Bolted my oil pump with reimax gears on my block tonight. Next step is to fit the nitto oil drain to the head and start looking at doing valve springs. Anyone know of a decent brand that does springs for neo heads?

<br /><br />Your in luck I have a magnetic snapon tool used for removing the collets.I used it when I was changing the stem seals makes it easy.<br /><br />Also with the nitto head drain have you tapped it into the Welsh plug or removed it completely. Are you locating the drain pipe to the exhaust side of the sump or intake side.? Did you also put the restrictor on the block.

Thats the sun being difficult for a photo. Best one i could get. This one too:

Looks good except for that weirdo reflection thing going on there. :D

Today, I drove the 31 and the 33 and didn't put a spanner to either of them.

My Free 27mm Sway bar bushes arrived too.

Maybe spanners tomorrow...

Made up some speaker plates to mount my new speakers in the doors and the rear shelf, soldered/heat shrunk all the old twist and tape wiring

finally i have a working sound system

Congrats - good effort

Well I have a Suziki Swift GA (1992) with a listed power level of 39kws at the fly. :woot:(1litre and 3 Cylinders)

This is seriously a NO frills car. No PS, A/C, Radio (with only 1litre it cant really power headlights - LOL)

Asked my neighbour yesterday if it ran and what he was doing with it as it hadn't moved since July last year.

He responded it wasn't running and he was quoted $1000 to fix. So he de-registered it as these aren't worth much more running.

Asked him how much he wanted and he said take it !, as even the wreckers said they would charge him to tow it away.

So I pushed it up to mine and checked it out

Found the Cat had collapsed (hence why he said it had no "power" before it stopped, Air filter was full of chaff ! , dead battery, Windscreen crack right across the screen and the kicker .............................. No fuel

The paint work is all oxidised badly (not hard to clean up).

So went to try start it with the jump pack. Main fuse blew while trying to turn it over and I realised the fuel gauge didn't move off Empty.

Today on the way home I got some fuel and a new 60amp relay fuse. Now she runs :w00t: (the lawn mower sounds better and has more grunt too)

Shame it wasn't a GTi (1.3ltr). They came out with forged internals and are easily turbo'd.

None the less a small project to tinker with

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
