A certain workshop i'n town decided to leave a cam cap not loose and it was sent to oil pump school. The reasoning behind me saying that this place Is full of dodge. All good tho, thinking of a spool 2.8kit. That or a freshen up and new pump ect. Gonna aim for A 10 this time.

was gonna take a coupla piccies on how to get the bastard out, but i cant get them to load up, missus got the camera atm so they are likely gone :(

now all i need is a winning lotto ticket and ill be on my way.

well, completely torn down, mains are pretty well ted, one big end is ted and the rest are suspect so im glad i got it quick, crank looks to be A O-K, might get away with a hone, just gonne get my mic's out and have a look in the daylight tomorow, head looks to be in pretty good nick, still need to dis-assemble it yet, number 6 slug looks to have possibly ingested a washer or something similar, taking the exhaust housing off the turbo tomorow to inspect in detail before i go and murder this workshop owner. On a brighter note, back to work on monday :)

    • 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
