Just purchased mine yesterday. You can add me to the list of owners. c30

AZbrz89 · 02-03-2015, 03:15 PM

Purchased my c38 back in December 2014. Hopefully ill get over 300whp with 91oct. I have currently installed, skunk2 header, perrin over pipe, invidia front pipe castles, tomei type 80 exhaust. Will be buying Raceseng pulley kit. radium dual catch cans and 550cc injectors, mishimoto hose kit. Are my expectations to high???

Heard the knocking sound, pulled over and got the car towed.
But the damage was already done.
I was logging while it happened, oil temp went up high in no time...
I am really glad it did not happen a couple of weeks earlier. long road trip in europe.
Drove in the alps, nurburgring & autobahn.

I am installing a brand new oem crank, BC rods and new bearings.
Got the block inspected, its still ok.

Should be doable as long as your tune is good. Just have to avoid the knock from 91 octane.

So what caused the cover to come loose?

Oh ok. Ya I wish I could get e85 but its not available as much where I live. Will maybe do a flex fuel kit later on. My tuner is a high end tuner in fact he was flown out to Dubai to tune some lambos etc. Hes charging me 500 for a tune. I just can't imagine the amount of fun ill have when im done!

I have no idea, built on a monday perhaps.
The motor has never been disassembled after it left the car factory.
Not covered by warranty due to mods...
The oil pump and the cover on the other side was ok.
But the cover for the oil filter passage was loose.

Wow man that sucks.

Isn't it illegal to refuse warranty for a part that wasn't effected by the mods? I think I'd be talking to a someone higher up the food chain or to a lawyer.

But then again he isn't stateside abd the laws there may be different. But yeah I'd fight that too....

Nodded how? I thought u were NA?

Andreas83 · 02-04-2015, 01:26 PM

The car had a full exhaust, BPB, intake, tune, catch cans and oil cooler+++
I could probably have argued about it, but that would probably have taken forever.
And if i had lost, it would have ended up costing me alot more.

@KraftWerks, holy smokes my belt just broke!!! Didn't even realized it until I notice I'm going on boost. Car still drives like a champ with the belt broke. @moto-mike thanks for the great tune I can still drive around without the belt with no issue or codes being thrown by the ECU.

Is it acceptable to say that the life of our belts would be under 1 year ?

I guess it's time for the "Smaller Pulley's"?

I remember someone mentioning a video on how to replace the belt without removing a bunch of parts, was it ever posted?

Rulin · 02-06-2015, 06:55 PM

Wow what was that only 2-3 months? /fingerscrossed mine is a 2nd owner and running fine after 9k miles

sw20kosh · 02-06-2015, 07:30 PM

How did that happen? Is this a failure point?
