A certain workshop i'n town decided to leave a cam cap not loose and it was sent to oil pump school. The reasoning behind me saying that this place Is full of dodge. All good tho, thinking of a spool 2.8kit. That or a freshen up and new pump ect. Gonna aim for A 10 this time.

was gonna take a coupla piccies on how to get the bastard out, but i cant get them to load up, missus got the camera atm so they are likely gone :(

now all i need is a winning lotto ticket and ill be on my way.

well, completely torn down, mains are pretty well ted, one big end is ted and the rest are suspect so im glad i got it quick, crank looks to be A O-K, might get away with a hone, just gonne get my mic's out and have a look in the daylight tomorow, head looks to be in pretty good nick, still need to dis-assemble it yet, number 6 slug looks to have possibly ingested a washer or something similar, taking the exhaust housing off the turbo tomorow to inspect in detail before i go and murder this workshop owner. On a brighter note, back to work on monday :)

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
