Wow thats a big burrito

Im currently resisting the urge to pull the trigger and engine out the skyline

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh doooooooooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttt

ask Bunts he's the man to help you with that

I hope i'm earning that much by the time i'm your age...

I spent quite a few years working for less than average wage gaining experience and struggling financially. Sometimes you have to get lucky (which I was), but I worked hard to be in the right place at the right time.

If you can't see a rainbow on the horizon, pick a new horizon to hike towards :)

Are you going to engine out to fix the head studs Scott?

I want to yes. MAster plan at this stage is to rip the motor out, get the head and block bored it to fit larger studs. Whilst the engine is out it will give me a good opportunity to tidy up the engine bay and remove a lot of unwanted/unneeded parts and probably respray it too.

Engine mounts also need changing. But if i do this it will more than likely effect the cooler piping and exhaust lining up properly

Sounds like a solid undertaking, at the rate I work that's about 3 years worth! ha ha

Hahaha, with the way I've been dropping cash into this car it wont take long. Really need to take a step back and curb the spending for a few months

    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
    • Keeping in mind that for most people this is a week to month long job!
    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
