My car is no where near finished, I keep wasting money on stupid things like alto's (you wait till you see it next adam it's had a few mods) all I need now is ebc, computer, motor rebuilt and a slap of paint, and she'll be good to go. I'm in no rush.

You know your gonna have to take me for a strap crimmo, I wanna experience a fast DR.

[Adam_RSX]

You've modded it already? I havent even been to the bank yet lol

I figured you must have had some plans for it. Oh, did I have the most mortified look ever on my face when I discovered the pinprick leak in the radiator?

[DR JOSH]

Well sitting here I have 13 x 5.5" enkeis (watanabe look alikes), a crap BOV, and a boost gauge ready to go in over the weekend along with a cut and polish and a lowering job. It's getting an exhaust next week at some point (cheap cheap).

[Adam_RSX]

Watanabe look-alikes would be tough on it. If any of my wheels had actually fitted I would have kept it, but the Watanabes, Enkeis and Longchamps are all too wide. It was going to get a guage last week but the vacuum lines were too hidden for me to be bothered

Selling some odd stuff that is no longer usefull to me:

Where is Grand Nissan located?  Is that the one on North East Road?

Morphett Vale.

[Adam_RSX]

OUCH!!!!!

No oil pumps in stock in Australia.... $1500 to get one from Japan

[DR JOSH]

How about an external aftermarket oil pump. I dont know how doable or pricey it would be but could be an option.

[Adam_RSX]

Oil pump ended up being in decent condition.

Ordered new rod and main bearings (they were a little worn but may as well do them), full gasket set, new chain tensioners and a genuine oil filter or two from God (better known as Stuart Wilkins)

The FJ looks even tougher with the rocker cover off than it does with it on!

The sump ended up being pretty much undamaged, the pics I took must have had weird lighting because its pretty much fine though it does look like the pickup had hit the sump.

[Adam_RSX]

Weird... I thought I'd get billed $800+ (assumed the listing of $70 for main bearings and $37 for rod ends was each, plus the gasket set and tensioners)

But my visa was only billed $548.95 today, it doesnt come up with who its billed to, but I assume its SWR.

Does $70 and $37 each for the bearings sound right, or $70 and $37 for the full sets?

[Adam_RSX]

Oh, does anyone have a sump in decent condition, apparently mine is a bit thin in spots, theyre just worried that another bump from a rock or something may punch through it

[0HR-30T]

Prices would be for sets. You've been chasing a sump for ages,can you not use the sump off the atmo donk you got?

[Adam_RSX]

Didnt buy the atmo in the end, the guy that was buying my Watanabes didnt come up with the money so I think I've forfeited the deposit on the engine

Havent really been chasing a sump, was after a pump before

[0HR-30T]

Fair enough Might be easier to buy a short motor or one to suit rebuild rather than chase parts maybe?

[D-limo]

How much did you end up paying for a pump?..Casue my mates one has just gone

[Adam_RSX]

OHR30T I'm not chasing parts, I've already ordered everything and it will be arriving on monday. I'm just looking for a sump to replace mine at some point.

slide247 as I said before, I didnt replace the pump, mine ended up being fine. Gears were really good and the housing has only the very very very slightest scoring so its going back in.

Went and looked at all the bits after they had been washed yesterday, the aluminium bits like the housing and the water pump look seriously sexy when theyre shiny

[0HR-30T]

Oh,my bad I thought I read somewhere you were after other bits as well.. Hope it all comes together
