Have not done a compression test yet but its blowing blue smoke and has gone threw over 5 litres of oil (1 small oil leak) in a little over 1200km. Have not really driven this thing that hard. Getting very frustrated with it though! Check emails Tim

Also does anyone no of a good engine builder in Brissy?

So if the pistons and rods are ok just reuse them? What sort of cost would I be looking at for a build like that? The car has very low kms but its barely done an kays in the last 5 years.

Hey guys, Have had a mate looking over my car and he thinks my motor needs new rings and bearings so thought I better look for another motor. Have had abit of a look round and have not seen many 4g63's round is there not many left these days or am I just not looking hard enough? Is it better...

Makes more sense now thanks Rob

So thats why the light on the dash is still on? That big plug doesn't look like its got anything to plug into?? Not really sure what you mean Rob? Theres a broken sensor somewhere?

I also have that massive plug in the boot thats not connected to anything! I thought maybe its for a antenna seeing as my car doesn't have one. Didn't some VR4's have a electronic pop up/down antenna? I noticed the Aussie spec one's are on the passenger side?

Don't have a boost gauge yet but it can't be much. Think i woke up my whole street at 530 this morning when i started my vr4, the belts where noise as till i was half way up the street.

Yes mate it has solved the boost cut issue! But now the cars as slow as a wet rag, Feels shit over 5000rpm.

Thats sound like heaps of fun! K let us no mate.

Um sort of better and worse! When warm its better but when its cold it seems worse. Did you end up getting that parts car? Let me no when your heading out to willowbank again would love to go for a ride or just come out and watch.

Went to Rob's joint today and met afew of the boys! Great people and cars and even learnt a thing or to. Thanks heaps for the look over my car guys and the history about my vr4.

Was on my way home this arvo when the temp gauge started going up, Got upto 3 quarters and I pulled up. Checked it out and the thermo fan wouldn't come on so left it about 10 minutes from home to cool. Just went and drove it home and it was fine! The temp sat low and the fan was working any...

Thanks heap for your help and info guys! The exhaust manifold has been fine after the bolts got changed and now i've been driving for afew days and noticed this arvo the hard to get to 1 on the far right has come loose again. The headlights just needed a new relay and other than that the cars...

Thanks guys! that site www.fvaq.com ain't workin? Do have another mechanic to use he's just dearer thats all but will see him soon I guess the way things are panning out.

So probably afew more problems to sort out yet! Is there a mechanic on these forums in Brissy or someone that atleast no's a heap about them? Thanks Rob323

Dropped the car off this morning again and the mechainic said the manifold came loose cause its got brass bolts on it?? He said they expand with heat and come loose if thats true why not change them when he refitted the manifold?

I'm in Parkinson and am abit of a novice when it comes to VR4s! Bit more complicated then what i'm used to. The oil spray is coming from the muffler! And the ebay chinese rubbish was on the car when I brought it I would never go n put that shit on my car myself. Do these cars usually dump a...

Hi all, Hope this is in the right section? Got my 88/89 VR4 registered and picked up Thursday afternoon from the mechanic. The bill was nearly half what I expected so thought I was off to a good start, Drove the car home which is about a 6 minute drive and then to work the next day (bout 15...
