The car is back on the road! We did the final bits and pieces today including craig's H/W crank sensor mod!(pure genius).Then took it for a spin.....all i can say is f**k me dose it go,and it's not even tuned yet! When i got home i was shaking my heart was racing and i had a very dry mouth as i couldn't keep it closed from all the f**king power that this car now has.I'd like to thank Scotty for all his time, work and patience over the past year and a half :worship: if it wasn't for him it would never have got done,so thanks very much mate.

So I think I worked out why my M35 keeps throwing the code 1320. I took the coil packs off to change the plugs and half of the plugs were covered in oil on the outside. The tubes look like the seals are leaking and oil is getting past the O rings in the rocker covers.

Has anyone else experienced this? And the best place to get rocker cover gaskets and the o rings.

Common VQ issue, but understand they have been filling up (weeping) over the years, if you clean them out they should be fine for more years to come.

You will need to replace the rocker cover, as the plug tube seals aren't replaceable. Amayama would be the cheapest bet, or second hand if you are game.

As oil is an insulator it is unlikely to be the source of the code unfortunately.

No problem buddy, glad to help.

Bit of a step up in power mate, take it easy in the wet... :)

Glad it's back on the road. Have to catch up and go for a spin.

Certainly all the hard yards put in by Scotty, no doubt about it however I believe I did reignite the project flame when I took your turbo and Scotty fitted it to mine. Otherwise it still would have been an idling project.

Not an idling project, I wanted his rebuilt engine out of my garage so I could get some space back. The extra power from the ss2 was just a bonus for him. :P

Definitely need to get a cruise organised, as soon as it's tuned properly.

A working one for 4 digits?

That's just not fair!

Needed the clutch replaced but could still drive and the aircon compressor f'd! Even had rego!

And now in the process of driving it across to Brisbane from Darwin

Stagea booked in this saturday to get 3 inch dumpipe back and get my 3inch varex installed. Also purchased full set of r32gtr front brakes. Finally get to hear this engine besides boost spool

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
