yeah im not saying I believe it.. just saying we'll see what happens! I dont really care either way as im just another on-looker  :rofl:

If everyone had the same attitude as you did it would make things a lot easier, that is just let the results do the talking when the car is actually finished.

I didnt have to talk about this car when the topic came up but I did solely because I thought sau would be interested in such an ambitious project.

Considering Benny has pulled nearly 500rwkw out of an SR that wasnt even stroked its fair to say that he has the know how how to deliver the goods with a car such as this.

and whats that about eating my words ash? I find that pretty funny coming from someone who compares Racepace(who are an excellent shop no doubt) to Japans finest :headspin:

according to the guys at the workshop it was, but other things have come up too, they have a business to run after all, its not like the car wont be built its just taking longer than expected, as all these big projects tend to

you said why bother with smokey because we have racepace, thats a pretty big statement too ash, in fact its too big

Its not too big at all Sam, its big by you as you have no idea what your on about.

Are you gonna take your car to smokey then??  

I think not

does any Melbourne shop take, for example, an VQ35 and test out nearly every turbo setup on it? both singles and twins? as well as other components including cranks, pistons, rods, gaskets, and everything in between? DO they do this with nearly every engine and every car?

Racepace build amazing cars no doubt, arguably the best in Australia but I highly doubt that they puts as much R&D into every setup possible as Top Secret would, thats why the Japanese are the masters of the game, they put the money into testing different ideas, if they blow an engine or crash a car big deal, their budgets can absorb it quite easily.

and if my car needed a retune and I had the time to take it down to sydney hell yes I would take it down to Smokey

Ash, you really need to need to learn to keep some of your non constructive views and comments to yourself.

Try and keep this thread to your original topic rather than puting down in one thread people who have dedicated their lives to acheiving things that neither you or me will ever achieve.

When you start bagging workshops you bring this forum and club into disrepute. I know for a fact that benny always does good deals for people from this forum and club and and goes out of his way to help out others.

As a rep of this club and this forum your not setting the geatest example.

Think before you brain fart.

      Could it really happen......

      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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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
