I see you are considering going the way of the Gordo........

nah I'm not jumping the fence

:(

oh you mean the engine.... yeah if I am rebuilding an engine, seems like a fun project.

I will probably change my mind twenty times before then though

word of advice though, get your cooling system checked out before the summer heat really hits hard.

I'm really used to my engine running right at the bottom of the temp gauge so when it starts going up on those 40 degree days I really start to fret.

I know exactly how fast the engine temp will go through the roof. as I had a dodgy cooling system in my old silvia. So not cool. :(

You Mensa people have the weirdest idea of fun ever. :)

:werd:

but like all Mensa people it will end up in the "unfinished project basket"

once you have worked out exactly how it will work, it will no longer hold any interest and then it is time to move on to the next project :(

like you, the only part of a project that holds any interest for me is the 1% inspiration part. The 99% perspiration bit is for chumps.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
