well doesnt look like im coming to kadina now

engine is missing a idler pulley and a tensioner pulley which i didnt get with the engine and the car is ment to be at Turbo Tune at 8am tomorrow

and the place everyone is staying at is booked out

one massive alotment of fail in my favour

Mitch, didn't you get the engine from Turbo Tune? If so, isn't it acceptable that they provide the pulleys and all to get the job done?

There will be more car shows anyway mate. Get the car done, don't rush, and set your sights on the next show.

Nah ruby ,i bought the engine off here (click) and the guy i got it off hasnt found any of the missing parts resulting in me having to go chase them down at wreckers and buy them.

ive already spent $1k on this engine without including the price i bought the motor its self for...

its been off the road for 5 months as of this Friday and i was planing it to be ready by then and in time for Kadina but that doesn't look like its going to happen at this stage ;)

mitch prob better anyway not to use kadina as a shake down run with your car, it would suck to break down out of town. are you still coming for a look see anyway?

highly doubt it right now , only have access to one car right now , which is why i need this back on the road

lol sorry im not 'the fast and the furious' enough. its just a show, if u make it, great, if not, so what. theres plenty of shows all year. but i guess if u get emo over something so insignificant..

and mitch, even if u did get ur car running, i wouldnt risk taking it all the way to kadina to run the engine in. there still may be a few bugs to iron out. and a tow back to adelaide would be an expensive experience.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
