yep good idea if you just want a cheap run around

the one i got is 2004 and v cheap, sure it aint perfect but who cares

the ba's i looked at starting price is around 6500 to 7k for mid 150,000+ on them

but still in v good condition and hardly anything wrong

even with stuff wrong, still v cheap to fix

i was looking and low 200,000models for around 6k as well

its funny

the market value for a 1988 vl calais turbo is 4k to 6.5k

yet the market value for a 2004 ba falcon goes from 4000 to 5400 i think

Try closer to 10k Paul for a calais turbo, upto easy 15k. ;)

IN other news... SAU Nats DVD is ready! Anyone coming on GOR can get them early :)

RAAAGGGEEE! Another night goes past .... still the harmonic balancer bolt stays tight. Cannot get it undone. Everything has been tried. 3/4in drive rattle guns, breaker bars, proping breaker bars and cranking the car .... nothing is getting this bolt undone :(

any suggestions?

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
