PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf thats nothing…
all of the following parts on my car broke or required replacement this summer for various reasons
all of the following parts were purchased brand new this year:
GT2871R .64 turbo
2 complete sets of OEM nissan bearings (rod, main, etc.)
Arias piston rings
cometic headgaskets required replacing on account of multiple rebuilds
the following parts required replacing and were either purchased used or replaced due to in the inconveniences they created:
UR crank pulley - didnt seal
megan turbo elbow - cracked, not supported properly
megan flex downpipe - rubbed frame
D2 coilover dampers - we all know they suck balls
D2 coilover springs - suck as bad as the dampers
SR bottom end - spun bearing, $600 in machining wasted, block not reusable, had to get entirely different block and redo all machining
SR crankshaft - flywheel bolts broke off in it… another waste of balancing and polishing
SPEC stage 3 clutch - rebuilt
if you count last winter then i also went through:
Apexi N1 Dual - all hangers broke off and tig welds around muffler seperated - repaired last season
stock SR T25
S14 T28 - blew in 3 months
more D2 dampers
various accident related damages:
chassis
Type S FMIC
etc.etc.etc.
breaking stuff is fun.
You seen the amount of time and $$$ I put into this car this summer ed. For a the shittist summer ever. Less that 10,000km it was driven and that includes going to mtl :roll:
I didn’t bother listing the shit I bought this summer everything new
GT28RS
OEM gasket set
another CA18 engine set to replace the blown bottem end
Full e-manage Setup, ignition harness, boost sensor, softwear ect the whole setup
Taka lines
The list goes on
we should have a competition to see who wasted the most money this year…
i think knowing that a few other guys went through all the same shit would make me feel alot better…lol
I know phil is also up there with us, from fixing from that accident. Adam also with his Z32. Oh can’t forget gautum and his T3 setup.
Amazingly, I don’t think i’ve broken anything this summer. Only:
– Vibrated some downpipe bolts loose
– Worn summer tires to just about wear bars
Car’s been pretty go thus far…
I broke my VTEC.
i got all my windows broken. and my trunk latch went on me.
thats about it for the season, nothing serious like you guys ^^^
My downpipe… again lol. Lost a front caliper bolt, and wasted my rear pads. It helps to be n/a sometimes.
i broke an exhaust manifold stud, and my oil filter almost broke me :scratch:
ahem,
last Summer:
Front end smashed (6 weeks)
28 hours after getting it back, SR tranny blow to the moon (6 weeks, fucking suppliers)
blew stock SR clutch to peieces car was stored for winter.
this summer:
master brake cylinder
stock SR flywheel (backed off, not torqued to spec :? ) (4 weeks, backordered on ACT flywheels)
2 days after flywheel was replaced, i demolished a SR top AND bottom end, including 3 holes in the block, 4 bent valves, a snapped lifter, a piston that is now the size of a coaster, a rod that makes an “S” and a gold mine in the oil pan. that was June 20th car is just going to be started in 8 hours after i get some sleep.
