That's a beautiful piece of machinery there Dale.....that's a good price too IMO.

I've got the updated version of that engine in my truck but with 2 snails hanging off it.

Crap!

Got the news this weekend that my uncle is in surgery at the RAH ICU and he's not expected to make it. That will be another uncle I'm losing to bowel cancer. He is a top bloke and has lived a good life. Hopefully he's got some fight left in him. Bowel cancer is no joke people. I get tested every two years. Its only $36 every two years to ensure you can keep enjoying modding cars for years to come.

thats sad man..hope he has the strength in him to survive through it

Spent the arvo changing coilpacks to not only find out that its not coils causing missfire, but also to snap off one of the bolts that holds the coil in. wicked.

aargh, these bolts are so fragile... i snapped like 3 of them when i had the same issue...

so what have you tried so far to find source of misfiring?

well i took out a set of heavily-siliconed coils and replaced them with a spare set i got with the car, chucked come electrical tape around them first, but no dice, still missing under load. only other thing i can think of is a split in silicone joiners/piping thats only opening up under load? Gonna book it in to Pitlane to get the bolt out and replaced, and see if they can't diagnose it for me.

So you've replaced a dodgy set with another dodgy set? Buy some Splitfires, if the issue persists then you can rule out coilpacks.

As for the bolt, depending on where it snapped, use a set of pliers, wrap it around the thread of the bolt and work it out that way, done that before on my car, easy as piss.

^^^ or take the whole cradle out if theres no bolt left on top of it... thats what i had to do...

as for splitfires... that would be my last resort because they are for suckers :ninja:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
