Bolted my oil pump with reimax gears on my block tonight. Next step is to fit the nitto oil drain to the head and start looking at doing valve springs. Anyone know of a decent brand that does springs for neo heads?

<br /><br />Your in luck I have a magnetic snapon tool used for removing the collets.I used it when I was changing the stem seals makes it easy.<br /><br />Also with the nitto head drain have you tapped it into the Welsh plug or removed it completely. Are you locating the drain pipe to the exhaust side of the sump or intake side.? Did you also put the restrictor on the block.

Looks good except for that weirdo reflection thing going on there. :D

Today, I drove the 31 and the 33 and didn't put a spanner to either of them.

My Free 27mm Sway bar bushes arrived too.

Maybe spanners tomorrow...

Made up some speaker plates to mount my new speakers in the doors and the rear shelf, soldered/heat shrunk all the old twist and tape wiring

finally i have a working sound system

Congrats - good effort

Well I have a Suziki Swift GA (1992) with a listed power level of 39kws at the fly. :woot:(1litre and 3 Cylinders)

This is seriously a NO frills car. No PS, A/C, Radio (with only 1litre it cant really power headlights - LOL)

Asked my neighbour yesterday if it ran and what he was doing with it as it hadn't moved since July last year.

He responded it wasn't running and he was quoted $1000 to fix. So he de-registered it as these aren't worth much more running.

Asked him how much he wanted and he said take it !, as even the wreckers said they would charge him to tow it away.

So I pushed it up to mine and checked it out

Found the Cat had collapsed (hence why he said it had no "power" before it stopped, Air filter was full of chaff ! , dead battery, Windscreen crack right across the screen and the kicker .............................. No fuel

The paint work is all oxidised badly (not hard to clean up).

So went to try start it with the jump pack. Main fuse blew while trying to turn it over and I realised the fuel gauge didn't move off Empty.

Today on the way home I got some fuel and a new 60amp relay fuse. Now she runs :w00t: (the lawn mower sounds better and has more grunt too)

Shame it wasn't a GTi (1.3ltr). They came out with forged internals and are easily turbo'd.

None the less a small project to tinker with

Sweet! Good onya mate. That will be a fun little project. Nice pickup. :D

SDMA Vehicle perhaps? ;)

Swift 1L 3 cylinder 39kws of Awesome vs Micra 1.2L 3 cylinder 59kws of Fury

Finally out powered you. :laugh:

    • That's it. Too rich for me. I'm out. If it does start to sell in pieces, I'll probably register an interest in the diff & axles, gearbox & tailshaft, and maybe the brakes.
    • I tried my best, well I see how it is though... It's time to be ruthless! I'll up my bid with a JVC sub and an amp to run it, 8 stainless steel drink coasters with a rubber backing, and a photo of Tom Cruise. Oh, I can increase the cash portion by 20 cents if that helps. 
    • Or if it's grey, is it watery? Does it do it after you've been for like an hour long drive it will still do it, or just near the start of the trip? As GTS said, does it seem like oil (blue), water (white/grey) or fuel (black)? Sometimes the colour can be hard to see clearly too for what it is, as GTS says, what's it smell like?
    • I wonder if part of it has to do with when you've each bought the kits. I honestly have the feeling that the silicon joiners in the 2000s were actually better quality than most of what you can find these days. Even in the same brands. Everyone racing to the cheapest price while still trying to make profit means lower quality parts. For coolant, I personally would be going with rubber, OR, converting the radiator and engine to use the huge AN fittings hose for radiators.
    • If shift solenoid A is bad, that explains limp mode --- now you're in the same position as I mentioned previously, in that the next step is to confirm loom/wiring integrity from TCU to gearbox connector with a multimeter (the TCU cannot detect a broken wire, which can happen ..ie; rodent damage, loom rubbed through)...and then finally measure resistance (at the gearbox connector) for shift solenoid A ... ...once you confirm shift solenoid A is bad (open circuit, really low or greater than 40ohm resistance), then it's a job ; you have buy a complete solenoid set, get under the car and drop transmission oil pan, and remove valvebody assembly (the solenoids sit on top), replace solenoid set, and reassemble....it's not exactly a fun task, but readily doable.
