I got a little bit drunk :)

Pulled a cam cover off, can't see any shims in there so it may not be a NEO head, which would mean I have been ripped off :(

Didnt see anything obviously wrong, and then spotted the stainless exhaust manifold was snapped almost in half. That could account for the funny noise, lack of power and boost, but not the low compression. But I don't have a lot of faith in my compression guage so yeah...

So the plan is to put it back together with a factory manifold and see how it goes. If its still f**ked, I'll take it somewhere for a compression test and leakdown test to work out whats wrong. But hopefully it wont come to that.

Need a new exh gasket and some other misc stuff though, but will hopefully be going back together next weekend. Oh, does anyway know where I can get the right sized copper washers for the banjo bolts? Super cheap/rapeco etc only have imperial ones.

Gonna be spitting chips if this head isn't a NEO one but.

i too will be spitting chips!

that is fcuking shit martin!

called up just cars today - cant get my quotes inspected til tuesday next week..

so no car for 2-3 weeks im guessing :|

seems the pushie is going to be used and abused lol

I'd lend you my backup, but I am using it ATM :P

Looks like it is definitely not a NEO head :). http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ea...ad-t269422.html

Wrong number on the side of the head, wrong coil pack mounts. Shoulda researched this s**t more before buying it I suppose.

On the bright side, hopefully it will be all good when back together with factory exhaust manifold now. But the low compression is still a bit of a worry - hopefully its my guage.

yeeh thats gay dude - hopefully it is just the guage and can be sorted out easily

*fingers crossed

I believe this SR is running a pretty compression all around :D hows yours doing!?

oh shiet :D:P

Too bad the shit bolted to the SR failed more than Johnny McFail at Fail Highschool in Failsville.

I made it out of the spit alive yesterday! I dont think I'll wanna go there again... that place its like a 1 way ticket to defects.

Anyway, anyone knows if the TE37 comes with dish? I saw 1 yesterday thats 19" x 10.5" +22 with massive dish... never seen it before (particularly for funky).

Any farewell car wash for monkey these few days before he gets on the van?

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
