Gtr Nismo #283

[EtienneGignac]

Relax....it's gonna get trashed after 30 mins of use anyway.

[EtienneGignac]

Skyline is no-go I think I might have messed up something. This car might end up for sale without en engine..

[Coolstop]

What happened something go worng with the motor?

[derk]

wtf.... why are all the recently finished gtr builds dieing?!

im scared to finish mine now..........

[EtienneGignac]

No compression on all cylinders.

Hopefully I just put the timing belt wrong so that valves are not closed when pistons are TDC...god that sucks.

[cozmosland]

ah **** man , i just went through the entire thread and got all sad
dont sell it, not after all the hard work.

im eager for the next update.

Hey man your car looks dead sex, good luck with getting it running.

I work in Berwick which is not to far from you, just wondering where you got your car dyno'd at with all 4 rollers?

[EtienneGignac]

Hey ! Yeah berwick is like 15 minutes from here.

It was dyno'ed when I was back in ontario. I think there's a place in windsor that has a 4wd dyno...heard it on the radio not too long ago. They had an open dyno day or something.

[c0ntract_thrilla]

Good stuff, I know only one high performance shop in Windsor that would cater to that sort of thing... Hood's Hardware. A well known 4X4 dirt racing enthusiast shop... and a hold up for some bad ass VW's. There is also an in ground dyno in Berwick, on Rafuse RD. Highway #1 but thats a single roller so you would have to dyno with RWD.

If you still are thinking of selling feel free to shoot me a pm... I am in the market for a GTR...

[EtienneGignac]

I have a lot invested in that rebuild so I'll definitely try to make it work first...

So I put the leakdown tester on #1 and I could feel the air coming out of #2 spark plug hole. Head gasket is ******. Looks like I'll have to get the engine out again

At least I'm getting pretty good at it

[EtienneGignac]

Feel free to drop by if you wanna help :P

Feel free to drop by if you wanna help :P

Hell if you need a hand I would be glad to... I have not had any experience with a BNR though. I have pulled a few motors before, so I know its nice to have an extra hand.

Car looks great. I don't blame you for not selling, with that much committed to a build I would be hard pressed to part ways with it to!

[EtienneGignac]

I'll start by retorquing the head just to make sure. When I did it I had the cams in but I think this time I'll take the cams off just to get the best access possible to the headbolts.

Next update tomorrow...

[Imation]

Sry to hear the news. I know you take your time with everything bad luck. If you need or want a hand pulling it let me know. I still o you for helping me pull mine last fall.
Im only a short drive away let me know.

[EtienneGignac]

Thanks for the offer Dan. I'll let you know if I need help. What's up with you anyway ? I saw you sold a couple of parts...

For the update: can't get the crank pulley out because there's not enough space to fit the impact wrench and of course I torqued it to spec...something like 300 ft-lbs. So I'll have to take the engine out. Probably this weekend. Then I'll be able to take the timing belt out, then the cams, then retorque the head.

A little bit of cleaning and back in it goes.

More to follow.
