i just dumped my oil in my r33 gtst and in the bottom of the oil drain pan i was using i found 2 small metal pieces that do stick to a magnet, they dont really look like anything, but i will show you a pic and see if anyone knows what they may be from, i made sure the pan was clean before i dumped the oil in it so its definatly from inside my engine

Hard to tell from the pics but they look like gravel; that makes me think they've been churned up by something.

Any noises from the engine?

Did you do the last oil change?

yeah i did the last oil change as well and the funnel i use has a filter mesh in it so dont know what it could be. They do look like gravel or meteorites lol, i could sell them as small iron meteors haha
The oil was so old it was making the lifters tick so bad i thought the car was on its last legs, but i use nulon engine oil flush and ran it for 20mins and dumped it straight away, then i put a new oil filter and cheap 10w40 semi synthetic in it, i used cheap stuff cos i wana run it for a week and then dump it and put some good stuff in it just to chean it better so i know its all good

actually i am very very lucky, the car got quieter and quieter and now it sounds like a brand new engine, no lifter noise at all. Dont know what those small parts are but doesnt seem to be effecting the engine, the car hasnt run this good in years

      Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
