Whats it doing?

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

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.

skid or fire, i like the possible outcomes.

[AndrewJZX100]

Either way it's going to be entertaining. Think Watto's dismissal of that west indian bloke a few tests back if the thing works properly

Whats it doing?

loud knocking noise, powersteering belt is being run on an angle :S um and io stop at the lights and the car stalls.. have to rev it up and then brake rev again and clutch down... its a pain.. the knocking happens between 1000rpm to 3200rpm through every gear!! um and it might have a leak also cos i cant even launch normally it may have a leak or its tied into all the other problems it has any1 know a mechanic with awesome diagnostic skills. i only got this car to sell and don't really wanna spend loads on it.. was only gonna do oil relocation and clean her up a little

cheers guys, the interview felt OK.. always walk out of them thinking of things that i should have said

btw steve, the bp usage meter used to update every hour... now its every 4 hours that could be the cause of your woes

[Weezy]

And you wanted to swap me my silvia for yours Ripper lol, i dont think so

[scotty32]

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.....

[AndrewJZX100]

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
