Guys,

Following up off this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Cr...ip-t246995.html

I need an engineer to go inspect my engine and give me a clear report as to its failure. The engine has seen low km's and fairly easy driving (compared to what it was built for) and is now blaming the main-bearing failure/crank whip on detonation and lean mixtures which is complete BS.

He'll need to be able to go to the mechanics shop in castle hill so if he is local it would be loads of help.

Thanks guys,

Joe

Speak to the guys at Auto Sport ( 02 9521 1388 ) in Kirrawee they have an engineer that comes down from Canberra once a week ( I believe its Friday) to do their engineer certificates on modified cars, he might be able to look after your request too?

sorry mate, im not releasing the name of the workshop. i dont think it would be very fair to do so either considering that we don't officially know the cause of the failure.

Im going to try organise the engineer that was recommended to go out and make an inspection.

I've organised another Engineer to go out and do a full inspection for next Wednesday @ 10:30am so hopefully we will finally have a definite answer to its failure.

what ended up happening to your engine...any news?

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
