Yehh, results would be excellent :glare:

Haha would use E85 if it was an option here, but I'm not paying $3 a litre. Until it becomes more available, I'll be on PULP.

It'll happen man!! No rush ;)

Hope you get the E85 over there one day soon!

Haha yeh, would be good. At the moment I'm more likely to go WMI, it's just way easier. To be honest though, I think any more engine mods are on hold for awhile. Whatever power it makes with this tune is where it will stay for now. I just want to drive the damn thing again. The original plan was to have it ready for the reopening of Barbegallo, but I've overshot that by about 2 months now :( Dying to hit the track again.

Actually next money might be on a lap-timer, I still don't know what I'm getting around Barbs :unsure:

So the saga continues... Engine failed on the dyno today. Valves are sticking open. Don't even know where to start, but tomorrow I have to pick the car up and get it home. No idea where it goes from here.

Boo

Timing belt?

Unfortunately RBs are interference motors :(

So sad to hear this man!

Nothing so obvious. If it had been a complete engine failure then I could just buy a new motor. But according to Sean, mine is still drive able. It's only when he tried to do a full load power run that the engine loses compression and he has to abort.

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 馃槅
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
