It's a CA, that in itself is a problem from the start :D

Dunno if any of you cats remembers the drama I had with my sil end of last year (and my numerous threats to burn it to the ground :) ) but there are some new developments in the story.

Turns out a mate of mine has had a dead ceffy engine just chillin at his for ages, so I was like wicked I've found a harmonic balancer to replace my seemingly fked one. Got him to make sure the one on there has the same set up as mine (with a V belt in the middle of 2 4pk belts), turns out it has the same balancer as my old 32 motor. Which is the same set up as EVERY other RB engine I've seen.

All of this leads me to belive some fking asshat has possibly whacked the wrong balancer on the front of my engine, thus the reason why it's wobbling all over the place.

Plan is now to chuck my old 32 motor's balancer on the cef motor currently in the car and see what happens. If I'm lucky it will spin true, and I'll go rip a fat skid. If I'm unlucky it will do as the one on there now and f**k around, in which case the vehicle is under threat of death by fire once again.

wish i could catch these idiots.

Ring up, sound keen, talk some shit, get details.

Use said details to organise a good old fashioned beat down Forward said details onto Police...

... then watch them try and defect your car for the mods listed in the ad :)

Just a heads up guys a scammer had pics of my 32GTR up on carsales wish i could catch these idiots.

Had it for sale on there a while ago they must have just copied the old add?

when you see a 32 GTR for 7k it always sounds to good to be true.....

theres a story of scams like this interstate, GU IV Patrols (usually around the 35k mark second hand) going for 8k. sucks balls

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
