Were you with shannons?

How much did it cost, relative to what the agreed value was?

Some people have suggested this actually ends up 'making' money.

Who did the job?

Did you just do the engine, or the entire driveline, suspension, etc?

Mine is auto, there'd be a lot of wiring and random junk to do to. Most/all of which is undocumented and highly shit.

I was with just cars

Full comp insured for about $15k? Bought the car back for $3k

Who did the job? do you mean who assessed it? Some company down at Dandenong, next to Wheeltech, can't remember the name

I did just the engine, so sourced a 2nd hand neo and did that up. Mine was a manual

haha so many questions...

just give to Scotty for another week...

im doing a complete suspension, drivetrain auto to manual conversion in my Cressida..

its a lot of work but couple of guys and a hoist could knock it over in a few days...

I can give him a hand to speed up the process if he wants....and look at the bright side, 1, you will profit from this, 2..now we dont have to fix all those dents in your car. so you saved more cash.....good thing i hadn't fixed it already hey .. ;)

damn, dat all....i thought you paid double that...

If my car was stock i wouldn't have bought it back

Cept I did all my new turbo mods just before, and still had the Volk Te 37 wheels. So thought worst case scenrio wouldn't lose that much money

Process is easy if you DONT need a VIV

If you do, forgetaboutit....you may get alot of headaches...

Hey its valid to ask!

Doing just an engine swap not always as easy as a more complicated (shit) swap/setup/changeover/random problem.

Re: Tony, meant who did the whole engine swap job itself. Though if you bought your car back for 3k, why did you get another engine for the car you were transplanting it into?

huh.

Oh I have a mate, who is an engine re-conditioner by trade, which is quite handy

New engine due to the old engine being melted when stolen/written off... :(

Old engine was melted / fried by 91 octane that the bloke that stole it put in at a servo, combined with burnouts etc...

Yup 40c day and 22 psi boost doesn't get along with 91 octane

I'm sure he had a blast though

I really should thank him for the insurance payout though

Ah right. Sorry, I thought the CAR was written off so you moved your working engine/driveline into a new chassis.

Kind of the opposite, you bought the wreck back.. and then got a new engine and put it into your old/original chassis.

This makes sense to me now.

Mine is insured for 27k, which is the same cost as that GTR.

There's not many things a neo with an auto transmission, suspension setup for a 4DR, diff and driveshaft for a 4 door, exhaust for a 4 door will really fit into easily other than well, a 4 door.

Or maybe a S15.. they had the same auto originally... :ph34r:

Go buy the GTR

Then tell us what it's like once you are inside the inner sanctum of the GTR/Melbourne GTR/R33 GTR owners club!

I reckon he should be telling us how long he has left to live after he contracts aids from all the gay sex

Hrmm my car was listed as a repairable write off though insurance though

Just keep the neo engine, and go to a 2dr/manual of some sort

:woot: I doubt they will write that off unless its severly bent....

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
