Phil: I have had a look around and they do seem to be mostly further south. Been quoted anywhere between 6-10k for the kind of thing I'm after. Will just have to bite the bullet and do it. Not pulled the engine apart yet, not had time. Will get on it this weekend hopefully and get the full damage report. But suspected seized or cracked block. Sudden lose of oil pressure, over heating then when mechanic asked me to start it made horrible noises and didn't start or turn over properly.... basically up sh*t creek.

Rob: Cheers for the info mate, I'll give Dan a call and see what he says to it.

Hopefully wont be too long to get the car back on the road...

oil pump failure by the sounds.

I'm sending mine to Elite Racing in brisbane (see sig) once I get a couple more things (ahhhhhh stupid money)

sounds like it.

don't cheap out on the oil pump.

i opened up my new motor the other night, bores are very clean and oil was brand new. new head is going to make this motor epic.

my new TIG showed up today :D all i need is the 6boost manifold and i can start fabbing all the new pipes and dump pipe

Yeah that's what I thought... Feckin thing. I will not be cheaping out on an oil pump that's for sure. Any suggestions on one? N1? Tomei? Jun? Should probably get a new water pump while I'm at it too.

Ill get in touch with ERD too and see what they say to it.... Money is the driving factor unfortunately... sucks

i use dan at dc engines for all my machining have a chat to him about building an engine.

or just get a paul at red r racing if you have the $ to spend.

yeah campy is pretty good. he machined my CA when i built it.... little f**ker went hard too

also recommend ERD aswell

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
