Ekona Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Nothing dodgy about that, at least the seller is being honest. The ad will get pulled though as you have to offer PayPal when selling through eBay, and he says cash or bank transfer only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Didn't mean dodgy in relation to the seller i meant dodgy as in a dodgy car meaning faulty car there for being dodgy....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Well it IS a bit dodgy as its kicking out blue smoke and he doesn't know what is causing it Never heard of a Nemisis Hydra ECU before though.. Oh and nurrish, stop looking at TT kits as you know one day you'll buy one if you arent carefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurrish Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 not a chance dude the closest i'm going to come to TT is that carrot mod that was knocking about a few months back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Is that Flirts old car? Could well be. I never saw it but think it was a GM drop top. How did he get rid of it for his new car? I know he was having problems with it before getting rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I will see if I can get a comment from someone who knows the car well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Coops Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 very intrested in this just worried bout that blue smoke, piston rings, turbo oil seals (but said they are new) What changing a clutch could cause this ????? Cheers coops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 very intrested in this just worried bout that blue smoke, piston rings, turbo oil seals (but said they are new) What changing a clutch could cause this ?????Cheers coops probably nothing....... 3diddyz allegedly told me the car had 'a history', a couple of months ago before it was sold last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon Coops Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Really what sort of history? could you shign some light or show me where to find the info? coops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 very intrested in this just worried bout that blue smoke, piston rings, turbo oil seals (but said they are new) What changing a clutch could cause this ?????Cheers coops Do you really know what you may be letting yourself in for. More than likely det will have occurred causing potential piston damage. Poor control over ignition and fuel combined with oem internals is always a recipe for disaster with fi applications:surrender: Do not be fooled by the seller's sob tale as I am sure that he knows exactly what the issues are. The connection between clutch and failure is the CPS. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Coops Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I was only going to have the engine complete with kit from hm then start ripping it apart and building it back up. Why do you think it has only done this now ? he says if runs smooth and still pulls hard, if major det had occured surely this would not be the case? unless he is talking arse but i would obviously hear it running before i did any deal! Any help is great coops ( i have a pretty good tech mind so would be doing all engine work myself exept machining of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 he is talking arse You answered your own question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I did not say major det It will not take much det to damage a piston on the VQ35 and in most cases lack of power will not be evident in the early stages. Trust me I have been there Would you like some pictures? Also a Cylinder Leakage Tester 2 Gauge would identify any potential internal issues re. bypass. But I would suspect that this has already been done and that the seller knows exactly what is wrong with his power unit.

Carbon Coops Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 its got 200psi on 5 cyclinders 180 on the 6th, turbos have just been rebuilt as this was thought to be the original fault thoughts now are that the engine is pressurising the oil system pushing the oil out of the turbo seals as there is oil in the intercooler and pipework? what are your thoughts?

Martin W Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 doesn't list a true dual exhaust, that won't have helped the situation... Are you about to quote a 2 and half year old thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
