Well today turned out to be a black saturday for me today.

been to pick up some xmas pressies as we do and I took off from the lights sedatley got to 2nd i think and (no bang) rattle rattle loose oil pressure?

I was travelling about 30-40kmh and only about 100m or so from the lights and at first i thought i ran over a can on the road or something.

I am no mechanic but if seems bad.... Sheez I only had my timming belt, pullys, water pump done 3 or so weeks ago..

Anyway I have confirmed that my belt is still attached as I can see thru the oil cap when the car is in gear and see the lobes move when i rock the car back & forth. So where does this leave me broken piston conrod valves etc $$$$?

Car has done only 104k.

I was saving up to get the hiflow turbo serviced and put new seals in as it was starting to let oil thru under excelaration

So where do i go from here? and who car I take it too in the SE suburbs (Cranny, Dandenong areas)

I eventually had it towed back home as I was only 2km from base. was the longest drive home i had . Like a funeral march

Next doo neighbour (Nic the wog) says great now put all the big gear in as he starts up his v8 monaro only 10k. Unfortunately I am not that loaded so I need some advise how & where to start with this as is a daily driver not a race car had I think around 196rwkw

Need another drink!!!

>_<

ok so you said the timing belt, pulleys and pump were changed 3 weeks ago

ok so first thing is to check the state of those, do a visual inspection

can you see any damage on the belts, does you see any bits of metal shavings lying around?

what lights come on ? did you say oil pressure light? does the guage also show low oil pressure?

does it idle at all or even start? when it went bang (or no bang as you said) any smoke ? what colour?

and after all that speak to the place that did the belts etc and advise them something has failed

it could be their fault or it could be non related and a big conicedence, your best bet is to discuss with them

I havnt started to pull the cam belt cover off just yet...(just moping around in self pity...trying not to think about yet) I cant recall any lights coming on only that i totaly lost oil pressure. I turned it off straight away but its like when you put the key in your igition and all the light light up. there was no smoke either that i could visually see.

That car wont start now either...tick tick is all i get

Slightly pissed dazza

Hey mate you should talk to Ben call him on 0433270360 he built my car JETLNR and WYTJET and TOT747 which mate 475kw on pump at RE Customs dyno day last night which won the comp. He will look after you in price, tell him Jeremy with JETLNR told you to ring him and he knows skylines back to front man. Try him out I guarantee he won't dissapoint. He is also the best tuner and all of our cars have been going for ages and we havent broken a thing.

if the car wont start at all or even try and crank over id say the timing belt is toast

it may have failed then smashed all the valves etc

pull the cam belt cover off and inspect it visually

if (and only if) the belt has snapped id say its likely the workshop who did it may have made an error

we have seen it a few times in the past, due to error a part of the process is missed or skipped etc

the end result is the car runs with a new belt but it snaps shortly after

when the belt snaps as the engine is an interferance engine, it smashes all the valves etc (engine is toast)

talk to ben and he will help you out with all your issues mate.

Jetlnr,

I gave ben a call and will organise for him to have a look possibly friday. seems a nice bloke and was telling about the big power builds (well over 300rwkw) that he's been accross. Hopefully he can give me the lowdown on my condition and maybe just maybe build it on the cheapish

Thats for his headup though. will let you know how it goes post friday.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
