No head or crank angle sensor problems in an R31

From memory that was only caused from the radiator height being lower than the head, proper bleeding of the system prevented this. The major ergonomic f up was the position of No: 5 sparkplug in comparison to the intake manafold wasn't it?

so where is this magical beast and what tracks has it conquered? Please suppy pics. Oh I forgot it hasn't been


PAINTED YET

Therefore can we presume it has not been tested offroad

Can we presume because it will be freshly painted that it will not be tested in the near future?


Mate save on the paint and get some Simex's as for my dodgy carbie

DIESELS DON"T HAVE THEM

It may not be painted yet . but i do know what the motor will handle . And have done enough motorsports to know how far to push one . All I am doing is installing a black 202 EFI . So no need to get all upset and try and hit below the belt . And when it's completed in the next month or so i'll put it though it's paces and see how long it takes to break or wreck and I didn't mention you having a carby ????

I don't get upset over crap, just cannot see the point painting an offroader when you could be getting decent tyres with the money. Saying that though my opinions usually differ from lots of people, I cannot see the point of lifted suspension on a 4wd either, most see clearance and better approach/departure angles, I just see an unnecessary raise in the CG.
