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 should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
