mode of transport .... :/

yeah it sounded like they didnt want to do it, the moment they started working on it and decided they were not gonna tune it everyone went home as my car was the only work for the day.

i'm actually concerned that something happened down there and thats why they didnt touch it because since i've picked it up it hasn't been running too well, i'm hoping its just the heat but i've had dodgy workshops do stupid things before.

i think i read rb enignes dont like detonation, im guessing this is what your talking about. i was hoping to get it all tuned by now but it appears that everyone is either too busy or just doesn't want to touch nistune anymore. oh well i will pull the shaft out tomorrow and im sure that hi power racing and ben phillips would love to make some money doing the final tweaks on my ecu.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I have seen a case where the starter motor shorting against the casing caused a massive voltage drop + so much EMI that it caused all the sensors to spew garbage data at the ECU. Test the battery to make sure it has acceptable CCA/capacity first, I have gotten "brand new" batteries before that couldn't even power a 10W light bulb without dying probably because it sat in a warehouse too long without being charged. Only easy way to diagnose this 100% is put an oscilloscope on the battery and also look at key sensors to see if there's any clues.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      There's a bunch of smaller shops that don't quite attract Singer money but are still hiring from that same pool of labor. Those are the body shops that you go to when you can't afford a Singer, but your old Porsche needs some serious bodywork. You can't exactly take those cars to the usual insurance body shops. When I say restomod, I mean they'll do something other than 100% OEM/OEM-equivalent aftermarket parts R&R. In the Porsche world this would be stuff like taking a 50k 964, doing a bunch of deferred maintenance/unwinding the nightmares the previous owners did to the car because a lot of people that own these cars tended to be penny wise, pound foolish types, then maybe some relatively simple off the shelf modifications to things like suspension, transmission, engine, headlights, etc. and you've spent 130k USD. When even the worst houses in the poor neighborhoods are worth 1M USD and the nice houses in wealthy neighborhoods are worth 3-10M USD suddenly 130k spent on a 50k car seems cheap.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Hoping to get a few ideas to help troubleshoot this issue, I'll try to keep it short.  A mate popped the motor in his 2018 LDV T60 with the 2.8 turbo diesel motor. He swapped it and I was his phone a friend when he got stuck.  The new motor is in, however it won't fire. The battery is literally brand new, when you crank it the volts very quickly (say 2 seconds of cranking) drop to 8 volts and the engine stops turning over. Watching the belts, I'd say they move about 5cm before coming to a stop. We put a booster pack on, no change.  The only potential issue I'm aware of is, when we pulled the motor the grounding strap was still attached. The strap copped a thrashing before we realised what was going on. It looks okay-ish but it's going to be replaced to rule it out.  The main challenge is, I wasn't there for 90% of the work. This is his first time doing any major work on a car and he was learning as he was going. He thinks everything has been put back together properly, however I'm not entirely confident that this is the case.  It would be good to get some ideas about what else to check. The car isn't spitting any codes so that doesn't help.  I've attached a photo, because why not lol.

      Did anyone here buy the crashed N1 R32 GTR at auction?

      By funkymonkey · Posted

      I mean an N1 came with a minimal paint thickness compared to dealer models. It’s probably had a ton of vinyls and stuff possible a race paintjob or two over the years. you don’t buy an N1 for its stunning good looks or comfort 🤣 you buy it to send it and measure how much air you can get on the hill at Bathurst

      Yeah, but "restomod" implies Singer and things like it, which implies drug money / trust fund maturity.
