    Shooting for 10's on my daily driver

    I fixed the oil leak but, when I tried to start it, all I got was a loud back fire. I have fuel and spark obviously, and all my cams are in time, tomorrow I'm pulling off the crank bolt to check that the crankshaft is in time with the oil pump. Other than a timing issue I don't know what it could be. All my timing components are brand new. Tensioner is holding tension and it's the Kevlar belt. Anyone else have an idea? Also if you are local to the Phoenix area feel free to stop by

    Yeah that's what I was thinking and I'm not too positive that the oil pan seals well anyways. It is one of the few items that I did not replace even though the seller of the short block said it was brand new it clearly was not, and the so call professional machine shop that assembled it did a very poor job, which is why I had to rebuild it and replace most of the internals. Not to mention some one had painted the block pink, then silver to cover up the pink and when they painted they did not cover up any oil gallies or coolant passages. This guy basically sold me his $2200 drop in ready piece of crap. No wonder he didn't return calls after it was sold and delivered to me

    And the oil pan leaks again, not nearly as bad as the first time but still a steady drip, bit it's not in the same place as before. The guy that sold me this block stripped out about 5 of the oil pan bolt holes so I'm sure this isn't helping. Spend $2200 on a short block that I had to tear apart and rebuild, I was told it was drop in ready. This blows I'm gonna try something else here in a bit hopefully it works out

    Started to get ready for the big drop in day tomorrow! It is STUPID HOT right now so I really only have half a day to work on it (early morning starting at 5:30 and late night) so hopefully I can atleast get the motor in and the trans mission attached. Then Sunday put in the radiator, intercooler, oil cooler, and hook up some form of exhaust. I might leave it open downpipe seein as I have a neighbor that revs the crap out of his old crap Nissan truck with no exhaust litterly everyday for about 30 min. No idea what this guy is doing to it but I know excessive reving of the motor is of no use. Especially at 11 at night. So I think I may need to test mine out open down pipe for a bit to get the point across.... :redface:

    Ok so I have a kinda stupid idea... I'm ready for the insults. But I want to take out my factory seats and install some stock r35 gtr seats. The reason behind it is I love my power leather seats, but they don't hold me in at all. And the gtr seats are way better in the holding department and they are still a nice leather with alcantra and have power seat controls. I know they are heavy but I can shave weight in other places on the car. But does anyone know of another seat that is a nice leather finish that holds you in and possibly has electronic controls. The gtr seat also is heated like mine so that is a plus
