Hi everyone,

Had one crap day,all i had to do today was drive the car on the trailer and then sunday drive it to melb for its first tune.

well last weekend finished putting the new engine in my car and started it without and issue, was lumpy and running rich (it has big cams) but it ran and i got it to operational temp then tuned it off cheaked for leaks and ect.

finished up and started it drove it out the shed into another shed and noticed the 4wd light was on so checked the fluid in the boot and it was dry, i filled it up and over filled it oh well ill just bleed it out next weekend (this one).

Arrive today at 8 in the morning was cold nd i was grumpy, jumped in the car to moved into the other shed with the hoist to drain the ova filled transfer case fluid, but the car wouldnt start? i tried everything it sorta stumbled with a fire but no luck, in the end i wiped the pfc tune and went to set up the injectors 800cc sard but i forgot the latancey dose anyone know?

finally pushed it on the hoist and removed the transfer case fluid line in the back of the gearbox, it had presure in there and abit of fluid came out, tuned the car ign to the the on position to prime the pumps to push more fluid out but the pump wont fire up? i have checked everything but cant get it to fire up even when i have the car tuning over it wond push any fluid out.

i will be taking it to the dyno monday and just dumping it there i recon i have had enough off the dam car.

yeh thats what im thinking but stupid me in my wisdom wiped the pfc and forgotthe latancey for the injectors, i got new plugs here but there is no point putting them in untill its at the dyno shop or they will just foul again i recon, i had a go at cleaning the old plugs but didnt change anything.

i used gun gleaner and a paint brush they look ok (paint gun glean)

any one got the latancey for 800cc sards? im lazy and dont want to push it out the shed again.

but the 4wd is what im worried about but might just have to wait till its running

.8 gap and chamion iridium, got new splitfire plugs ones to go in for the dyno will be gaping the new ones to 1 because i have new coils so will see if it blows out the spark then close the gap up if needed

Also, the fluid inside the transfere case and the fluid for the resiviour in the boot are sepperate if i remember

draining the transfere case doesnt mean the level of the resoviour in the boot will go down, the resiviour in the boot is used for the hydrolic accuation of the transfere case.

you can bleed the lines at the pump above the diff if you want the resiviour down.

sounds like you have bigger problems, the car will work in 2wd mode, once you get it going

bin them they are junk and fit bcpr7es.

did you unplug the attessa bleed jumper under the dash? (little white plug)

and my life gets worse!

Dropped the gtr off monday at the dyno shop and headed back hm with the patrol and trailer 500k trip back home got 460k and blew the engine in the patrol.

done some quick research and found that 3.0 turbo disel partols suk arse and if you have one sell it now! ours had only done 130,000k and we have owned it since new, there is a common problem the pistons melt around the 100,000k mark.

Bugger sorry to hear, yeah unfortunatley thats a common 3.0t patrol issue. One good thing though is that parts are cheaper than say if you blew a tb48 etc...

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
