You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Were you with shannons?

How much did it cost, relative to what the agreed value was?

Some people have suggested this actually ends up 'making' money.

Who did the job?

Did you just do the engine, or the entire driveline, suspension, etc?

Mine is auto, there'd be a lot of wiring and random junk to do to. Most/all of which is undocumented and highly shit.

I was with just cars

Full comp insured for about $15k? Bought the car back for $3k

Who did the job? do you mean who assessed it? Some company down at Dandenong, next to Wheeltech, can't remember the name

I did just the engine, so sourced a 2nd hand neo and did that up. Mine was a manual

haha so many questions...

just give to Scotty for another week...

im doing a complete suspension, drivetrain auto to manual conversion in my Cressida..

its a lot of work but couple of guys and a hoist could knock it over in a few days...

I can give him a hand to speed up the process if he wants....and look at the bright side, 1, you will profit from this, 2..now we dont have to fix all those dents in your car. so you saved more cash.....good thing i hadn't fixed it already hey .. ;)

Cept I did all my new turbo mods just before, and still had the Volk Te 37 wheels. So thought worst case scenrio wouldn't lose that much money

Hey its valid to ask!

Doing just an engine swap not always as easy as a more complicated (shit) swap/setup/changeover/random problem.

Re: Tony, meant who did the whole engine swap job itself. Though if you bought your car back for 3k, why did you get another engine for the car you were transplanting it into?

huh.

Oh I have a mate, who is an engine re-conditioner by trade, which is quite handy

New engine due to the old engine being melted when stolen/written off... :(

Old engine was melted / fried by 91 octane that the bloke that stole it put in at a servo, combined with burnouts etc...

Yup 40c day and 22 psi boost doesn't get along with 91 octane

I'm sure he had a blast though

I really should thank him for the insurance payout though

Ah right. Sorry, I thought the CAR was written off so you moved your working engine/driveline into a new chassis.

Kind of the opposite, you bought the wreck back.. and then got a new engine and put it into your old/original chassis.

This makes sense to me now.

Mine is insured for 27k, which is the same cost as that GTR.

There's not many things a neo with an auto transmission, suspension setup for a 4DR, diff and driveshaft for a 4 door, exhaust for a 4 door will really fit into easily other than well, a 4 door.

Or maybe a S15.. they had the same auto originally... :ph34r:

Go buy the GTR

Then tell us what it's like once you are inside the inner sanctum of the GTR/Melbourne GTR/R33 GTR owners club!

I reckon he should be telling us how long he has left to live after he contracts aids from all the gay sex

Hrmm my car was listed as a repairable write off though insurance though

Just keep the neo engine, and go to a 2dr/manual of some sort

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.

      Nissan Skyline R34(ER34) Front Suspension Noise

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
