Nismo 3.2ish

haha, now you tell me , 18 months ago would have been a better time, lol

I see the Veteran, Vintage and classic Insurance has had a change. It was that you could do up to 9000klms a year . This works out to 750klms a months. Now it is up to "10 times" a months, a little under 2.4 times a week. BUT you could drive , say 1000 a day for 10 days a month, if you wanted to, 10,000 klm PM X 12 months and that could be 120,000klms PA. I know this is over the top. hope my math is close,(lol) So on the other side , you might only do 20klm each time you took your car out, 200klm a month or 2400klm PA. So it turns into an honour system as no one could say if you drove it very day or not

Thanks mate, it is not the end of the world for me, but if it happened to a young bloke that was spending his last cent on a build, it would be devastating ! I cannot wait to get it back , now were pretty sure the block is cracked, looks like between 2 & 3 cylinders , it being sent to a motor builder to pull down and start the build again and then back to the shop to put it all back together, looking at a fair wait , maybe 6-8 weeks but I am sure it will be worth it

That is a great observation , too much negativity, really Having ones motor farked is good reason to be negative , but I am waiting for a report back from the motor builder.

HI Josh, comes up OK, but black is a pain. looks good cleaned up It seems I have been on hold for EVER, lol Probably to do with my arrogance

Just from reading this I can pick out a couple for you., Well most of them I guess. I no doubt have a few ?

Is there one particular one you would choose or just a general mix ? the quality of being arrogant. "the arrogance of this man is astounding" synonyms: haughtiness, conceit, hubris, self-importance, egotism, sense of superiority; pomposity, high-handedness, swagger, boasting, bumptiousness, bluster, condescension, disdain, contempt, imperiousness; pride, vanity, immodesty; loftiness, lordliness, snobbishness, snobbery, superciliousness, smugness; pretension, pretentiousness, affectation; scorn, mocking, sneering, scoffing; presumption, insolence; informaluppitiness, big-headedness "to dismiss all the academic work on the subject displays breathtaking arrogance"

How do you work that out, that statement needs backing up. But you seem like some other blokes on here, put your brain in gear before you flap your trap. lol

That is about how it was, when cold about 100mm of water came out the plug hole first. It was a slow leak and marginally more when boost was used. The situation is a real pain in the arse/ pocket as well !

I took them to NCAT, a tribunal were you can negotiate and come to a mutual agreement, I sat at home on the phone during this procedure. he was just a smart arse and told me to fark off, I didn't! This situation is early days and the motor has to be checked , I am sure it can be worked out, until then it is just another bump in the road. Some blokes should put themselves in the other persons shoes before posting, think about what you would do in the same situation , roll over like a dog , yeah sure ?

What do you mean "again"?

My priority is getting my car fixed !

I am amazed sometimes on this thread. At first the water lose was on a low boost run in tune and limited to 5000rpm, this was in March this year. This water situation started from the first day of the build, it was not noticeable at first as I was checking the radiator, cold in the mornings and not the overflow, once the overflow emptied then it was noticeable from the radiator. I have always checked from the radiator so I knew exactly how much water was being used, I used a measuring cup. The amount used on different driving situations was and is the same from day one as it was when we found the water in the oil. Yet the oil still looked clean on the stick , not as you would expect ?

Not looking good, motor is out and about a 90% chance the block is farked

Hi Peter My advice is what I was told after I bought my car , go and drive as many as you can. If you have friends with a skyline ask for a drive or go to sale yards and drive as many as you can. You might even find the car you want. I say this because this is exactly what I did "NOT" do and I have kicked myself ever since Since you have muscle cars, do not expect a Skylines to drive the same around town as your muscle car, most are 2.6 ish and heavy. Take them on a drive , but get the turbo/s going through some twisty stuff and There are so many things you can do with these cars to make it drive the way you want, but be prepared to pay for the experience. But if you know what you want out of the car , speak to like mined blokes on these types of sites and work out a plan and check out the price for the mods you might need. But, you say you are getting it next week , so I guess what I am saying could be too late, all the best Pete

Hi Austin There is a thread here on SAU, Fix Your R34GTR Mfd Multinational Display Lcd Give that shot, my screen is stuffed but look OK when it is on All the best

sure did need editing , good job, lol

Not going to say anything until the problem is found and fixed, I will go from there but while the car is in the shop might do a couple of tweaks. Car goes in 12th of next month I will not bore you blokes until I have some results and poke the new Dyno Graph up

Who said it was a head gasket, hope you are right, I tend to always think the worse and anything less is always a better outcome

Jez will be doing the work. Cams were dialled for a more even result, top and bottom I believe Chemiweld had already been used, but that is only a guess If I did change the CR . probably go 9:1 But I will not make any decision until it is pulled down and the problem found and go from there once I find out the initial problem

Could do, do not know. I will probably have the motor out by the look of things and will see what can be done at the same time ???

I am the same, so Fn pathetic . Got a 14 year old still at home and the car, how sad, haha I have no info to offer and I need to know what has happened before I shoot my mouth off, guessing is not fair on anyone. All I know is, it is back to exactly how it was after the build, the difference is now I know where the water is going and the car has not moved since. Just sitting there like a bird with a broken wing, boohoo, poor me Cars booked in for the 12th of October, once it is in , might have a few things tweaked, cams and CR to see what happens ?

Thanks for the info, it all helps If I could pick, i'll take the #2 please, lol Now it is a waiting game , AGAIN

They think it is a seperate problem to the one that has been there since the build. I drive the car and think it is exactly the same as it has been for months, but???

Not wrong, lol Just something else, it will be fixed ASAP and off I go
