  6. I could not find a replacement r35 cooler and have been concerned about putting the old one back in after the disintegration of my engine. I ordered the PWR replacement but it is less than half the volume so i wont be using it. I have pulled out the old one and pulled it apart. This is what i have done and i want to know if its too much of a risk to reuse it. I have flushed it with fuel I have flushed it with turps I have flushed it with degreaser I have attached one end to a garden hose and left it running for 10 minutes. I have reversed the sides and again left it running for 10 mins I have thrown it into the pool and left it there overnight I have attached one end to a garden hose and left it running for 10 minutes. I have reversed the sides and again left it running for 10 mins I also understand that the direction of flow is from the cooler to the oil filter which should trap any micro particles that get in. Anyone prepared to give further advice
  7. F....d if I know! Just driving through turn 9 (The one after Corporate Hill) at Eastern Creek when I heard a huge bang. I thought it was a tyre blow out until the car came to a slow halt leaving bits and pieces of car across 800 metres of track
  8. Thanks guys, Im going to take a billion photos of the engine when out and cleaned and then turn it into a Top Gear style Coffee table (If my wife lets me keep it in the house) Thanks guys for the oil cooler advice.
  9. After blowing the engine of the R35 into 4,823,163 pieces (Yes I counted) I decided to get my local mechanic to fit the engine rather than doing the sensible thing and send it to Martin at Willal. WELL on opening up the lines etc there are pieces of engine in the oil cooler, in the filter in all the oil lines we even found a gudgeon pin in the throttle body. We are going to flush everything out but how can we be sure that there is no shrapnel left in the circulatory system of the car.
  10. The three cars ready to go are TVR Chimaera, 1968 Camaro, 1965 Mustang I have workshop space in Parramatta, Northmead and Box hill NSW or you can take the car home and do it in your own time. Dominic
  11. We have 3 vehicles that we wish to have matte black vinyl acrylic applied to the entire exterior. This is also called body wrapping. We supply vinyl and cars and you can do the work at your place or ours at a time to suit you. We pay $600 cash per car on completion. An experienced professional applicator should take 2-3 days full time to carry out this work. We allow 7-10 days so that you can do it at your leisure, after hours, or at a time to suit you. You must be experienced as we will request one panel be completed before proceeding with the full job. Give me a call. Dom 0414626243

  13. Hi guys I bought an extra engine when I imported mine for race use. Greddy USA has bought the recalled engines with soft bearings, All had under 10k and they were rebuilt as follows. Pulled apart All parts checked New Nissan rod bearings with aftermarket WHP treatment New Nissan big end bearings with aftermarket WHP treatment New Nissan gaskets Crankshaft polished and balanced All parts blueprinted Put together to Nissans specs. These are BETTER than new. I bought one for targa 2012. Price is $18k. Contact Dom Its in Sydney now 0414 626 243
  14. That is a short block only as I contacted them, because I thought it was a great price. So add the head, gaskets, blue printing, fitting together and transport. Then customs of 5% and GST of 10% of the costs plus the transport. Quarantine, port docking fee, customs clearance handler. Id say your looking at about $23-$25k for the base 3.8 engine. Not including your labour, insurance, picking up the engine fom Port Kembla, the cost of money exchange, paying the money 3 months before you get the engine.
  15. Ok Ove listed it 4 sale at $20k plus GST, IE $22k It cost me $19800 including GST to get it here and I feel $2k profit is fair.

  21. Drummond Motor sport have finished the coilovers but cant dial in the drive split. Can anyone guide me (or them) through how to do it. This is todays email about teh car tested with new coilovers. "We had a good day at winton! results where good. It was good to have both Jeff and Ben drive the car. Jeff has a lot of experience and also does tyre testing with Bridgestone etc etc. Ben has more experience in cars like the R35 (his evo uses a similar gearbox.) Jeff did the first runs and Ben finished the day. Ben's imput was important in regards to Race circuit use and Jeff's imput was important in regards to Targa type events. As a Targa Car! the car is great and is very forgiving and easy to drive. (traction control on) As a Circuit car! we need to do more work, we need to work out how to dial in the drive split. The car with out Traction control: The car has power oversteer! this means the split isn't correct and needs to be adjusted for the race circuit to achieve the very best times from the car. Ben said he was able to induce power oversteer at any time."
  22. This is what they look like before fitting. Unfortunately havent tested yet.
