So tell me, who's going to give this a go? Also Steve, I saw one of the drop boxes that you mentioned today in a local chip shop in Villawood. It says "WIN (keyword WIN) a notebook computer and the Mathamagic Tutor program. Please don't tell me that the people who fill these out are the ones we'll be visiting?? Because they want to win it, not buy it. I can understand how so many people can be sceptical, this does sound too good to be true. You sure there's nothing more we need to know about the job? Thanks.

Hmm, I'm in Sydney and I just lost my job. This could be something to think about. Where abouts in Sydney does all this go down? The thing that's putting me off is the no sale, no cash thing. I dunno how good I'd be at selling something that expensive. Do you only target rich people or something? In case I overlooked it, you got a mobile number I can contact you on? Thanks

He certainly is. He's got my car again this weekend.

I thought I should do everyone a favour and bring this man to your attention. If none of you visit the Nissan Silvia forums then you may not of heard of him. His name is Sonny and he is very good at what he does. If you're thinking that the Skyline forums were not informed of his services because he has some beef with Skylines you'd be wrong, he's just not a regular internet user. So I thought I'd take it upon myself to inform you all. (You can thank me later). I browsed the Nissan Silvia forums and stumbled across a post with all of his work in it http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...ercooler+piping - http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=58188 He can pretty much make anything and everything for any car, and then install it as he is also a fully licenced mechanic. He can also paint and polish rocker covers etc for those of you that want more bling. Those links should answer most questions you might have. I gave him a call, told him what I wanted, he didn't tell me to buy crap that wasn't necessary, even told me that some of the stuff I wanted wouldn't be needed for the power I'm trying to achieve so he saved me a bit of money, and over the next coming weeks my car will be making regular visits to him until I hit 250+rwkw. I should probably add that his prices are very reasonable. Here are his contact details:- Sonny Mobile - 0412 035 703 Give him a call, I'm pretty sure he works nearly everyday of the week as he offered to take my car on Christmas Day? Happy New Year Enjoy!

I'm all engineered.

Thanks for all the input guys... and so promptly too. If the compression & leak down tests show that the engine is fine, how many more K's should I expect to get out of it before it does require a rebuild?? (Currently at 160,XXX). And worst case scenario, the tests reveals the worst. Do you think I could get away with just replacing the bearings, rods & pistons and leaving the rest as it is provided the other stuff is ok?? Maybe adding some adjustable cam gears if I get credit card happy. Also, I'm going to Just Jap today to get my manifold replaced under warranty, you guys know anyone/anyplace that could install it for a reasonable price and is available soonish. Thanks again everyone.

At the time I didn't have the money but now I have a credit card!, which is going to pay for all the components, as for the manifold I'm gonna get another one under warranty. For my next tune I think I'll go to SAS, I've heard good things. What mods did you guys use to achieve 250+kw wilch & ECR033???

I have experienced this very thing. I blew the gasket between the head and the manifold and the turbo and the dump pipe and after that is was louder, had a slight whistle when accelerating and of course my car now sounded like a tractor.

Well I dunno about the previous owner but in my care it has not been neglected or abused. Ok, well I'm not absolutely 100% positive the engine needs to be rebuilt but I don't want to spend the money on a bigger turbo, injecters etc to increase the power just to have the motor explode. So my aim is to just buy some forged pistons and rods, new bearings,head gasket, cams, cam gears and have the crankshaft balanced etc..etc and just pay someone to disassemble and reassemble it, and of course tune it. After all that, then add the turbo. I'm going to have the engine compression tested next week and I'll let you know the result. My main reason for concern about the engine is that after Advan installed and tuned the Power FC, knock levels were consistently high, was possibly leaning out, don't have an AFR gauge. So we had to disconnect the E-Boost and put it back to standard, runs fine now, but slow. Also just wondering what you guys think of the X-Force low mount manifolds, I have one on my car now which has warped and is leaking although it didn't sit perfectly on the head to begin with. And if you're wondering why they put it on my car in the first place if it didn't sit right is beucase upon removal of the standard one they broke every stud and they were stuck in the standard manifold and couldn't re-use it without more labour which I didn't want to pay for. Yeah so.. that's the kind of rebuild I'm after. I would probably even settle for genuine nissan parts. Thanks for readin'

Well first of all I will apologize if I have posted yet another rebuild topic, but I haven't had time to search the forums for the appropriate post. Ok, well I have a 95 R33 gts-t with 160,000kms which is lightly modified, nothing spectacular. It makes 186kw on 12psi and I am definitely chasing more but before I can go further I'm convinced my motor needs to be rebuilt. My question is this. How much for parts & labour and roughly how long will the rebuild process take as it is my only means of transportation and I don't want to take too much time off work. Also any engine rebuilders that you wish to recommend I would appreciate it. I am only looking to achieve around 250rwkw, so any rebuild kit that is capable of that kind of power and still be reliable would be fine. Thanks.
