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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
