haha, another thing i like about the dirty old sr. dont need to drop the engine to swap the sump. just unbolt the pan, and bolt the new one up.

True. I must say I've been toying with the idea lately of pulling the motor out, doing sump, head gasket, restrictor mod and replacing bearings. I dunno, I'll see how I go :(

Sounds good mate, just let me know when and I'll be there.

I got mine from someone selling it on NS, managed to pick it up for $450.

As for the bigger sump, the motor will have to come out, a mod I'd love to do on mine but I've always said if the motor comes out, I'll rebuild at the same time

thats the easy part. ive got a mechanics workshop at my disposal and we can pull it out and back in ourselves but ive got no idea how to replace the sump

but should be a fun learning process none the less

Do it man :(

Hey Luke, been meaning to ask, how do you find the ARC air box over say twin pods?

Pods = HAI = Fail

Air Box = CAI = Win

dunno. dont know that area. was on the south side of adelaide.

Dave, it's called Southies Revenge........remember that little Rick Roll incident :(

in all seriousness, I hope you get it sorted bud......you only just got the red beast back on the road :)

as far as the Rick Rolling goes, don't ever try that on the ns site......you'll receive a life ban, just ask Roo....."just quietly" I think it was more to do with his blue mesh! :(

haha, cheers dude. just running some quick sums, assuming im right and the chassis is still straight (no visible damage to rails, and while it was a hard hit, it wasnt a hard hit) and i replace the exhaust as well, should see change from $1k (sub $500 if i dont replace the exhaust).

but time will tell i spose.

either way, looks like ill be smashing out some overtime the next few months.

just checked the nengun site james, he has them brand new for 33 and 32 gtr for us$564.76

with the aus dollar not to far behind it might save you some coin if your looking for one?

Usually abnormal margins between bonnet and fenders / fenders and doors can tell you if anything is out of whack. Sometimes it just means the car has been crashed before and the job wasn't done well.

all the gaps are the same as they were before. yay.

gonna start pulling shit off when i finish work i reckon.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
