Hi guys, I'm having a few teething problems with this new engine in my glanza, i've ran it gently for 500 miles changing the oil and filter at 50, 250 and 500 mile markers, i've now done 750 miles and have started to give it some boost. now the engine runs well, i set the timing to 10 btdc with te1 and e1 ports bridged and it ticks over at 1250rpm, i've checked all the vac pipes that i can see and they seem fine, i also took the icv valve off and cleaned it out... but it still won't drop unless i move the dizzy. this is issue one lol but wait there's more... if i put my foot down the car g

fantastic guys, i pit my head under the bonnet but can't hear it, can hear it from inside the car lol. i'll take the icv off and give it a good clean, hopefully it's that. thanks again guys

Hi guys, got an odd ticking sound coming from somewhere under the bonnet (on intake manifold i think), i start the car up and no ticking at all, touch the accelerator pedal even slightly and i hear it, it's more noticable when cold and gets slightly quieter when warm. it's like 2 or 3 ticks per second (sorry for the odd description) and doesn't change speed when you press the throttle. Any ideas? it's doing my head in even though it's not loud and i hope it's not doing any damage on the new engine. Tia chris

Nissan use exedy clutches as standard in their cars (qashquai, note and juke) they're ok in my opinion, got a standard exedy one in my glanza

lol good stuff bud, i was kinda the same, neighbors giving me funny looks! got the japspeed cat back system on now and ohhh it sounds fantastic, i'm in love haha. got it insured (650 fc) which makes me sick! in for an mot on wednesday next week then just gotta tax it! woooo

yeah block was honed, thought it'd be quite smokey on start up but it's fine lol, i'll see if i can update my build thread with pics ect. any ideas on relocating the air filter peeps?

Nah it's standard mate, put in new oil & water pump, piston rings, mains rod and thrust washers, Tbelt kit, crank ground, head skimmed and rebuilt, got a japspeed exhaust and an oil cooler to go on after run in. think the turbo intake is 45mm isn't it? got a k&n filter with 65mm but can't find a 65-45 reducer elbow on flea bay lol.

@ bucket, it is mate, best feeling ever! yeah it's the egt, i've just disconected it and the light on the dash went out :-) Where do you get the filter relocation kits from? because i removed the air con this afternoon so sounds like a plan bud.

excited's not the word mate... extatic! had loads of set backs and then the weather's been cack but thought bugger it i'm gonna do it even though it's been -2 and i don't have a garage lol got to get it taxed mot'd and insured but it's gonna have to wait as it needs an efi pipe and a sensor for the exhaust (not the lambda one)

Wooooo, after 10 weeks of sourcing parts, trips to the engineers and building this engine i finally got the engine in, plumbed up and running and boy was it worth the wait! started first turn of the key, no taps, knocks or rattles and ticks over bang on 800rpm i would put pics up but it won't let me, just says something about dynamic pics aren't allowed Sorry if i'm babbling, just so chuffed to have got it done, can't wait to get it on the road now, woohoo chris

All the best chaps, have a goodun!

Marvelous! cheers mike

Hi guys, i'm in the middle of rebuilding my v engine and need to ask a silly question... i'm putting the piston rings onto the pistons (standard pistons and rings) and i have 3 different rings. oil ring obviously goes in the bottom groove on the piston but then i have ring 1 and ring 2. would i be correct in thinking the number 1 ring sits in the top groove and number 2 in the middle? just thought i'd better confirm before i make an arse of it lol cheers, chris.

i just nearly pee'd myself laughing!

spotted a black/dark glanza going into nissan offices in sunderland last night about 11pm

Welcome mate. did you buy this from manchester by any chance... i think i was looking at this when i was looking to buy. has a hybrid turbo i think? looks good too buddy

welcome mate, yeah there's quite a few of us up this way, newcastle, 5under1and, middlesbourgh ect. Yeah get a thread going, show off yer car!

just had it delivered dude, cost £100 llike but cheaper than collecting!

You're not too far from me then lol, just go my spare engine from the isle of Arran lol

lol, very nice car mate, worth taking your time over. mine's in bits, engine's in my sitting room! the mrs is doing her nut but too dainty to move it heehee. Where you from bud?

Looks good dude, think i saw this on ebay a while back but was miles out my budget! if it is the same car. Hope it's a simple fix bud.

Lol, mr toyota must have robbed me of my gasket! all i got was the pump

you don't get a gasket with the oil pump, toyota full gasket kit £139.75 from main dealer
