Danooh- I will certainly let you know and congratulations on your car...  

I didn't hear any noises but it did misfire between 5K and 6K rpm's.  I picked up the car and it was completely out of fuel.  I filled it to the top with BP premium.  I drove it for a good 60km's before I had the problem.

how 'big' was the misfire? was it a hesitation/cough, or more of a backfire? check your fuel filter - could be as simple as a blockage.

was the car pulling hard before it happened? I haven't revved my car over 3000rpm (free rev) as I want to go right over it.

I bought it redline engine and gearbox oil the other day - so will be changing that before I actually take the car on the road. My car ran out of fuel on in my drive after we took it off the back of the truck - I will changing the fuel filter as well.

hopefully it is more of a minor thing with your car

damn another perthian, and even better, A CHICK!!!!

ummm if it was blue - your rings are well and truly buggered

if it was black - your running really really rich

if it doesnt want to start, then your probably gonna find either a piston's jammed and/or a conrod is jammed also

either way, your gonna be up for big bucks for some1 to look at it

Skyline Performance Imports haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

One other thing that I can recall is that when I turn the car over I noticed that the oil pressure light was on.

There was no backfiring it was just misfiring.

OK

It has been confirmed that the car requires a full engine rebuild (around $8K) :D

I was unknowingly driving the car on full boost (close to 30psi) which resulted in the damaging of the rings and pistons. A very very expensive lesson to have to learn...

One of the problems with buying a modified car... you don't know what the guy before you has done... Mmmm 2 bar boost... I don't think that even if you had changed it back to ~12-15 whatever standard GTR boost is that you could have saved that engine... the guy who sold it in japan obviously knew it was on the way out (which sucks for you) and i just hope the same won't happen to me when i get my 93 GTS-t.

I reckon its probably because the car has been sitting for so long, take it for a bit of a drive clean it out, but dont rev too much just incase.

I hade the same problem once, my car been sitting for about 4 months, started to drive it and heaps of smoke came out, after about 1k it went away.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      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

      S15 Spec R

      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!
