Cheers mate! Vids to follow once they're uploaded.
Hope you get your engine issue sorted- shame it threw in the towel after the first session, it looked good while it was out there.

yeah it was lol i've got a update my project thread but a short story here
Poor thing, it was going so well nice and cool in the morning so didnt have to worry about coolant temps.
We pulled in to the garage after the 1st session and it was breathing heavier than it was before (engine was going to be replaced over winter anyways). It idled fine so we let it cool and then turned it off.
Got the call for the 2nd session and the poor thing wouldn't fire up
just crank over then it would try to catch but not run.
We checked everything we could
spark was good,
fuel was good, we even stripped the carb down and blasted it with brake cleaner
couldn't see anything under the rocker cover either
So we called it a day after that
Still need to diagnose how many cylinders i've lost
only saving grace is i just brought a seat leon fr diesel in place of my 200sx s14a as i dont need 2 toys and the leon is doing 55mpg vs the 25mpg out of the 200
