Rusty nail needs some serious advice as to blown up 3lt

[rusty_nail]

To me its an easy choice. Put another unknown in or go a nice reliable td42?

If your running slightly larger tyres then all you will need is a motor. Get the mounts welded on and hook in

Hey mate yeah thanks for the advice. It is 5am and I can't sleep been wide awake thinking about this for at least an hour. I think you are right at the end of the day of I put another 3l in it I'm only waiting till that one for boom. I can afford to 10k for a new motor right now so I'm thinking what I'll end up doing is towing it up to the old man's farm and will do the conversion there when I can afford it. He had all the nessecary equipment. It's good news that all I will need is a motor loom and bolt ons to suit.

Good luck with whichever way you go mate.
I hope I works out and goes smoothly for you.

ok, just spoke to dad. he has suggested we tow the car up to his property next week and park it up there. he will take out the motor flip it over, remove the crankshaft and check to see if the bore is scored. if it isnt and everything is cocher he will throw in another piston and a new set of rings all round(or replace what ever needs to be replaced) and that should put us back on the road. if there is some serious damage and a new motor is in order i will de register the car and save up till i can afford a TD42, then go about putting the motor in at the appropriate time. i think this is the best course of action at the moment. thoughts?

Mate your dad sounds to have a cool head... this sounds like a reasonable thing to do.

I know it sounds great to "Just wack a 4.2td in it" but it all comes down to what can be afforded.

Good luck

thats it mate. and if i can get out of it for $1500, then happy days. if it is worse than we think and the bore is scored then we will jsut start looking for a td42.

Hey Mat have you had a zd / td loom spliced??

Killa kustom kables up here do I believe in fashion where you order from him and he sends it to you and you plug it in. I think the hardest part will be the tacho.

hey mate, i had a read of his ebay page this morning, i believe its all plug and play. he mods the loom to suit the tacho.

as quoted from his page: "ALSO INCLUDES TACHO RE-CALIBRATION MODULE (NOT REQUIRED FOR RD28 MODELS, CALL FOR PRICING)"
