Otay, question...

I have 1 X R33 GTS-T S1, off the rd for past 18 mths, had a blow by and hence ruined #1 piston. Only gear on the machine was FMIC, Zorst, BOV, and Air Filter...I now have a set of Wiseco forged pistons std size as I have been informed that there was NO bore damage. I want to know, who in Sydney is going to do an AFFORDABLE but decent job of putting the pistons in, cleaning it up and getting the damn thing going again? I have only the std turbo and computer, dont want anything different yet. Suggestions on who, guesses on how much I'm looking at to get it done???

Okay but are they expensive?? I'm not being a tight arse but really just want the car fixed so can I sell it.

Ask Brendan (B-Man) about his experience with the rebuild at UAS, then give UAS a call to find out what they charge.

I got recommended a place that does 1000hp engines for those high speed bridge to bridge water ski race boats. From what i've been told they are very good and have a lot of experience building engines. I think you have to remove the engine from the car yourself and drop if off there.

If you want more info I can ask.

sure, talk to Steve over at Just Jap, mine was less turbo and flywheel (since it came from an auto), no puter. you of course do not end up with a freshly rebuilt engine, but that may not be much of a problem when you are selling it.

not sure at this stage, our race team has a deal with them. However, others on here (eg Fatz, Blitz) have used them for other mechanical work and found them very competitive, I'd suggest giving them a call on monday

Why are you putting forged pistons in an engine that is just going to be put back in to be sold ??

Sell the forgies, Buy a second hand engine and replace - you will get better value that way.

Have you got a quote from UAS for the work ?? Why do you think they are expensive ??

Yeah Just Jap & Give Nath a call - he's a good bloke.

Sorry to be off topic but I didnt wanna start a whole new thread, and Z32 has the same blow by problem. Well here goes:

My car had a really bad case of Blow By where it was smoking (bluish) out the exhaust at anything past 4000RPM and a fair bit too, cause I would look in my rear view and the cars behind are engulphed in it, and there was oil seeping out of the boost controller.

I ran it for around 1000kms really easily (nothing over 3000rpm) and it seems to run really really smooth now, no smoke any more even to 6000rpm, I was contemplating doing something about it, but should I bother now?

Dezert you lucky prick, mine was the same and I could still drive it however I didnt think it was going to last too bloody long, I had EXACTLY the same happen, bluish smoke at anything over 4K etc, but WHEN mine blew initially, I stopped and opened bonnet the disptick had blown out of the tube, there was oil fu(king everywhere, there appeared to be a crack in a manifold somewhere as there was an enormous "shhhhhhhhhhhhh" noise that increased in volume with rev's, there was a rubber pipe split form a sensor, don't know which sensor though, driver side and basically small black boc couple of inches all round on the firewall...drove for two days afterwards, from Penrith into the city and back then Penrith to Kurrajong and it BARELY made it, so pulled it apart and ready to do something about it now :-)

Well not exactly Dez, getting a bottom end and throwing the head, turby, computer etc on to it and then down the track going to slowly rebuild the bottom end of my old motor and slowly just buy all the bits and pieces, build it right up, then rip out the crappy engine and throw the beastly one in anyways that's the plan :-)

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
