coming together. hard to find the time. studs tensioned to 120lf/lbs all ok :) no bore distortion either :)

big ass intake ports, (the main thing that sold me on the vq platform)

had to "shorten" the oil squirter banjo bolts about 1mm rods came a little to close for comfort, also "king racing" main bearings are sized for a flogged out bottom size crank journal... had 1 thou main clearance with the "standard" size... so another 220 dollars later for the standard-extra size.. 2.5 ish on the mains, 2 on the big ends.

modified the oil passages behind the timing cover plates for better oil flow. was really shit from factory..

long time between posts. but this thing just doesnt want to go back together cleanly..

hears what happened.:

got it in and running. promply snapped a camshaft..

fixed that, then it kept loosing water. coolant top pipe "o" ring split..

fixed that, dyno.. again mystery water strains.. and was pinging bad over 15psi..

fixed, fuel pressure issue. raped it. stuck at 900 atw on 98... checked the logs, clutch f**ked. so it just drives through a twin 230mm carbon clutch like its nothing.. on the street 15psi felt like 20 on the old motor.so we are making some torque..

just left it like that... got it all ready to go for the sau cruise today. made it to the maccas, but when filling up i came out to a river of coolant under the front of the car... flamin mongreling radiator leaking from 6 tube joints.. (probs got hurt when the head gasket blew from before...)

the big fan just works to well. it manages to keep it cool even though its missing 3L of water..then it doesnt because there no water to cool anymore..

limped it back to wetheril park. (never went over 90) so there we have it. kunt thing just keeps throwing curve balls at me..

clutch is my fault. didnt leave enough clearance for the release bearing to come back, so its riding on it..

if your not breaking them, your not trying hard enough.. :P alloy rod oil pressure is weird. really low at idle, but really high once the revs are up. (20@idle-110@4k+) i did shim up the nismo pump. and old engine had really loose oil clearances.

stuff it... its looking like i should sleeved it from the get go..  12yrs later and ive come full circle,,

pistons all have cracked skirts, little ends of the pistons are flogged out from the piston being distorted and banged arround in the wobbly bore.. and the liners are out of round 6 thou up the top..

this is the solution...image.png.cf891c1a54c7d2a96bc00cf021ef40eb.png

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
