Just had a quick look and tried to do it but just ended in a fight, baby crying etc. usually when I do these I can tilt engine back a fair way but this new one due to rear oil drain I can't. With proper help would it be feasible to lift engine out of mounts forward a bit? Attach box and lift both back in place?

Maybe it's a strength thing Duncan do u have any time free this week? Jez suggested lowering engine cross member which sounds like it could help but definitely with the wife and myself there wasn't enough man power to twist and maneuver that's for sure

Sorry to hear about the bad news and all the best in the future man

I had the same problem brain tumour when I was 15 size of a 50c cent pushing on my brain had it removed urgent lucky it was benign.

First surgeon didnt want to completely remove it all as it was too close to the brain so caused me issues later when I was 19 years old so had surgery again and the new dr brian Owler cleaned the rest up havent had any problems yet now I'm 23.

I had yearly MRI but dr thinks its ok now as you get older they don't seem to come back and said I don't need anymore mri's unless I have problems

Hope you have a similar outcome all the best good luck

Thanks man depends how the surgery went the first time took longer as the surgeon was abit of a butcher jks

Had a Massive scar down the back of my head proberly round 2 months always felt tired and the second time the surgeon was great only small scar on the right rear of my head and a small circle on the top of fr of my head felt like I healed up quicker but maybe I was older then maybe 1month and abit

I'm never going to be the same but

my balance is still abit off and the right side of my body is abit laggy

My right hand is abit shakey but I had to learn to wright with my left I was right handed before

That's how the specialist found it my right side oft body was lagging and bad headaches he sent me to get a MRI straight away

I'm about 8 weeks post op now and own a business and go in for a few hours here and there but I have trouble with complex forward planning and some times forget things, big issue is I have bugger all strength as well as getting fat from being in bed lol I'm just not sure if I can ever be the same and managing 10 staff the stress is sometimes too much but surgeon keeps saying its normal your doing good blah blah

  • 1 month later...

He is super busy and hopefully still very skilled lol, the reason I will send cars there from now on (provided tune is nice) is he is always willing to talk or help. It seems very rare these days and I hope he is very sucessfull because of it.

Hey buddy,

Saw your car up at Jez's place. Had a poke around the engine bay, looked good. Real credit to you.

Not sure the -5s will reach your optimistic power goal, but it will be a blast to drive once your ready. :)

Thanks mate I miss seeing it lol, long as its in the 400 and above I'm happy as that's a 10 second car and I just want to say I live my life a 1/4 mile at a time and for those 10 seconds or less I'm free lol

I lold at this hahaha

Go hard or go home right!!

Yep, judging by many previous forged 26 results 400 and something at between 25-30 psi depending how engine reacts is easily achievable with e85 hence the 2000cc injectors and 23 on 98 should see 370 Ish hopefully. I asked jez not to kill it but it will only do cruise days a few 400m passes and some hill climbs but not circuit days as yet so not fully lean and mean but not conservative either

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
