nah, im over it, going to leave it for a week or two.

going to pull engine and pull crank out to have a good look, the oil surge was causing more issues than first thought. Having the oil warning light set to 30psi definately saved it from major damage but it will need a bearing set. Its not a big issue but i have plenty going on at home and just dont have time atm. only need a day to pull it, repair it and refit it, the cash is the issue atm. If all goes well i still might make the track day. just need motivation and to rob a bank lol.

bull shit it does, get out in the shed now and get back to work!

pulled engine last week and removed a big end set and a main set of bearings. They actually were borderline of going back in, but have decided to change them anyway. Sump is being repaired and bearings on order.

Im 4 days out of knee surgery so in no position too do any work. Probably look at it again in a few weeks.

Busy last week has seen some big changes in my work priorities and has made me re-think some of my life ones, so with regret i have had to make the decision to put the car on the market. Most of you have seen it at the track or read the build thread so dont have to say too much but if anyone is interested and has any questions id be more than happy to answer them.

For sale link is below.

Cheers guys.

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
    • That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
