Well i cant say my day was very hard Troy as i spent half the day going up to Nambour to get Chris's slotted brakes to fit this weekend...

Boy o boy can the guys up there talk, i was there for like an hour chatting about motorsport...

yeah I have been at dans and fitted my water pump and oil pump. Seated the cam saddles and helped him sand the bonnet of his car :) so overall pretty cruisy day just for got to have lunch but.

well, i'm finished for the day kids. i will cya all tomorroww, if the server doesnt die on us again.

let me know (sms) if you decide on what you want to do troy.

I have been sitting at Allstar since 8.15am. Seems what we thought was my throw-out bearing wasn't!!!

I also need to replace my oil feed line as the $150 braided and speedflow fitted one i have is not good enough aparentlly... I now need to spend $150 more to get a silver soldered one...

Even though I have done nothing today, I feel wasted. Seeing doctor tomorrow morning and maybe get more time off. May need help moving some stuff on the weekend if ANY of my plans come together. Probably not..

And it was the spigot bush in the end, after we tried everything else first!!

Would like to get out of the house tonight though. Movie would be good!!

Apparently my car is ready so have something organised by the time I get home!!

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
