Yeah that's me dude, just look up top 10 posters and you'll find me!

Actually I was the number one poster on this board for a while, then things got busy and I didn't post for a year or so...

Anyway the car has been off the road for a year or so basically. Fuel pump died causing it to run lean and detonate, then they rebuilt it and didn't do a good job so near the end of that drag run that's posted above a big end knock occured.

Got them to rebuild it a 2nd time and was still having problems!

3 front cylinders are lean, rear 3 are rich but very noisey, cambelt too tight, piping etc very dirty, camshaft scratched as they didn't put everything back together properly and just found out yesterday that my new turbo's have gone because of all the problems!

It pays to pay proffesionals, I went against my better judgement and let a friend point out a garage that seemed really good. Guess they weren't!

Anyway it is now with Nissan and they said a new engine would be the best way to go...

Will keep you updated :D

Basically the place that done my 2 rebuilds didn't get it right either time!

3 front cylinders are leaning out, rear 3 are running rich but making noises. Cambelt was done up too tight, the caps under the camshafts were put back in the wrong order, the clips that hold the camshaft down were put around the wrong way, they left gunge in the piping which went through the turbo's causing them to give up...

So it's start again time!

Nah it won't be ready for Dyno day bro, to be honest it's not looking like it will be ready for Autosalon either!

If it were 100% I'd be looking at the 280kw mark at the wheels, hopefully more than that...

Sorry I haven't been in touch Troy, trust me when I say they don't pay enough. Im just lucky I still live at home and don't have to pay much rent, sacrifice for wanting to own the car I have lol :)

Hows your baby going anyway dude???

Im hopeing the people that stuffed up will pay out for it, will be over 10k worth so I don't think it's going to simple. Im getting evidence together incase it has to go to court!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
