i'm blaming a non nissan clutch cable, will see when the lsd box goes back on with a nissan cable if it fixes it
I don't understand all you saying don't rev it to much after the rebuilt "bollax", hit the limiter if it's built properly it will be fine, every single engine iv rebuilt iv let it warm ur at a high idle, then given it a good rev, Iain I love your way of running it in, sounds like a true machanic, none of this fannying about, "oh I have to run it in to bed in the pistons" lol.
Top work mate, hope all goes well once it's remapped.

i think it's the rings not the pistons that get bedded in 
hit the limiter unmapped??? nice
and not being funny it's all very well tryna denounce us as not proper mechanics, which im not, but far more experienced machanics than you would say to run it in a bit more gently than cane it from new, as would some say the opposite.
it's probably one of the most contentious points in engine building etc, theres schools of thought for both. I think racing it from the start is pointless personally, but so is doin 3million miles at 2k rpm, then up to 4k rpm etc
a happy medium imo, it's not mapped so theres no advantage in caning atm anyway, so i'd say keep it mixed, some full throttle, gradually build up the revs.
Canin it now, unmapped, will do more to harm it than anything

remind me never to buy a lexus if they need rebuilds often enough for you to be an expert...
We never had to rebuild any untill they brought out the is220, ever since then we have one in every other day, there are 4 techs at lexus and we all have one stripped at the mo, iv just built up mine with a new block and head, I enjoy doing them like, better than doing tyres and servicing all the time
i agree with this^^ and many engine builders do too
not that im any type of expert, but many people ive spoken to/read on the internet say the same thing

engine run in is a throwback to years gone bye, with the materials used in todays engines run in period is all but negligible
well im off tomorrow so gona put some more miles on her fingers crossed.. but i tried to start her last night but wouldnt start.. i think the starter motor is fucked or the batery is falt.. shouldnt be as its new!!
you hear the solenoid click in the motor but it doesnt spin.. nothing just the click of the soleniod.. gona give it a hammering see if she comes unstuck..
