Got my car back today! Woohoo! With a 'new' rebuilt engine and a stylish 261rwkw! Rosie pulls hard - compared to what she use to. Trojan Motorsport did a great job on the rebuild.

Brilliant Jeremy, pleased to hear it's going great.

Nice numbers too for the high flow. Bet your loving it.

How's the suspension feel compared to the hard ride you had before?

Yep! It's a great build. Very pleased with it. The suspension feels amazing! I never knew my car was so stiff before! Kicking myself that it took so long to get suspension haha but the old bumps I use to avoid now barely make a dent haha

 

haha you are right! The HPI radiator got put in shortly after but my heat cover is currently on the engine and doesn't look as impressive with it on :P

So your going to keep Rosie now Jez?

I reckon you'll fall in love with it again now that you have it back better than ever. In fact once you decided to spend money fixing it the decision was made - lol

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
