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!

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
