My Drift project - 83' Trueno coupe

[doggy]

Finally - manage to write up update in English too (lol project write up has been going on one local Lithuanian site in my Lith language - and i could not force my self to write everything in english )

Well - everything moved A LOT in front these past days - and there is A LOT done to the car / engine

here goes:




First test drive RHD + me beeing 197cm / 105kg + japanese guy beeing smaller then me = extrem driving I could barly fit in it lol

Oh well - as im totaly F/I guy - and i always said that N/A is expensive way to go slow - this aint give me any good impresions I drove few Hachis before - and this one was fastest of all - but still - im not going to leave it N/A You can hear in this video the jumping RPM's that i had...

Atleast few things that i was worried where ok - Gearbox + Diff These are for sale if anyone need a good solid gearbox - and TRD rear diff + LSD

Well - the next day (as i left my Hachi at my friends garage - cuz my workshop is a bit busy as ussual ) my friend aint had much to do - so he started to take the engine out As my friend is RB26 guy - 4AGE compared to RB26 was piece of cake In 1 hour - he managed to have engine on the ground I was a bit shocked - cuz he was working alone





We took all the wiring out, and started to rip the motor into parts to see whats inside





Here goes the head





Going upside down - and lets see what we got here...




And here goes nothing... 1-2 rods bearings - almost ALMOST dead... well - basicly the problem was in the oilpump / oi pressure - and THANKS god i aint too the car for another test drive - cuz i would now need a new crank...






Works done
To take everything apart it took us around 1.30hour working we did this with my friend - so it was kinda fast



Took all the parts to my friend into machine shop - and we will see how it goes
