    Default The Dead Motor Thread: Motor Obituary :bones:

    Hey guys, ive killed a few motors and so have most my mates, its always good to hear a good yarn like "i was givin her 10,000rpm and she let go"

    post ur pics of ur dead motor and a story of its death...

    i reckon there will be more nissans and everything other than toyota motors to fill the motor obituary

    ive got a list but no pics at the moment coz im at my mates house but here's my list... (ill post pics soon)

    R.I.P.-3K ke30- bush basher died in battle. too much valve bouncing and old oil
    put a leg out of bed, push started her and drove it home still...

    R.I.P.-rb30 r31- 350,000k's(odometer stopped working then) Turbo'd n/a with ice coffee oil(head gasket?) 16psi(1st turbo deceased) then 10psi(2nd turbo also deceased) went out with dead turbo and layed tread for a while, then she was knocking on heavens door so i (no) boosted home at 6000rpm followed by a large cloud of white smoke... eventualy spat a conrod 300mtrs away from my house, pushed it the rest of the way... went back and collected a couple of kilos of scrap (for the autopsy)




    hope this inspires some good stories...
