Well it was better wasn't it... and proabbly with a different tuen it'll get better. How did it sound?

your right about the tune , but i wont be bothering for a while now . you see i hurt the motor . now smokey at high revs and using oil .How did it sound ? Wish i had taped it , it sounded great , nothing like the sound of a twin cam at full song , lots of induction roar and the open extractors screamin , luv it .

As for the engine , i have another rb30 block which i will freshen up and put under it .

that sucks that your car has broken. im building the same motor. anyway that i can get some specs of what parts you used and the cost to get the head modifyd to fit the block?

*edit* i just found your old thred with the specs of what you did. good work. im gona probly be spending 800-1000 on my head tidying it up and replacing bent valves and getting the vvt set up to work

did you get the chance to dyno it?

thanks, and good luck with fixing it

UM I not too sure whats goin on with the engine . its not using oil , even tho it has smoked a couple of time at high revs . in fact the oil level has stayed constant in last 500 km since it last smoked . also one of the breather hoses isnt hooked up .

maybe i was being bit of an alarmist ,

this weekend am going to do a compression test .

apart from all that it seems to be going as strong as ever .

oh yeah did i tell you that i bought another skyline .

well it was cheap a 5 speed series 3 r31 WAGON , ( yeah go the wagons ) and its powder blue , nice boy colour lol

damn!!!

i wish i could find ones like that

all the ones that i see for sale are auto's and heaps of sh!t

how cheap was cheap???

$950 and has perfect body and interior , would you believe i havent seen it yet . bought it off ebay in NSW , friends down there checked it out for me. its coming up on a transporter next week .

Woah dude that looks very clean, especially the engine. What are your plans for this car?

As the body of my red wagon is reaching its use by date , will transfer the good gear across to the " NEW " blue one . It will be a sleeper , keeping it absolutely stock on the exterior , standard wheels suspension and ride hieght . Should even keep the standard hubcaps on .

you should HPC coat those extractors, get heat wrap, wrap them and after that make up a stainless heatsheild  :D

this will give you the coolest intake temps possible  :O

YEP GOOD IDEA , will probly wrap them

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
