Hopefully in the next couple of weeks,the motor will be on its way to being brought to life.I have been some what indecisive about where to send the engine to get all machined up and assembled.

Some of you might think im being a bit pedantic about the whole thing,but you when you have spent the money i have spent on this thing im sure you would be the same.

After some discussion with a fellow forum member this morning i have finally deceided to give the task to Paul(DiRTgarage) and crew.

Im sure you know of his mental 9sec quarter smasher. I told Paul that i wanted someone who will take the time to make sure everything is spot on,and not to cut corners. Paul has assured me this will happen and will look after me.So ill be making the trip up to Newie sometime soon and will be giving constant updates on the progress.

Once it's getting reassembled and you've worked out exact dollar signs it'll come together and you'll start to feel great :/

I'd love to do what you're doing, looks exciting and engrossing. You'll be having some serious fun when it's complete :/

Love the pics. Keep em coming.

good to see your using paul. he's a good bloke and im sure he'll more than look after you :/

Thanks Shane,

Happy to be on board with Dave to help out with his build. Parts are off to the machine shop next friday and will post pics of progress if Dave gives us the OK to do so.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
