that's good. wish I coulda paid the Ex out in 2 weeks.

Helga only cost 5k and I only borrowed 2k - so was an easy repayment :3 !

However, Rosie was 12k and had to pay that off in 6 months. (Mighty fast repayments - however, it's through Dad which is interest free. So no complaints).

If you're fine with it - I would really like to see your R34's power some time (Maybe when you're heading over to Rob's one weekend). Kind of wanting to see what power I'll be dealing with if I go through with it. I'll even take the back seat if need be haha :P

I was there last Sunday thinking you would be

take the keys it's insured :P (are you?)

:( ! And Rob invited me around on the weekend after Friday night ! When are you heading back over? I'll have to plan on going around as well.

Haha life insurence !

In short:

Personally I think they look good, they do very little, if anything (at least the ones we buy - and at our power levels)

good quality engine and gearbox mounts is where it's at

having said that I'm likely to put one for the wank factor or as I like to think the good looks.

Folks who don't know better will like them when they look in the engine bay

arse wipe rev heads will ask WTF coz they know everything. Especially if it's not the "right brand" with real heavy pressure in the damper

has anyone got any experience with engine torque dampers? Do they actually do anything or what?

If no track time/not massive torque then sploosh factor. I just bought nismo ones as i tore 1 of mine at a track day two weeks ago.

Shiny bits.

Someone somewhere ( so it must be true :laugh: ) said they help your engine mounts live longer ?

Rosie if you want a turbo aswell to achieve that i have a rebuild Hiflow turbo by Hypergear which i will be taking off my car soon thats if you want it cheap.shaft play is still within the tolerances. HKS actuator

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
