TDI Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hi, I hope you guys may be interested in a project we currently have under construction. It's not actually a 350Z - it's a G35 Skyline but I hope there is enough similarity to have some appeal to you. I'll post up in a blog form if I may? Info to follow shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Sounds great! Although Im more comfortable with doing cosmetic mods rather than mechanical, (and it takes me all my time to get round to doing anything on the cosmetic side). Im still keen to read about projects like this its great to get an insight into how these things are undertaken etc. Im sure there are others that lik to read about these projects too. Dont forget you have your own TDI blog area where you can administer the posts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDI Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 The pistons crowns showed a remarkable amount of carbon deposits for such a low mileage engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDI Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Our client had reported a degree of oil consumption which explains the carbon deposits. Subsequent measuring of the cylinder bore integrity revealed an excessive amount of ovality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The pistons crowns showed a remarkable amount of carbon deposits for such a low mileage engine Any particular reason for this? Running on 95 RON or something, just poor quality fuel etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
