Hi Mate,

Engine has done 90,000kms since I bought it, and 170,000 is on the car. The engine was very strong, Fatz drove it the last day it was running and said that all it needed was a bigger turbo... actually the only reason I pulled it out was because we had the bigger engine pretty much done, and I am really not 100% sure I want to sell it, as I'm thinking about keeping it as a spare engine if I lunch this one.

Overall condition... it always got serviced less than 5000kms, I always run top oils, make sure that it is running good fuel and looked after it extreamly well, I was getting all the stuff through sponsorship... Never ran more than 0.8bar of boost.

Never had a problem with the engine, except for a cracked exhaust manifold, that is it.

Engine was sealed before I took it out of the car.

Let me know if you want some other info, or more specific info.

Cheers,

Dan.

sorry for the hi-jack, free bump I guess

Just wondering whether your mspec front bar came with the 2 grills on the bottom part or if you bought them somewhere.

Or if you want to sell them to me I'm only 15 min drive to Penrith on the m4 :domokun:

I am selling the with the bar, which should be going in the next 2 weeks. They came with the bar, might try jsut jap or SSS automotive?

Hey, Thanks anyway dude.

If it's not too much trouble, could you see if the grills have any product or number code on them? I'll try to order them through nissan lincorp because nobody else has got them, a product code would really help.

All the best mate

Cheers

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
