Going to book my ticket for this soon, I just have a quick question for those who've been on track at this event before - are the usual noise limits in place of 100db at 4.5k revs? Or is it a bit more relaxed / no limit because it's a show? Cheers.

About a grand. Maybe you should consider a higher mileage HR or go for an older DE? Still great cars. I wouldn't be that concerned with mileage, the engines are solid. Some of the low mileage cars are up for a lot of money, there's a HR with 19k miles up for £20,000 on Autotrader, more of a collector's car really with that few miles. Example of a cheaper HR- https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202305197571888

Gallery gaskets not being done should be a consideration since is not a cheap fix. Beyond that just maybe point out some wear and tear to see if they won't bring it down a bit, make sure the service history follows Nissans schedule etc, can't think of much else but good luck with the purchase 👍
-
A HR at sub 40k miles is probably worth about 12-15k if I had to guess.

I came up to Halifax near you to get my gaskets sorted last August. Horsham and also Abbey will sort it for you, but I didn't want to drive that far so Tarmac Sportz recommended me a garage called AB Autoworks. You're right about the price, will cost about a grand. I got a service done at the same time because pretty sure they have to drain the oil for the job anyway but might be wrong on that. I'll link you their facebook, they've put a couple of things on there about gallery gaskets recently - https://www.facebook.com/abautoworkshalifax/

Cheers mate. Managed a couple of 14.3's which was pretty disappointing, should really get in into the 13's especially with a HR but i'll blame it on being my first time and having a passenger 😅. Still great fun though. Mods are in my signature but ill just paste it in case your on your phone and can't see it - 08' HR In Night Blue, Eibach ARB's and Spacers, Tein S-Tech Springs, Tarmac Sportz Lightweight Flywheel, HFC's and Front Splitter, Milltek Y-Pipe, Custom Catback, HKS Filters, UpRev Tuned 326hp 280ftlb

Is it worth buying a HR that's suffering from low oil pressure?
Ben350 replied to FearZ33's topic in 350Z General
Think it was 800 - 1000 I forget exactly. Yeah I suppose it could be a risk. Some will say it won't cause damage others will say it can, but who really knows? Doubt anyone's stripping engines down to check. Just a bit of a gamble if you're willing to buy one. Maybe think about giving a garage like the one i mentioned a ring or another well known specialist like Horsham Developments and get their opinion on the matter. -

As far as I know, oil gallery gasket issues can’t cause any engine damage, but can cause worse performance while the pressures low due to lack of advanced cam timing. I had my gallery gaskets done at a garage called AB Autoworks in Halifax who work on a lot of these cars and when I asked if any damage had been caused the answer was no. -
The motul 75W-85 from Tarmac is what I use with some molyslip in too. The OEM oil is hard to find these days, but they're the same grade and viscosity so should be fine.

Cheers for the offer Andy, but I think I’ll just make my way down a bit later on than that. -

If anyone else is coming down the M1, me and my mate will probably make a stop at Leicester Forest East Services at about 6:45, which is about 45 mins away from Silverstone. -

If you look at the top comment on this post someone else had the same issue and the organisers replied and said they refreshed it. Maybe you need to contact them? My stand pass looks fine so guess just some people are affected. https://www.facebook.com/JapFestCarShow/posts/pfbid0uRsdMBNTnW57jfoCE3ioUhTQkdPu9MrT7VeSupB95fziAoqsAWYC2eSXxKZPJRdJl?locale=en_GB -

They just said on FB they're distributing them over the next 24 hours. -

They didn't come out the factory with them but you can buy cheap ones like that off eBay and wire them in. Paints looking great 👍

If you don't end up getting the other one and you're after a scanner with a built in screen here's the one I use for my car- https://www.amazon.co.uk/MOTOPOWER-MP69033-Universal-Diagnostic-Protocol/dp/B081635ZLF Good luck with sorting out the car. Here's a pic to show it works-
