This sounds interesting and I demand more information/story!

Not sure on the full story how the crash happend, but for the damage the car has come off very good

thats how it turned up this morning, doesnt show how bad the damage is, both rails are bent towards the passenger side, the gearbox end is 36mm pushed back then its ment to be, the suspension K - frame has flexed enough to crack the welds on the passenger side, the whole front gaurds/bumper/reo/headlights/radiator/condensor/thermofan's are toast, and it needs a new engine loom harness ($2250)

took me 8 hours of work to get it from that stage to engine on a mounting frame and the quote sheets done up.

Today = epic fail. Checked pickup in the sump this morning all fine. Put a new sump gasket on anyway. Took the clutch off of the old motor and its pretty much down to the fasteners which sucks. Also the new motor is from an auto 31 so need the spigot bearing so the box will go on. Tried to get a clutch today but the only place that had one was Bursons in Slacks Creek and they shut at 12. So I missed out.

Sold my old school volks though so that pays for the motor and clutch.

Plan of attack now is get the clutch and everything for Thursday then chuck the motor in Thursday and then finish bolting everything up on Saturday after work. I am disappoint.

thats a shame dude

I tried to get on to you to come help but you ignored me :thumbsup:

you'll need to get the auto spigot out, that will be heaps fun. Check it out: http://wiki.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?t...bearing_removal

I recommend the dynabolt (with weight) method. M20 dynabolt for an auto i think.

No cruise for you on saturday then? Unless you and dan take dans car...

You probably should buy a button clutch or somethign since its going to be a drifter. Hit up kudos during the week, he can prolly get you a spigot bush as well

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
