Will be good to see it back on the road... it sucked so bad to see it in trouble so soon after getting it on the road :(

On an unrelated note... you didn't happen to have Anna with you? :sweat:

(bottom left) lol

Im guess in Anna was there...

Dan was not scratching he was passing wind on the HK bag...

yes dan would be intrested to see what is in the motor my self...

I did see the motor in parts (before being built & after) with the new big & main end bearings being fitted & also the flat top pistons & a S/Steel head gasket to be fitted, so will be intrested to see if Micheal (M & what ever it was motorsport over at Murarrie on Murarrie Road) has put all these parts in or if in fact the parts that I saw in the RB was from the other car that he had in the work shop...

Dan also if the block is too far gone (looks like it) I have a block you can have for free & can bring it to you if needed, motor was good till it got a little to smokey for my liking.

That would be awesome mate. Yeah crank is completely knackered. When I do my engines I like to keep the crank and block matching as they are line bored to each other. So if your RB30 block and crank is still ok, I would gladly accept it. I'm sure Ben won't mind the $150 saving either.

Also you are wlecome to come and have a look at it if you like. Only the sump is off and half the big end and mains (lower half). Waiting on confirmations from Ben before I crack into it. If I get the go ahead I will let you know what the outcome of the engine parts enquiry is.

wow, Nice ass Dan! How come I didn't notice last time we meet? hahaha

Ben, I dont think you feel too sad abt the break down, coz you know you will get it back even better( besides, you always got some other skylines to give you the ride, lucky..). As to the money spent.......I can feel it. (getting my car retune, air-con regass, check coolen ratio, etc......might not have the money to do the serviing.....) Anyway, looking forward to see your car back on the street again! THen go for a cruise? Yeh, I am such a cruise freak....haha

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
