Sounds like fun!  Ah, I see. Glad you've got a replacement though. ;D Not really, 1.9 N/A Diesel is quite possibly the slowest thing I have driven. Maybe apart from the SR20 CVT powered Almera Tino. Even the owner said he's never seen more than 50 out of it! As for replacement pully? £220 from Nissan on trade with a 6 week backorder. £38 from Rock Auto with priority shipping. Nissan need to get thier ass in gear!  now your gonna have a nice quiet, semi-rebuilt, more poweful, engine to back up your P.I.M.P car  with your skills mate it will be done in no time  Skills Schmills. Its nothing but nuts and bolts.  I've seen you welding! Thats skillz! Awesome. This is going to be so cool - more so than just sorting the original motor out. A longer journey, but a far better place to be when you get there. Standing in engine bay shot FTW! Shame I can't use the original, but its in so much of a bad way before I even started. I should really have just bought Si's and a gasket set from day one, but wheres the fun in that? ;D It should be a pretty special motor when its all finished though, so worth every second!  Gotta get a photo of me in every empty engine bay I encounter. I am sure there are more.. Or I have at least stood in more. At least 2 polos, a golf, a Corado, a Xedos 6 (WTF!? lol!), 3 Astras and a Chevy Kalos. And sat in a Navara D40. Comfy!  |

New crank timing belt pulley and oil pump on  Its tight with the cooler fitted, needed to mod the gine mounts a little..  But its in!  Starting to worry about where the oil cooler is going to end up though.. Its not looking too promising. Will have to find some oil pipe I think..  |

Got all the sump on and all that razmataz. Only to find 2 things: I have now got leaking transmission cooler hardlines. And I have to take the sump off as the dipstick is trapped outside the guide tube because I put the sump on with the dipstick in  To avoid doing this and to give myself a little break, (have been working on the car in the evenings after work which in reality means I am working from 9 til 9) I started to build up the heads in my lunch hour instead of working on after work.  Will be working on rectifying sump issues tomorrow and ordering pipe to replace the fractured hardlines now |

Been a while coming (3 weeks?!) but its getting there.. C'mon, spill the beans on this secret purchase! ;D could you replace your cooler hardlines with braided hose ? The SX boys do that with their turbo oil and water lines Hose is on order from merlin motorsport along with s/steel overbraided hose to replace the now-leaking trans cooler hardlines. Should be on my doorstep tomorrow morning Got the sump off and on again. Bloomin' hot working under the car in overalls in this weather.  Its safer than it looks. Honest! no, its notPainted the new, uncracked manifolds that came from our one and only DatMan with some VHT. Looks silly but thats part of the fun  And got the N/S head back on! ;D  Getting there! |

Right, had a box arrive today, full of oil lines. The s/steel overbraided stuff for the trans-cooler is so nice! ;D Otherwise, just another boring update.. painted the manifold's link pipe..  and fitted that and the N/S manifold to the head.  well, its progress |

Manifolds look pink in the pics. I can assure all the readers that they are not..... ....they are a shade of AWESOME otherwise known as bright 'Rajani' orange ;D BTW - that fan now meets all the health & safety standards now its been painted white - light enough in colour to deflect any hands or other body parts getting near it. Bengineering at its finest |

Heads are on! Timing belt is on! PAS pump is on! A/C pump is on! Exhaust manifolds are on! Inlet runners are on! ;D  Getting there! ;D I seem to have lost the tensioner assembly for the A/C belt though  Good job I have a spare..  Getting some bits and bobs in the morning to crack on and hopefully have it running Sunday evening. |

Good work mate, how did you snap the crank? Matt Cheers dude. Getting there! Crank? \/ Well, about the crank.. I tried using a puller, which ended up munching the teeth on the pully. So I ordered a new one and consinged this one to 'scrap'. Was driving it off from behind with 2 old screwdrivers evenly, behind the pully on the (scrap) oil pump and it was coming off just fine, till the end of the crank went BANG. Much better ways to get it off than that, I know. Which is what I will do with this engine. I'm just going to cut a slot into it nearly down to the crank then split it with a cold chisel. Then fit the new one Done. |

Car is home at last! but not after even more issues...  All ready to come home! ;D Did about 40 miles though and it started to get rattly from the top end. Fuggit I thought, worry about that another day, I've got the car back at last. Probably just one of the new lifters faulty. Well, wasn't half wrong! Or not..  Had to limp it home on 5 cylinders with number one injector disconnected to stop fuel wash and fireback as the exhaust valve was just not opening. No idea what happened but popped to work, grabbed the lifters from the 300ZX heads and popped them in after checking the cams and oilways (all good) and its sweet again. Done over 100 miles since that and its still going strong so fingers crossed! So now its home.. I will gets some photos soon!  |

Thought i'd make a start on some of the niggling bodywork that ruins the car for me, what now the engine has not exploded all over the road again.  Ugger-lee. Rubbed it back to steel, zinc-primed and painted and then lacquered.   Ok, its not amazing, but the chrome hides most of it anyway. Seriously.. Promatic rattle cans are awesome. Combined with 2K clear in a can, that is as good as the rest of the cars paintwork in terms of finish.  And. Enjun.   Yeehaa. |
