With a thread like this and getting this long and it did take CRD a few post to get on it, the admin needs to place a note at the start of the thread saying that it is 1 persons comment and should be read in full. I think that peoples comments are good in forums like this but when they can sound damming people need to know the  whole story and not read the the first post only.

Beer Baron feels the thread is ok..........alright then I think I need to say it again then....Wreakedhead you really are an embarrassment. People are sitting back with a cold one on an otherwise boring Monday arvo, waiting to see what BS you will post next......come on then entertain us with your absurdidity.

yep I will stand by what I said.... Its great it lasted as long as it has, and to make that from an engine that stock is designed for about 150RWKW is amazing...

now rebuild with some more realistic components and it will live for longer.... but it will still go bang... just after more time :) 430kw that is crazy!!!

Im all for freedom of speech and so on.But what peeves me off

is when someone gets on a forum flaps their chops off about someone

else ,hasnt had the decency to allow the person whom he/she is slagging

to inspect or even form an opinion for themselves about a particular

subject ie part failure etc. tells us how he/she had the time to show the failed part to 4 different mechanics (whom will probably end up being 2 mates

who clean a lawn mower carby as their C/V in the auto world) but couldnt

find the time to show the slaggee/slagged to be person what exactly happened.

Not necessarily aimed at this thread only but using it as a good example.

ive been in this suitation before and went back to the mechanic and all what happened is that they denied it, so i went and got an engineers report from serveral workshops that are well known and have been in the industry for a while

and went back with my findings only to hear them say the report is bullshit there wrong and the rest of it .......after 6months of fart assing around they decided to fix the problem but did a dodgey job of it and 1year later it blew up again .....

from then on if anyone asks about this workshop i will tell them my personal opinion and tell them to stay away ..

buts its only fair to take it back to the workshop so they can have a look at it first and then go from there ..or from there response......

hope this helps to resolve this problem .

thought the following comments were interesting, remember this is the old code 45 from Melbourne, was on the market for ages before the right buyer was found. :)

youll be right, just make sure she's nice and warm b4 giving it curry.What piston and clearance are you running?

no idea mate, i bought the car with no idea what engine work it had done, but ive been killing it for the last 18months, and seems to be holding, it has really loud piston slap when its cold but after i warms up it goes away, i was told thats a tell tale sign it has forgies, but im not sure, so ill race it till it dies, then rebuild from scratch.

I'm surprised this thread is still here...but its good to see Jim posting up.

A question for you Jim, are 12.5 AFRs common in your street car tunes? many workshops will tune richer than that. Or did the owner want you to push it?

GOLD!

On that note I dont want to see this thread turn into a multi page argument. Both sides have had their say and I think thats sufficient.

If anyone would like the thread re-opened, I am happy to discuss it via pm.

Cheers,

Nick

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
