Nah Binder... you missunderstand me.

I'm just saying my part because I think the same shop did my build. But with that being said- different motor... different build... different time... and mine is fine. In fact better than fine.

I'm just cringing because I may know some of the guys involved and... well- anyway. It is what it is I guess-

 

thats tough news. Time to break down the block and send it back to Darton for inspection. You should be back and running well before the summer is over.

 

oh, i did misunderstand. That's a bummer. you aren't sleeved though are you?

 

Dam!

 

yes its sleeved. but Darton was supposed to have done the work. Guy on the M3 forums just had a sleeve drop on his block with a Darton installation as well....

 

I'm not but I think ace is.

 

hg failure so quickly hmmm. Sounds like u dropped a sleeve...

 

Might have. Everything was straight edged and inspected and decked before reassembly though. Heads were torqued properly. Not positive its hg but same symptoms as last time. I'm not down for a round 3 if it is. Cars getting parted and ill through a stock long block in myself and trade it in on a used zr1 I'm thinking

 

no update on if the HG is gone yet been to busy to get it to my shop, If it is though im going to pull the motor and part everything out the haltech gtm kit cams rods stroker short block and heads out. and the ID 1000's. been talking to the guys down at up rev and working on setting up a pretty big build, will let more info out as things actually start coming together

 

chicken, go for build 3, I did :P

 

no lol

 

saw your part out. but arent those parts from your other Z?

rebuilding the stroker?

 

doesnt seem to be the headgasket, think it was a combination of to much coolant in the system and a buble or two, bled the **** out of it and took a decent amount of coolant out and its running fine now so i may have dodged a bullet. not getting my hopes up tho lol driving it around some to confirm its ok, so far it has been after 200 miles.

i am parting my other DE z out. less motivated to getting it running just got the block and everything from it back and assembled with new piston rings and bearings and such, so trying to part that the tt kit out and some other various goodies out of it. might swap something into it or just part it out and sell the rolling shell. looking to get back into a bike again i miss my old one XD

 

Fingers crossed good luck man.

 

i can't say it enough since nobody listens:

SPILL FREE FUNNEL

it's THE ONLY WAY to get all the nasty air out of the 350z. I've never had issues with any other built car or bike in my life until i came to my g35. After trying for weeks to get it to bleed properly it still wouldn't open the thermostat at temp. 20 minutes with a spill free funnel and the issue was gone. Ever since then i've always used my funnel when i change coolant and never had another bleeding issue. I let friends around here borrow it when they have to do work since it's impossible to get all that air out due to nissan's poor design of having the thermostat and water passages in the heads higher than the fill neck.

20$ at napa or on amazon.com

 

we use a spill free everytime we bleed it and still had some issues XD

speaking of which i was playing around last night and ended up snapping both axles, had to have my budy tow me to his house that was less than a mile away thankfully lol, and did some drive way axle swapage today thankfully theyre easy to get to.

 

one broke inside the boot closet to the diff. the other one snapped right in the middle

 

Lol damn dude time to step up to some DSS Pro axles

 

damn, you musta been wheel hopping like crazy.

 

second gear clutch kick that hooked XD, was warm out and the tires had been hot lol
