Interesting colour. keen to see finished product :)

Pentroof style nice

Yeah it will come together nicely. its going to be somewhat of a chess board in the engine bay lol.

I actually never saw the Pentroof style before you mentioned it lol. but I do like it.

Currently just chasing up the Jun oil pump as they are out of stock until end of December.... so a part change is a possibility said to maybe look at Reimax, HKS or Nismo Oil pump.... Thanks for the suggestion on the oil pump ForceFED ;) lol.

I need to talk to Daniel-San re-Nismo oil pump actually. Reimax is probably the "best" bang for buck pending information about nismo item. :thumbsup: I'll keep you posted on my findings

Yeah I spoke to dan, he said to me the pump is 1 of the only things he is waiting on to put it back together.

I suggested Nismo, HKS, and Reimax but as my alternatives.

My concern is that the Nismo is made in the same factory as the N1s.... thus having crappy material...

I do know the Tomei, Nitto and Greddy pumps have been breaking so they are not an option.....

It's not a matter of where. More what it's made from mate :P

Ummmm arent the Nitto pumps breaking their gears? from my understanding Dan is pressing me to get 1 made in Japan over 1 made in china like the Tomei or Nitto....

I'm just going by what Dan is telling me lol after all If he doesn't trust the pumps then they mustn't be worth the risk. I'd say the jun is still the option sadly with the month and half wait for it to be made

2 Nitto pumps are documented to have failed as of a month or 2 back. Both oil pump drive related from what I gathered.

Just caught wind of this. Have not heard anything about these failed pumps (which I normally would being an Aussie manufacturer) and if this is so I would be keen to hear about it. Can you enlighten me?

Ahhk, I remembered someone saying they were cast OS (was probably yourself that said it) Just assumed China

Going a little off topic now...but when are you guys releasing 1JZ rods and/or a stroker kit (for those of us weird people who dont want to put a 2J in their car :whistling:

Pistons not a drama at all. Would be a custom order though as not shelf stock but this can be good as exact specs required can be factored in. I do HEAPS of custom pistons.

Email me at [email protected] if you want any info.

Sorry for hijack..

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
