so, would the loose rocker covers make it loose oil pressure? And will the compression difference be a problem? If the rings may be on their way out?

The oil does not look watery.. and it doesn't blow any steam out of the exhaust.. just black fuel smoke when your pinning it.

I did a search for similar topics.. but nothing that matched my topic. Ok guys, this is what has happened. It was super hot day the other day, i noticed my oil pressure gauge drop as though i had no oil pressure. so i pulled over and the tappets where ticking etc as though there was no oil. The engine seemed super hot. Checked the oil, the gauge said there was plenty of oil, and when i held the throttle on the oil pressure picked up to 40psi.. then drop off when i stopped at the lights. so i switched the car off at all the lights and the car got me home. The next morning, the oil level was full, but.. i had no radiator fluid.. there was a hole in the bottom.. and the water was flowing out as quick as i was pouring it in. so.. that explains the super hot engine. Now.. the oil was pissing out of the rocker cover.. causing lots of smoke out of the engine bay, so i bought a new kit and replaced it. i did notice that i was undoing the screw down bolts with my fingers.. so that explains the oil pissing out over the exhaust, and i'm hoping the dropping oil pressure. When i started the car in the morning.. cold.. the oil pressure held at 40psi with no sign's of dropping, though i think it need's to be 60psi at cold idle. So.. i just did a compression check the engine cold.. and i got 1... 160psi 2... 160psi 3... 145psi 4... 130psi 5... 150psi 6... 150psi I don't believe the head gasket has gone.. but it does seem the piston rings on the 3rd and 4th cylinder's are on their merry way. Q1, with the rocker cover gasket's no being secured down and not sealing correctly.. will that drop the oil pressure? Q2, will it hurt my engine with such a compression variation? Q3, is their another method of checking for a blown head gasket? remember there is no water in the cooling system.. i need to get a new radiator.

are you on aus z car? doing the project build up?

When i did my install.. i fed the larger positive wire all the way to the fuel pump itself. I also upgraded the earth wire from the pump to chassis. the only thing i had to do was increase the hole size's on the pump bracket inside the tank for the new wire to fit in. It's easy to do and should really be done i believe.

Hey people.. i just bought myself a datsun 260z 2+2.. just seeing who else in the skyline community has them?

so is this the vgdett or vgdet turbo?

nice work chris.. thats awesome!

ive done a write up in the faq section.. searching this section will give you the rewards your after

its the bushes on the armature.. not a loose nut holding the fan on(it spins in tightening direction). you need some conductive grease on the armature/brushes.. or a whole new setup.

if you ran a switch setup where the lever hits the corresponding switch which illuminates the light to tell you what gear your in.. but.. if you cant work out gear your in by feel.. you should really be driving an auto.

i thought the floor pans were completly different between the two.. which made it why a gtr box couldnt go int a gtst floorpan car

well.. i did the mod on my car today, but i re wired it all the way to the fuel pump itself. but i t still didnt fix my problem. Though.. i did notice my injector duty cycle did increase dramatically after doing this mod.

i bought one.. for my 32gtst.. works fine.. no installation hassles.. shifts fine.. was a bit noisy.. but made a rubber gasket so to speak.. im not sure who i got it off on ebay.. and it was alot more expensive.. but definately wasnt a known brand item. i love it, and so does everybody else who drives my car.

sitting close enough to the tv? golly gosh! sit back further...

thats cool, you like your design, but it dosent say race car layout too me. selling plans to make money from it.. thats an idea. I run harnesess for the authentic feel.. its a race seat simmulator correct? besides i have bass engines in my seat to replicate engine noise car damage etc.. so the harnesses help with the feel of those too. and you must agreee.. most of the commerical ones are pretty flimsy and doesnt provide a authentic feel.

i meant on the return line from an external oil cooler..

do you think this could be used on lets say.. oil cooler lines? or rubber hoses maybe? im thinking it would.. and would be beneficial aswell.?

there all pretty much crappy looking to be honest.. very much indeed. including the the one repoman made. why dont you put a bit of effort into it and make your own? i have made one.. and about to make another. I have two wheels.. the logitech driving force pro.. and the g25. on the pro i have a gear lever, handbrake, i have alpine bass engines, i run racing harnesess.. its a complete setup.. way better than these other gimmics... build your own.. simple.

i think.. that the gt series were more based on street driven cars.. compared to the other pc games that are full race cars.. you get the idea? So.. in a nutshell people.. of course there going to be different. step back and look at it.... Secondly.. i feel that the gt series is probably the most simulator style race game on the consoles.. compared to the other arcade style games.. i dont know about pc.. i have a thumping games pc sitting next to me.. but dont like using it.. i prefer to run linux than windows.. . Oh.. and i have a full cockpit setup as well. i have two wheels.. the driving force pro and the g25 wheel. ive still yet to build another cockpit for the g25. But basically its a 180sx seat with the driving force pro wheel, with a seperate gear leaver, handbrake, i have alpine bass engines in the seat, race harness, its a full wrap around cockpit like a normal car.. the next one with the g25 i will fibreglass it like an f1 car.. with my bride fixed seat i have lying around. you cant get much more realistic than my setup.. when you finish playing.. you are shaking cause it feels so real.. i practise my drift with it when im not doing it at the track.

Hey people. i want an r32 gtst ecu. I have one, but i feel it may be faulty. So i am looking to get another oen to replace it to test to see if it is faulty or not. Thanks.

its all they are.. they just happen to be reporting on cars.

their are journalists at the end of the day. no different to say today tonight or 60 minutes etc.

morning mark!

just looked at his website.. its the mick i know.. and all the cars he has on his site are all mates of mine too. might go and have a chat to him through the week i think.
