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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
