Just got back from the Mechanic payed an unanounced visit to see how things were going, well all is good to say the least after the car had been to another mechanic 2-3 months ago to have the boost controller set up(which was not done ) and I asked for this to be done as well as a report on anything the car needed doing to make it spoton as I had just bought it the car had been on the dyno lost a heap of power and none of the problems were found like the leaking turbo base gasket and the leaking exhaust gasket bolts missing and a cracked turbo manifold,but he did tell me I needed a halteck computer at $4000 mine was ok and could be sold. Well he did himself out of a heap of dollars the new bloke is nothing short of a legand he has had the turbo resurfaced the the manifold repaired and resurfaced the waste-gate to bits and new springs and the list goes on as well as saveing me a heap of dollars that I was prepared to spend just to get the car right. He said I would not believe it was the same car when I get it back he fixed the bits that needed fixing and in the long run will save me heaps of cash and the car will not be off the road every other week and has kept me up to date with the whole deal while he has had the car.

So if you are in need of a straight shooting no crap value for money mechanic that will look after your car like you do give Rob a call 0402 985 475 or drop in he is at Advanced automotives at Kings Meadows opposite Cash converters Tell him Ginger sent you when I go back Friday I am going to hit him up for a descount for SAU members keep you posted on how that goes :ph34r:

ginge, you need to do something about how you present your stories, my eyes hurt after that

Jangles Im hearing you but there are two things that matter in all this my car and my money and Rob has come through in both cases when others have let me down and the other guys n girls out there need to know when one finds a genuine mechanic as we all need one from time to time and a good one is hard to find that aint got his hand in ur ass pocket all the time for shit you dont need :D

Car is comeing along nicely just waiting for the final touches on the head and then it can be put back together, be good to get it back.

Rob came to the party with some discount for SAU members 5% and that is on your daily driver as well just as long as you are a member and mention that when you are talking to him. Who knows we push a bit of work his way and we may be able to push him for 10 % and that will be good for me as well as everyone else ;)

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
