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

Whats happening with the 32? Have you reg it yet?

Not regoed.

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.

lol awesome.

P.S. Dibs on helping with the engine swap. That will be so much more enjoyable than having to work on thristians dirty SR :P

Too easy lol.

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

Yeah I didn't think it was too bad.

Tony likes to get up close and personal lol.

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

:D 26 isnt going in the 31 lol

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 :(

RB30ET FTW! damn you sabbai!

nothing wrong with getting up close and personal.

i can give you a hand with the engine swap. not like i have a job :(

Do the RB30ET!

    • Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R. 
    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
