How doo guys thought I'd post my project thread up now I've joined up as a full member again lol..
Yep changed cars again (yeah yeah I know I have a problem lol) I did want to get an R32 however I just couldn't get the funds together for one as the prices are getting pretty high even for a gtst (borderline 350z money).
SO I started looking for a cheap s-body I did aim for an s13 but couldn't find a decent on :/ then i found this:
Spec:
Apexi induction kit,
Elbow back 3" stainless exhaust,
Sparco Harnesses,
Short shifter,
unknown brand coilovers (unfited)
Aircon deleted,
Braided turbo oil and water feeds,
Recent rewelded sills.
I got it for a good price just a short 4 hour train trip and 3 hour drive back and it did the journey without issue EXCEPT the last half mile where a horrid noise started after a lil blast I had a look under the bonnet and this is what i heard:
Vid of noise on start up
At first I thought its the bottom end has spun a bearing so didn't start it up again an just started pricing up a new engine or rebuild parts meanwhile I started thinking more in to the noise and felt it didn't sound like a spun bearing so went and started the car up and NOTHING no noise at all so took it for a drive to get fuel still no noise but when it got darker and the engine warmed up it returned as soon as i turned the light on so parked it up and waited till morning to investigate and found this:
Watch that pulley wobble
After seeing this its obvious the rubber that holds the 2 pieces of the pulley is failing
SO thanks to Driftbitz I've ordered a decent second hand replacement and the morning after set about removing the old one, half an hour later:
erm do ya recon the rubber failed?
What I actually want to do with it I'm just wanting to put a nice kit and decent wheels on it but god knows what i'll do lol
