RUNAMUCK

Who.knows about heat pumps? Our Daikin makes a shitty noise when the side to side Louvre tries to sweep the extremities of its travel in each direction. It doesnt appear to go all the way? The clicking noise is shit.

I'll never see one again either inshallah.

Looking at that picture at not 9 oclock at night it doesnt look so bad after all. Plus only $2-300nzd for parts. Hopefully never needs doing. But it doesnt look like the end of the world.

I'm an oil change every 8000 kind of guy with mine. (Speaking of which, its due in another 300kms. but fortunately supershitauto had 5-30 edge half price last week)

As a VQ35 owner, these tales give me the willies.......

Do those timing chains fuck.put because if lack of maint, or cos they're shit? I've heard they're known to.stretch.

Holy fuck that water pump has next to no belt wrap! I'm going to do nothing I think.

PK belts, Theres no.reduction in their lifespan if these are wound around tensioners yeah? I'm sure @- i5oogt - old b25m50 had a belt about four feet long that wound around all manor of tensioners. I've relocated the alternator on.my ute, and the sweep of the tensioner means theres not a great deal belt wrap on the alternator pulley. I'm thinking a smallish pulley mounted on a conveniently placed bolt hole on the motor will increase the wrap considerably.

It will defo be irs. The manual swap wont be hard. I manual swapped s 910 once. Piece of piss. I cant see marketplace on my phone. But I think 6k is a wee bit steep. Itd be a cool base to start with though.

Biggest drawback is the factory management. @kiwi510 had once once. (In his 510 no less) he added an addition external.spring to the wastegate arm. But over about 9psi he experienced detonation issues. Later a CA18det CAS was fitted to the dizzy, (with the internal disc flipped, because the cam and a dizzy rotate opposite directions) along with all the CA18 afm/tps/etc/etc. With a view to tune it using a nistune tool. However he sold it. The new owner fitted an SR, and the motor ended up in another 510, running a link. Some.years back.another bloke I knew had a z18et with a link in a ke70 racecar. That would pop head gaskets at around the 230-250 hp mark.

And they work fine untill they dont......

They sure are. I have to say that something about this thread is very satisfying to follow.

If I was going for a modern engine then VQ35de would be the go. Not stupid money, (no drift tax) tons of power, and plentiful. But for.ease the a15 is pretty easy too. Dont go 4k. A15 have bigger valves.

Man I wish this was right now. A pack of 40 lunatics on small shit bikes running the illegal blockade. It could be a sequel to the Nigelwade movie.

You can buy relays that go open circuit when energized. So just wire one of those in off the oil light sender.

I havent powered mine up to hear how it sounds, but Subaru leone have a low pressure fuel pump. They're very hard to find on the car if you're pulling one off a wreck. (I had to ring Subaru Richard to ask where the fuck on the car Subaru hid them) But as a lift pump for my 620 I've bought one off rock auto. Typical rock auto prices too. I think the second cheapest one they had (I never buy the very cheapest one off there, well, almost never) was like $23usd. And its brand new. Someone once.said that those low pressure pumps get less rowdy once they're dead headed. They drop.back to a slower speed.

Be prepared for a number far far below the one stated above.

150hp? On what dyno? Was it in a hyperbaric chamber, with an atmosphere of pure oxygen? The a15 is a great engine. Things to bare in mind are, the van ones have a smaller cam than those from the b310. Some van engines have an inlet manifold which steps down (which gave more clearance on the underside of the drivers seat in the van) this manifold is less performance oriented. A series love to rev. I supercharged one a good while.ago. on 11psi, it pushed a 1200 to a 14.1 second quarter mile. One downer is, that 5 speeds are expensive. And the four speeds arent abuse proof. (Although they do have 2nd gear closer to 1st, so they're quite nippy) Since you're in Christchurch, go talk to Damon at Rocky auto on port hills road. He runs an A15 in his 1200 ute. And hes a dab hand at setting up and tuning delorto carbs too.

How is sue? I'm going to turn gay and opt for big wheels. That gravel is so rough, a CR500 would struggle.......

I just came across this photo of this car in its former life. Thought I'd drop it here for old times sake.

I've seen the turbo Nissan crowd pack up their bonnet hinges with washers to allow hot air to escape the engine bay after it's been through the radiator.

Fuck yeah, Gordon Ramseys roadside kitchen FTW!

After I sell our rfb 'goon I should be able to seal the deal with cash monies my bro. And if you dont make it, perhaps @BLIZZO could bring it up?

I hope so. I'll need you to bring my ride!

Doesn't effect me, But didn't they move the beach hop to that weekend? Might stop @64valiant from.going? (To beach hop)
