Re: CA18DET parts for sale

Enzio, courier is easy.

I send a lot of stuff to Oudtshoorn.
Costs me R140 or less.
I've sent a whole engine that way for that price already.

Smoking Ace please keep the tappet covers for me.

Re: Clutch Alignment Tool

I have it a good go, but nothing doing.
The distance is the same through all 3 holes.

I dunno. The first time I put the box on the motor it took a few wiggles and in it went.

Re: Tractor BigZ

Found the problem.

2 injector plugs weren't on properly.
So she was missing on them.

Re: Tractor BigZ

Checked all of those.
No leaks...

Could it be the tune?
Maybe timing?

SOLVED: Tractor BigZ

Hey guys. So, BigZ is running. Over the weekend I had to replace the exhaust manifold gaskets. They were all blowing and burning through. So as you can imagine it sounded like a tractor lol. After replacing the gaskets, I thought it would change. It didn't. The bakkie idles and accelerates almost li...

Re: Nissan Hardbody - Mister Swartz

@Hotstuff...
I'm hoping to get her up to 165-170kW, 280-300Nm...
Not sure how close I would be right now.
But if the torque hits 300+ I'll be very happy.

@Skippy...
Yep. Glad I'm keeping her.
Would be sad that she goes before I got to enjoy her.
I'm so keen on gauges!

Re: Nissan Hardbody - Mister Swartz

So I decided to have the WR280 rebuilt.
I have to say I'm glad I did.

Saturday was spent rerouting boost pipes. Not much, I had to take a minute and think.
At first I kept on popping off boost pipes. But now that's sorted.

Awesome feeling getting to drive her hard now.
Boost rules!

Re: Nissan Hardbody - Mister Swartz

I was quite keen on a T3. But seeing as I may sell the bakkie (contract dependant), I'm not going to do anything else. I'm gonna keep the build as it is now. I'm having the WR280 built, and a spare T25 as well. So once it's finished, and running again, it's going up for sale. Fingers crossed I get t...

Re: Nissan Hardbody - Mister Swartz

Thanks Draco.

While I'm waiting, I'm mulling it over
T28/T3 sounds good.

Is a straight up T3 turbo too big?

I'll have the engine checked out in next week.
I should have some time on my hands.

Re: Nissan Hardbody - Mister Swartz

So I got lucky that the turbo went when it did. When I checked the dipstick this morning, it was dry. Checked twice, thrice, lol... dry... So I had lost all that oil. I believe it's through the turbo's seal. I haven't found a gasket for the downpipe yet. That was part of the button-up mission: 1: ex...
