Engine bay looks immaculate, love the engine cover, partition, brace... awesome! :D u post on SDU quite a bit yeah?? i think u see u on there quite a bit... a whitish avatar? GTR logo, white background?? or am i thinking of someone else?

oh yeah, and did u have trouble with ur car or something, like it kinda died but came back to life?? :)

anyways, beautiful engine bay/car....

cheers.

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!

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
