Yeah I could do that, but at the same time this car will keep going forever after a bit of TLC, so I might as well do it right the first time.

That's so unlike me, I'm always about the quick fix, just get it good enough.... what the f**k's going on!!

too much laser love

Mangs. Just checking in from an Irish pub with free wi fi in Dubrovnik.

Cars of interest spotted in Europe so far:

one 180sx in Rome, but I think it may have been it's American cousin the 240sx.

And one four door 35 with infinity badges.

I am working on it. Beers here are $2 for pints.

Almost as good as hong kong, $5 for a four pack, sold at 7eleven and petrol stations

Having fun, but as for hot beer wenches, can't quite give them the attention they deserve as my wife is with me at almost all times.

But as a general rule, Croatia seems to be filled with stunners.

Not like Serbia.....

I got this message from a dude on Boostcruising about a VG30DETT:

Hey mate i found out about the motor for you, it comes with everthing, turbo's ect. except no wiring harnes. It has dropped pressuse from one of the cyclinders but he dosen't know which one???? Apart from that he said it runs great. He said the price is $600 Neg.

What do you think?

Agree on the no. f**k the VG. Oh and as I said to John last night. f**k YOU GUYS. Burn Notice is awesome and I ended up going to bed at 2am last night because I couldnt stop watching them. Now I've got to stay in work and do my uni assignment because I know if I go home I'll never get anything done lol.

But Dan might know how to work some VG magic :blink:

Well, I question old mate's diagnostic technique.

He says:

It has dropped pressuse from one of the cyclinders but he dosen't know which one????

now by 'dropped pressure' I would assume that means no compression? But how he tells it has no compression in 1 cylinder without testing them I don't know, and if he'd tested them he'd know which one it is. If its actually got no compression on 1 cylinder, forget it, its f**ked.

IF he actually means "not firing" on 1 cylinder then it could be something simple causing no fuel or spark to that cylinder, in which case it would probably be a very easy fix.

I would suggest, if you have any intention on buying it, do a compression test on it first and if the cylinders aren't all in spec and fairly even, then stay far FAR away, it's not worth the hassle.

If you can get the VG for like $400 I'd say go for it, if a cylinder is f**ked rebuild it yourself :D

The laser's now rolling on some sweet nolathane bushes in the front ;) oh yeahhhh

      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.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
