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

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
