Morning,

Sooo bit of drama on the way home last night. Got to around Browns Plains with Tony following me and the car started to overheat. Pulled over into the Maccas at Browns Plains and there was steam pouring out the engine bay. Not cool. So after 30mins trying to get the bonnet to open with no luck we jacked the car up and I got underneath to have a look. Bottom radiator hose had been patched with a bike repair kit :D So time to dodgy some shit up. Selleys kwik grip and some duct tape to the bottom hose and we were on our way again.

Decided I would probably only to get to Mum n Dads place rather than back to the coast. About 10mins from home the car starts to overheat again. I soldiered on until the Shell outside Jimboomba when the car conked out. Let it cool down again and drove it home. By the time I got it into the drive at Mum n Dads it was knocking pretty badly so 31 is dead.

Anyone got a RB30e long motor they want to sell?

Dude, it took me years of practice (and a racetrack + old GTX2 oil) to kill an RB30. It took you what, about a week? Mad props :P

Pretty sure dan has an engine lying around. Alternatively, I can get my hands on a GTS1 motor for you. Its the motor from the car in second/first place on all the QLD tracks here: http://motamota.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=132340.0

Alternative 2: Alfa motor. Yours for free if you're going to put it in the 31 ;)

In other sad news, I dropped my oakleys and they broke in half :D

To be fair to it. It was driven for like 5 mins with no water in it. Hopefully Dan has something. I'll call some wreckers today, see how I go. How much for the GTS1 motor?

On the bright side if its a bottom end knock it should be good for several more weeks of abuse if you can get water back in it and stop it overheating again :P *knows from experience*

I just sms'd him on price, will send you a PM. Its more than I thought it would be, but still a good price for what you get.

you'll need to sort out fuel delivery and ECU (and exhaust) for the 30ET. Probably want a FMIC too. Plus its a VL motor :P

not to mention you'll need brakes and a mod plate etc

300 for a stocko 30 isn't bad from a wrecker. Worth about a carton if you can find one on the club though

ET it.... Haha.

What time did you get to the Brown Stains? I jumped back onto the centenary and did the logan motorway. I think your problem was caused by giving it a boot load from the lights after the detour, that and Tony seemed to be monitoring your A/F's. He had his sniffer so far up your pipe... :P

While all this bit ^ sucks rather large unshaven donkey balls

This part:

is completely unnecessary as you have a perfectly good RB26 sitting at your parents' house :P:D

this set lasted me for years, although i did go through a few sets of lenses (due to my own stupidity)

they are without a doubt the best quality non-polarised lenses around, and I can't stand polarised.

unfortunately all their current models seem to range from being a bit gay to being a lot gay :(

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
