Wasso Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 She's hit the big time! Apologies it was whilst moving but made sure it was safe to do so with no danger to others. It's still on the original clutch (for those who panic clutches wear out after 40,000 miles). A shame she won't see anything substantially higher with the engine swap. well done girl I've enjoyed every mile 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Chris I knew the oil pun's would come along. To be fair the problem has not got any worse, it's a consistent loss over the miles (within Nissan tolerances) which is a load of bollox in my book. Either way, she gets a good seeing to on the motorway every day. Always kept in good order, unlike some who actually couldn't read the dipstick and rag the hell out of their car with no oil in it It will be the end of her heart soon though...... she will be like Robocop! To be fair Bennett the VQ is a tough old cookie, you need to give it some serious reasons to give up and die. In fact I'm surprised your engine has lasted this long too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Bennett had a transplant, hence he sold the SC setup, he's now running a 800cc engine in his zed, bored out to 843cc. Recession, you know... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 And given you drive it like you stole it when the opportunties arised it just goes to show that driven well and levels regularly checked the engines and clutches have good endurance Let's hope Suzi's transplant all goes well and she performs even better for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of items not service maintenance: 1 x Coil pack That's it.....!! No failed clutch, no clicky axle, no exhaust issues when it was oem up until 20k miles ago. Original battery, fans still work, crank position sensor fine, no squeaks or rattles, no wobbles, no clunking, no worries. Okay so she's eaten enough oil to cause a major oil disaster, but the revup is know for oil burning. She still goes as well as she should pulls hard, responds sharply and stays in a straight line. Ok there's a huge amount of aftermarket suspension and performance mods but still no hassles. Hurrah! Good old Suzi Her namesake of the Perry kind is wearing pretty well too I digress.. Yup that's who's she's names after the sexy minx!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
