Just had a quick look and tried to do it but just ended in a fight, baby crying etc. usually when I do these I can tilt engine back a fair way but this new one due to rear oil drain I can't. With proper help would it be feasible to lift engine out of mounts forward a bit? Attach box and lift both back in place?

Maybe it's a strength thing Duncan do u have any time free this week? Jez suggested lowering engine cross member which sounds like it could help but definitely with the wife and myself there wasn't enough man power to twist and maneuver that's for sure

Sorry to hear about the bad news and all the best in the future man

I had the same problem brain tumour when I was 15 size of a 50c cent pushing on my brain had it removed urgent lucky it was benign.

First surgeon didnt want to completely remove it all as it was too close to the brain so caused me issues later when I was 19 years old so had surgery again and the new dr brian Owler cleaned the rest up havent had any problems yet now I'm 23.

I had yearly MRI but dr thinks its ok now as you get older they don't seem to come back and said I don't need anymore mri's unless I have problems

Hope you have a similar outcome all the best good luck

Thanks man depends how the surgery went the first time took longer as the surgeon was abit of a butcher jks

Had a Massive scar down the back of my head proberly round 2 months always felt tired and the second time the surgeon was great only small scar on the right rear of my head and a small circle on the top of fr of my head felt like I healed up quicker but maybe I was older then maybe 1month and abit

I'm never going to be the same but

my balance is still abit off and the right side of my body is abit laggy

My right hand is abit shakey but I had to learn to wright with my left I was right handed before

That's how the specialist found it my right side oft body was lagging and bad headaches he sent me to get a MRI straight away

I'm about 8 weeks post op now and own a business and go in for a few hours here and there but I have trouble with complex forward planning and some times forget things, big issue is I have bugger all strength as well as getting fat from being in bed lol I'm just not sure if I can ever be the same and managing 10 staff the stress is sometimes too much but surgeon keeps saying its normal your doing good blah blah

  • 1 month later...

He is super busy and hopefully still very skilled lol, the reason I will send cars there from now on (provided tune is nice) is he is always willing to talk or help. It seems very rare these days and I hope he is very sucessfull because of it.

Hey buddy,

Saw your car up at Jez's place. Had a poke around the engine bay, looked good. Real credit to you.

Not sure the -5s will reach your optimistic power goal, but it will be a blast to drive once your ready. :)

Thanks mate I miss seeing it lol, long as its in the 400 and above I'm happy as that's a 10 second car and I just want to say I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time and for those 10 seconds or less I'm free lol

I lold at this hahaha

Go hard or go home right!!

Yep, judging by many previous forged 26 results 400 and something at between 25-30 psi depending how engine reacts is easily achievable with e85 hence the 2000cc injectors and 23 on 98 should see 370 Ish hopefully. I asked jez not to kill it but it will only do cruise days a few 400m passes and some hill climbs but not circuit days as yet so not fully lean and mean but not conservative either

    • To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.
    • OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.
    • Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
    • I plan to pull the intake manifold off and check the gaskets, i read that the block to manifold gasket can blow over 14psi and when i picked up the car it was set to 1.2bar on the controller. Send the injectors out for cleaning. Ill also pull the cam covers off and do an inspection, check some valve lash. Someone also said that the timing belt can rub or vibrate against the belt cover and make that sound. Definitely need to get an AFR gauge on it, if it was lean idling im sure it wont be happy
