Only insured for 12,500, 8K for repairs but we are getting the full respray including wheels done for 3500 on top of that

Thats pretty gd, i think mine came to 9ish. Iv gotta go pick up the quote to see what i need. Gonna try use a ratched strap to pull it out tomoz, rad support is pretty soft, pulled it out a inch by hand lol

Big 2 days of inspecting cams on dump trucks as they have 20,000 hours and starting to break down often

Big'uns? Caterpillars? Ive just clocked up 42 years and starting to break down often:-(

Yep she's a big girl, have some pics of a dual 10" exhaust and new charge air tubes I made for westrac out at there dyno room. But can't upload them. What were the results? Worn lobes?

Quoted a job for westrac today. Fix all there charge air intercooler box with all new 8" to 7" breeches pieces to 7" tubing off the turbo's for c175-20 engines. Even with massive swages and tripple clamping they are popping the hoses under 32psi boost. We've chased it down to the weekest link which is where the 8" reduces to a 7" breeches piece after the intercooler and into the intake manifolds. Have done 2 x fixes already. Hope we pick up the job. It's a big job that I've honestly quoted. Will be all new tube work and a full new reconfiguration. They are expanding size from the turbo's to the intercooler, but reducing too much on the way back to the manifolds. So far as I'm concerned. I've suggested 3 x fixes but in reality it needs all new tubing. I love working with the guys at westrac, they know there stuff. Which makes my job easier.

Can even be related back to the skyline. Turbo outlet is 2" I/d and 2 1/2" od. 2 1/2" tubing to 3" intercooler so the air has a pressure drop then expands through the intercooler and fills with mass for air cooling then compresses back to 2 1/2" into the throttle body. With a 3" intake to match the size of the intercooler. You've just got to love the principals and practices of turbo charging. It's the reason our Nissan's are animals. :-)

Yep I'm ex-westrac so I'll claim that compliment [emoji12]

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
