ken; well only know once the head is off

everyone has told me that number 4 valve screwed = something was dropped. but well have to wait and see

i dont remember anything being loose and altho we may be cowboy mechanics, we aint THAT cowboy

ahhh , youv'e lost me.

I said that if a bolt has gone in , there is nothing your mate will be able to do at your place unless he has valve spring compressor, seat refacing tool and a die grinder so will have to go to a specialist.

you wouldnt believe the quotes i got from workshops though. just for removing and reinstalling the head was $400

I actually thought that was pretty reasonable based on the decent shops charge $65ph these days and it would come with a warranty.

btw

Page ownage again . Hehehe

yeh i wrote that before i read what you posted. im about 1minute behind...

whats the deal with the carbon build up thing?

Engines can get carbon buildup , especially if they have a poor servicing history or are driven sedately.

Changing things can disturb the carbon or a sudden difference in the driving style can shift it.

Ever heard of the freeway tune.

* no worries Gramps , give us ten minutes*

6K down the freeway in 2nd or third usually solves it.

* that will be $100 thankyou Gramps *

    • ouch! how is the car now?I had sold my gtr but have been looking into some on trademe and a 260RS but I wouldnt be keen on any repairs needed on them
    • This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.
    • Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.
    • My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.
    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway
