Although you have issues with the pump I would be one happy camper with buying that engine unseen mate.

Really ... I was tempted to give it a good go and thought to myself it probably needs a good run... I still need to sort a few things first.
The speedo is not working and need to trouble shoot that, I had to use a speedo app while I was out before.
My tyres are out of balance also so that does not help.
Early days I guess and clearing my head for the last 10 days has helped.
yep there is a reason why there is a red bit on the tacho.

Having a quick catch up on your thread last night and again tonight I think it sounds pretty positive BA. Not quite to the end yet, but the good compression across all cylinders is a big win compared to the scare earlier. At least now you know you can slowly get there as you get the $$$ together. If compression was stuffed that was going to be a killer.
Thanks, Cameron

Ha ha ha ha ha ha................Gold !!!!!!!!!!!
So if it does not want to pull all the way then I need to park it and get the pump sorted.
In a race application the needle will go into that red part.
What does it pull to? If it still pulls ok and economy and smoke aren't excessive then there is no reason to park it.
Did you get the Dyno sheet from JPC? They would show your power curve through to 4,000 I would have thought. When I first did the Dyno I found another 1000 revs for sure mate, until then I'd never really gone past 3000 but it bogeys to 4k now.
I keep forgetting you don't have a turbo yet, I would run that pump until your cashed then do the turbo and pump build at the same time. You can spend a bit or a Sh1t load though.
Chasing 120rwkw is realistic and reasonably priced, chasing 150rwkw is significantly more, chasing 180 to 200rwkw is a whole lot more money.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

I will go out tomorrow and see what it will do... I really did just putt around and only went on the freeway along to the first exit so did not go far.
Maybe I will take the boy for a decent trip up the freeway for 30 min or so... hopefully I dont need rescuing ..he he !!!
Well by the sounds of it, it is good news man. Glad to hear. If you are going for a burn up the freeway for 30 min and need rescuing ( not that you will) give me a buzz I am home all morn once I have dropped the kids off.
