    Is it just me or does that look like a whole different car?
    Man, those wheels look sexual now!

    I'd have made the roof black as well, but that's my style,
    Kudos boet, I can imagine the looks cruizin through Alberton in that - looks like it's gonna go out and molest something.

    Did you mod your S53 for the GT4 flywheel?

    I need help I cannot understand why my engine as now
    Run bearings for the second time getting frustrated with

    Howsit boet, sad to hear that

    Did it run on one journal or all 4?
    How was your oil pressure?

    Causes
    Dirt getting in via the oil filter hole when opened or into the block from the top oil feed hole.
    One (or more) rods/caps not round (common after running bearing) - have them re-sized.
    Dirt in oil channels from previous blow-up?
    Motor not primed properly by spinning without plugs to get oil pressure to journals and turbo before firing it up.
    Low oil pressure - is the pump good?
    Bearings too tight?/loose? Did you have them measured with plastigauge - http://www.jensenhealey.com/tech/plastigauge/how-to-use-plastigauge.html

    (I only had 212 kw drove it a week had to remove it again) - With what ECU?, injectors, no AFM? 200kw is about normal for a stock GTE

    Love your rims, what is the size/ET etc?, got any better pics of them? I saw an Altezza with some 17" TSW Silverstones the other day - looks similar to yours

    HI Kevin thanks
    Kevin it damaged the no 4 rod big end and crank.
    Mag rims are 17 inch 7j nice fit no rubbing what so ever.
    Sorry I did not put pictures just to busy here are the full specs of the motor some will be
    amazed with the specs but aiming at 300kw to the wheels @ 1.2 bar.
    3sgte block from st185 bored at 87mm
    300zx twin turbo pistons 87mm stock able to handle 550hp
    stock rods 3sgte had to mod to fit piston onto it.
    Knife edged stock crank and balanced
    camry 5s oil pump
    T3/T4 turbo
    turbo branch made with 40mm bends at shalks racing
    external waste gate tail
    50mm tail dump valve
    exhaust free flow all the way to the rear 76mm with a tail piece of 120mm deap noise love it.
    cyl head stock mild cams cut 272deg
    injectors stock from a supra light blue 540cc but running at 600cc @ 4bar
    Fuel pressure reg with ext clock
    stock fuel rail.
    walbro 255l in tank fuel pump
    removed t-vis
    gearbox still stock s53 and shafts not dis-appointed was thinking it was going to spin but happy
    clutch its a four button type good grip with a stock re in-forced teeth on pressure plate.
    stock fly wheel
    piston rings are total seal expensive got them cheap lucky me
    bearings are AE was told to use these because they are the only one's that have cooper in them who I am to argue I used the first time acl and did not lost but everyone there choice's do not want to comment when it comes to things like this.
    I don't think i missed anything else

    Was it the same rod that ran before? Was the size checked?
    What make? What is the ET? What size tyres you got?
    Caution, stock rods are known to bend over 18psi
    Too small? I think you need around 800cc, your tuner will be able to establish if it's rich or lean
    Not bad - not many realize you are 4000m above sea level and that is a good number already, with tuning, more boost and the right injectors I'm sure you will get there

    Amen brother :smilielol5

    You've got to keep them registered over here, if you let the registration lapse for more than three months it becomes REALLY hard to renew. That's part of the reason why there are so many cheap ones on ebay and gumtree, they need more money spent on them to put them back on the road than they are worth :sad

    Hi Nando, hows things in Joburg nowdays?
    Yea Matt, cars you wanna keep are expensive to keep alive but if you want parts you just spend $300 on a junker and drive it home.
    I find the scrapyards in Oz are a joke (as in SA) and not worth approaching, wheras the NZ Pickapart system is brilliant.

    How about some pics?
    202? wtf, seen any 182's

    We've got one in Sydney called Pick'n'Payless and their prices are pretty reasonable, but yeah you're right, everyone else just rips you off. I saw a 162 being parted out on ebay not long ago, they wanted $110 for the radiator overflow bottle :crazy:crazy:crazy
