    End of the road on the 15th Sept 2021

    I'm sad to say I'll probably fall off the list next renewal too. There's just not enough actual 4x4 modification going on for me. As for diversifying well hell yes, get it on. I notice alot of bullshit spam posts of late. Can they be banned? Good luck Ted 👍 makes me think of Father Ted 🤪

    Going off grid :)

    I'm using the tesco box as a storage unit. It's meant to be classed as a temporary structure but that only works for domestic situations. I've been told as its business related and accessed daily I'm already in a grey area ! It's difficult to find out properly without asking the council !! If I...

    Going off grid :)

    Well then, I do now have the panels and inverter package. I've recently bought an old Tesco fridge back for storage. The plan is to mount the solar panels on the roof of said tesco box. Council planning needed now �� I'm still to actually buy batteries mainly because the summer...

    Ford Maverick

    If I was interested I'd offer you 400 quid too. Chancers hoping you reply back with a counter offer. 800 is cheap. Have you put it on the Facebook nissan page ?

    Crank case pressure

    Nothing special to run in. Just change oil at 500 miles. Whole new thread on does and donts of running in oil �� Suffice to say engine machinist said modern oil is fine. Better work the engine sensibly .

    Crank case pressure

    I think it the agricultural method 🤨 I cleaned it before building it up again. I was amazed at the ring wear 😡 Live and learn though 😜

    Crank case pressure

    Yes it is :D Previously I had it honed at a local machinist; big mistake:doh This time I took the block to a pro engine build company and furnished them with the Nissan spec. The bores were still within spec and no ovality ( we assumed honed out last time). The previous build had only managed a...

    Crank case pressure

    Yep, I had the block cross hatch honed. Apart from investigating what's in the oil return pipe, I think it is what it is now ��

    Crank case pressure

    All of about half an hour . Had it running on test frame. Now in situ. Bore was still in nissan tolerance but on the lower end of the range as it had been honed before. New piston rings, gapped and clocked :thumb2 I expect some blow by thinking now about how to manage it ?? Ill open up the...

    Exhaust Gas Temperature

    I reckoned on 650 as a good safe EGT on the Pearl. If it started tickling 700 I'd back off 🙂

    Crank case pressure

    Hi learned ones, I'm popping back in for some much needed help. I've rebuilt the Black Pearl engine again. Timing is spot on now but not stock. Ended up tweaking pump and cam timing but it runs sweet as a nut now. Good oil pressure and compression test shows 380 ( 4 chuffs) to 400 ( 5 to 6...

    S157 FWL - Y61 LWB 2.8 Nissan Patrol GR

    Matey boy the 2.7 is capable of plenty of power and often used in Patrols. If only you were on faceache I could link you to several compound turbo units, plenty on VNT turbo etc. Easy swap too. Then there's the Q32 engine. Big brother of the 2.7 At work now .....
