after looking at those last pics of the engine dismantled etc i seriously can't wait to see this all put together!! I especially wanna see how the white painted covers look in the bay (hope you're cleaning your engine bay while it's empty too!!).

is it weird to get hard looking at engine internals/parts?

you should see whats air brushed onto the engine cover :):banana: ........thanks for the reminder i knew i had to clean something ..what do you think the best thing to clean it with besides elbow grease :O

airbrushed....oh you didnt..... how could you?!?!? haha i suppose each to their own. maybe if it was something reaaaaally tacky like zebra or leopard print i wouldn't mind it - but you've probably done a silly 'graphic' of skulls or something haven't you? haven't you!!?! come on, lets see it.

degreaser for real grubby parts or just use car wash stuff probably. and yes, ample portions of elbow grease unfortunately.

skulls are for novice ive gone one big step up from that ive put the cast of high five on it having a orgy with teletubies .......perfection what do you think.

boys....boys the key word is save your money and it will happen for you it took me a while to save the money $60 a week for two years plus my tax money for two years plus selling shit on ebay putting up with dickheads and just knowing what you want and doing it and giving up smoking and having more money .,and having good friends to help paint things and air brush things and build engines for you..so anyone can do it ive been doing it that way for a long time so all i can say is if you really love something than just do it.....even if it takes 2years

sitting down waiting for things to happen does not work

EG.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • 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.
