Log books to confirm low kms?

Records are somewhere in my friends shop.. but they are there.. I bought the car with 76xxx (imported from Japan, apparently the previous owner was some middle aged fellow), rolled it up to 95xxx, mostly highway driving, and with no problems at all..

...who didn't have the time to drive it and has been kept in a dry, clean garage under a car cover for the past 7 years, explaining the low (genuine!) mileage. Also, the car goes really good for what it is. Possibly a 'freak' engine from the factory

The motor had a tuned ecu plus intake/exhaust, that is ALL. No turbo, no boost controller, nothing putting any extra stress on it. I kept up the maintenence. I didnt even drive it hard. I just dont get it. Low kilometer motor thats great one day, dying the next.

/rant.

whoa on second thoughts nick, looks like this particular salary man was in a heck of hurry every week to get his fix...

Op, sometimes, and i mean only sometimes you shouldnt swallow every pill people tell you is good for you...

Sounds to me like you had a stuffed injector staying open and dumping fuel (from the stored pressure in your fuel system) into a cylinder. Cylinder fills up (fluids are incompressible remember) and when you try to start it if the piston on the full cylinder is on its way up it hammers f**k out of the gudgeon pin (little end) and "pop goes the RB..." If said cylinder is on its way down, you get lucky and excess fuel gets dropped into the sump.

I had the same thing happen once on a bike, fuel tap was leaking and the carb overflowed into the bore. At knock off time I trotted out to the bike and tried to crank it over and it wouldn't spin. After about 10 goes on the starter it cranked over juuuuuust enough to spit the rod through the side of the bore :)

Wow some of you need to grow up. Didnt your mommy's ever tell you, if you dont have anything nice to say DONT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Once again, grow the f*** up.

I put the exhaust and intake on, along with the Mine's tuned ecu. It was stock when I got it.

The car pulled like a raped ape, never showed any problems at all, and the chassis of the car definitely did not show much sign of age. I am confident to say, its probably one of the cleanest cars on these boards. Was.

^ Rooster, I think an injector went south in a HURRY as well. Which is kind of sad, as that would mean the motor had just 3000 kms to wreck itself.

Whatever. I gave the car to my friend. He's going to just swap the motor, or stuff in an rb26.. after that it will be gifted to his wife haha.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
