told you stock engine mounts :domokun:

Lumpy cams sound tough, what you dont like about them?

Yeh they sound good. Except for the fact the car vibrates to the beat lol it'd be alright if the stock cams were in. Or idle wAs 1100rpm lol

Lumpy cams + plastic engine mounts = shake the shit out of the car lol. Incidentally, the further you move away from a street car the harder it gets to drive on the street...

Yeh I'm slowly figuring this out. The merc seriously couldn't come any sooner. Oh well missus can drive every where.

Hands and feet get a good massage though :D

lol my car is pretty daily driveable for it's performance/capability, I've spent lots of money on compromise components that keep it friendly...but even with that, you step into a car like Leigh's and it's no contest for comfort. Factory performance ftw.

Doesn't help that our cars are nearly 20 years old both in technology and wear though. Can't chuck new stuff on it and expect it to work perfectly with a 15-20 year old chassis lol.

Should have kept the stagea Aaron you dropkick. :P

+1

lol @ Scotty lurking for ages to get that one in.

Unrelated, and I sound like a bitch, but Top Deck is my weakness tonight. Free plug for Pat.

Should have kept the stagea Aaron you dropkick. :P

STFU i will eventually.

but nah thanks for doing everything! appreciate the f**k out of it.

^ Didn't that thing blow up after a bit of limiter bashing from the new owner? Hhaha

lol. yeh he replaced that engine, and blew it up again!

Yeah my falcon vs GTR for comfort is just silly compareo even with the coilovers in lol

Sat in GTR seats the other night first time in probably a year, quickly remembered how race orientated the car was still miss it but at the end of the day didn't do any track work

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
