This is probably going to sound odd....but assuming you are doing a rebuild but want to keep the price down, check out the cost of brand new pistons and rings from nissan, they were quite reasonable last I checked.

Also FWIW, rods are generally reusable (and will be obvious if they aren't), and so is the oil pump unless the motor spun a bearing. Second hand oil pumps are a minefield because its hard to tell if they are in good condition

Yeah sort of, going to try 26 internals in 25 block so just a mockup/low cost rebuild as a test to make sure its going to work, pistons are the main thing I need at this stage I think I seen new OEM pistons were about 100-150ea so not far off just going forged but a bit more than I would like to spend considering its just a trial at this stage.

As for the oil pump I accidentally broke the housing.

      Please do not connect it to your manifold. If you do, as GTS suggested please record the lot in 4K with good mics attached.   On the factory Skyline, there's a upside down pipe that allows it to breathe, looks like this

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      For me I'd need some serious justification for why it has blown out.  Have you questioned him on it?  To be honest if you didn't question him right from the get-go on the first invoice that was already way over the initial quote and then you've (presumably) then paid another $1375 on top of the first invoice, then you're pushing shit uphill to get a favourable result now... It was years ago I last got an engineer out but it was around $450-$550 per visit.  That was just to inspect each progress point he gave me for the project.  Is he just doing progress inspections or is he providing engineering diagrams, technical assistance, etc??  If he's not, he's a filthy rip off merchant.  If the $3100 is the final sign off then you need to cop it on the chin, pay it and move on.  If it's not, piss him off and get a new one.  Not many Jeeps I'd value at $10K full stop let alone just engineering fees on a written off, half actual value WOVR Jeep....

      Oh, yes. If you connected it to the manifold your first drive would be very eventful. Very shit. Very interesting. Perhaps take a video if you feel the need to see. Terminating the breather at the top of the bellhousing is normal/stock. Some gearbox lubes (hello Redline Shockproof) like to foam up a bit and require the breather to be extended up higher, so you don't get spots of smurf jizz staining the floor under your car. Mine is thus right up behind the head. Make sure you fit a u-bend at the top so it points back downward so that dirt and schmutz has a harder time getting into it.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By Duncan · Posted

      It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue
