Hey GTR.Maverick, she's looking good! Looks like she's got a good home...thank you :) I loved this car! The guy who I sold it to (Chris) didn't have any trouble with it but were you the guy that bought it from him? I heard it had engine troubles somewhere along the way....never skipped a beat for me though. What's she got at the wheels now?

Been a while since I checked in here, sorry for the late reply. I bought it off Chris and maybe 4months later the head gasket went so went to GT Garage when Nick Summers owned for an engine out rebuild,

- new N1 block 

- Nitto rods and CP pistons

- Koyo 52mm radiator 

- custom fabricated intake piping by Jake from Weld Logic

- Haltech platinum pro ECU

Few other bits and pieces and then Nick custom tuned it, makes just over 300awkw now. Could've made more but the system couldn't keep up so we set it at a safe level. It's overdue for some more work but holding off til I buy a house and can justify the spend.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
