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!!!

>_<

did u check your oil level? i think stuff like this hapens wen u run ur car withoiut oil..

how severe was the knocking? did he car jerk? well hopefully you've acted quick enough and avoided big end bearing damage, which would need a rebuild (5 to 7K) or engine replacement (2K i think?)

Is it driveable? Like, does it stay on at least at idle? Or is it refusing to start/stay on?

Can you boost it at all?

And is there any visible smoke coming out the back?

Guys,

Benz: the oil level is fine, the knocking sounded at first like you running over a can on the road that dosnt go away and no the car didnt jerk from recognition.

Mosquito: Unfortunately no it isnt drivable , if i try to start its click (like a flat battery) therefore no boost or oil smoke etc...

Any other ideas and example of cost for a posible rebuild....

ie

standard $

forged $

Regards,

Darren

Clicking noise usually means your engine is seized. Battery is overloaded casing solinoid switch to cut out. Put can in neutral and get a socket to fit on the crank shaft pulley and see if you can turn it. Even a good engine is a bit hard because of the compession. Anyway do not jump to any conclusions as it can also be the gear box. If you can not turn the engine over by hand, get some one to push down on the clutch peddle and try again.

Could also be a case were the timing belt has gone loose and jumped positioning. Hence the rattle noise (piston hitting valve).

Did you notice any thing strange before this happened. Such as any loss of power or funy noises?

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
