100k service done! possible secrects within the engine

Only to your nuckles. I took a couple of chunks out of my hands with my new overly sharp JUN cam gears. Bled though my gloves

 

yeh just take ur time with it mate the cuts and bruises are well worth the satisfaction at the end

cheers James

 

I had a faith

i knew you could do it. good stuff!!

 

Unless he has a turbo hiden in there somewhere that he is not telling us about

good stuff im happy to hear everything turned out great

 

heads been skimmed?......more than once ?

 

I would think so as i cant see any other way to raze the compression as jedi sed he must have some very high dino power if thats the case

 

Zexual what was the condition of the sparkplugs when you removed them it would be a good indication of what might be happening in the combustion chamber i mean high compression like that would start to melt the tip of the spark plug

 

Looking Good James

Glad it's all up and running well.
No small job you took on there for a first up, congrats and well done.:thumbup:
Happy to be able to help, MZM always ready to assist.
Agree with Jedi there, the comp figures are to high, get another gauge and try again.

 

spark plugs are perfect condition not melting or oil buildup what so ever didnt even need to be replaced

cheers James

 

LOL what pintara do you drive dude ???

guys..210psi isn't very high for compression, i doubt you will notice much of a difference by going up 30odd psi, my car is meant to be running 10.6:1 and i pulled 250-260 on all 4 cylinders, but it should be a little higher due to head/block decked.

high compression isn't for hp anyway, it's more for torque and throttle response, although hp is proportional to torque anyway.

never worked on a vg30de in my life, i wouldn't say it's very hard, just very very tedious with some annoying f'n bolts in awkward places and what not, but having everything on the front of the car not on the side (fwd ) is a bonus !

haha yeah, those f'n gears demolished my nuckles too, ask james

 

lol yeh chris the VG30 isnt alot different to the KA both nissan lol... will be getting another compression gauge from work this weekend and well see what it show second time round..

cheers James

 

the car before i upgraded to my z which i still own: 1990 Nissan Pintara. Very reliable and much better on fuel. Slow as **** though and front wheel drive. Although it had a 180 km an hour top speed. Well, that's the fastest i ever got it. Never doing that again though lol

 

rofl!

thats my car but the trx.

do you have the 2.4 or the 2.0 ?

i got the 2.4 and i'll be more than happy to take on a tt vg

 

Your keen

Have you driven one yet, they really are very, very fast. Particularily in 3rd

 

no flame war,

yeah without starting a flame war, i do think it is a unrealistic to match a 2.4 na against a TT. the only na ive seen that comes close to a TT is a e46 m3, and a boosted zed will still power past one.

but from other posts it does sound like your car is highly modified and im sure its quick, why dont you put a thread up in NZR or something , id be keen to see it

 

Yes, me too is interested

 

there u go

hey wilo yeh for the timing blet cover i painted them just with some touch up paint dont bother with the high temp stuff.. i meade a thread and its in the tech section under engine bay detailing..

cheers james
