You pair have nothing

You want a long cruise head out through cessnock to broke then take Charlie's road across to putty rd the head out the golden hwy to sandy hollow and turn onto Bylong Valkey way which goes back to Richmond then a short hop to Windsor and back up putty road to singleton and home

that doesnt look too bad, but looks to actually be a shorter route!

The Putty run we did a few years back was a long day, we did Old Pac, Galston Gorge, Windsor and then Putty Rd through to Singleton..... It was a 2 fuel stop trip on that run..... On that note, how far is that drive in KM? And have you mapped out fuel stops? (Taking into account that ill only make <300kms to a tank lol

ful trip is 650kms... you would have to see where to get your fuel from.

I will bring a spare bottom end, ill have to change that out when u guys fix what u break :ph34r:

Good plan! Anyone got a 2 poster they can bring?

I fuelled up in Sydney and then again in Singleton on our run.....

But my flex fuel is back on now so i can run whatever, not an issue :) Just have to run low boost with normal pump fuel :( Only 19psi lol

may need to plan this one for winter so its easier on the cars haha..

Yeah plus cooler = more wasps! And if the car bursts into flames we can all sit around the campfire and inhale the E85 goodness!

so the bad news for this week. according to my mechanic my crank shaft is f*cked an my easiest and cheapest way out is an engine swap. honestly i hate my life.

anyone know of any dirt cheap r33 rb25de motors kicking around?

Is the head still good?

If its a DE as you say then any VL bottom end with a light hone, new rings and bearings and your head fitted should do nicely

You need to fit an idler pulley for the belt return and I think that's it

Best bet is to do a search on here as there is a heap of info around just have to find it

As far as legalities go I'm not sure but if original engine number then no capacity increase

Sell car and get a PULSAR VZ-R N1. Iron chef has one up for sale. SR16VE N1 Engine.... stock 200hp, 1090kg and 6.8 secs 0-100

Put on a full exhaust, apexi power FC, splitfire super direct ignition,etc and youll have around 300hp at the flywheel and 0-100 in 5 second territory.

Face palm :no:

f**k that sucks man. wonder how much it'll cost to how much you could sell it for.

N/A engines should be cheap and pretty easy to get ahold of man!

    • 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.   
    • 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.
    • If you talk to restoration/restomod specialists in the coastal US they will turn their noses up at 150k USD jobs. Things are mildly insane here these days.
    • Sneaky. I heard the price was more than 4x that only an hour ago!
