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?

    • 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.
    • 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
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
