Hey guys I have just got the car back together and have it on the road for the first time since buying it a while back. It drives good except the driveshaft sounds very clunky and vibrates. I have put new mounting rubbers on it but it seems the driveshaft hangers still have movement in them...

I just received my new Slave cylinder today , also replaced all my shifter Bushings at the same time and wow what a difference that made . Now it's just time to run the engine in on some low boost . So fun driving the old vr4 . Think it may need the drive shaft rebuilt though

Sounds like a good plan oz! At least until I forge the bottom end . These things are the biggest money pits !!! I'm on a first name basis with jnz tuning ....

Ok that makes heaps of sense , so most good engine machine shops can do this for you ? Is it generally and expensive exersize ? If I'm running standard valves , could I just install some cams with out taking the head right off ?

Thanks for the feed back guys . So when you say 1mm oversized valves do you mean the valve stem is 1mm oversized ? (Making them stronger ) or the valve seat is over sized ? Sorry for the amateur question

Hey guys I was thinking about doing some head work on my Jspec . I have a new gt3540 waiting to be bolted on also have a link g4 . The head was off and all measurements checked 2000 kms ago . Replaced valve stem seals at the same time . But it's time to get this thing flowing . Can anyone...

Thanks Bazeng , they have one on the shelf . I have just rebuilt this engine and it only has standard rods and new pistons so may need to get some forgies and some head work before I bolt up the new turbo . Have you tried this turbo with a .70 housing ? I seem to remember you have tried a few

Hey guys I have just comeback from Nz and while I was there I managed to pick up a new genuine Garrett bb gt35 turbo with a .70 housing for a an absolute song !!!! $800 Aus dollars . My question is can this turbo be run with the standard radiator clearance space and if so what manifold would be...

My sheds in Ormeau Khubner1 . Think they moved Nemo this week into their main work shop in Blanck st.

I was out working on the old vr4 this arvo and was chatting to the new Tennant that had moved into the shed next to mine . Turns out they are a race team that races porches . They also happened to mention they had nemo living in the shop . So we went and checked it out . Has no motor at the...

Thanks for the info guys . I just found out one of my friends husband worked for a rallyart race team for a few years in Japan and is now an engineer for one of the v8 supercars teams . He is going to give me a hand getting it all set up for some track work . Should speed up my build .

Well I think it's about time I stuck the old 1988 vr4 on the track and time attack looks fun . I just fitted some bc coilovers , now I have to upgrade the brakes . How will my standard Jspec brakes handle the track ? If I buy some good pads and slotted discs will that do the trick ? Any advice...

The old knock sensor that came out was a 27mm . Yeah it was tough getting the arm in there, ripped the started motor out to get better leverage .

Hahaha I only had to chop up a 24 and 27mm spanner to half size and stretch my arm out !!!

Woohoo jst fitted my new knock sensor and the light isn't coming on anymore and it drove perfect . Managed to get the final parts of a fellow forum member in Brissy , now it's time for a road worthy , rego and some run in kms !

Here is the old girl with the new front bar that arrived from nz last week.

Thanks for the advice guys . Pwr's factory is across the road from my workshop . May wander over and see if they have something .

Hi Guys I have read a heap of old posts about why sized fmic everyone is using and I wanted I te some feedback on firstly what sized ic to go with and then what route to take the piping . I have a new motor with evo 3 turbo currently but want to eventually bolt on my gt28 turbo . Trying to keep...

I have a new knock sensor coming later this week . Hopefully that fixes it . My new front bumper just arrived from Nz and is being painted so I can fit it up today . So she's all finished ready for some engine running in kms then I will fit my Garrett 28rs and see how she goes .

Sorry yeah diagnostic code is telling me its the knock sensor .
