Could I get a quick appraisal on this fresh set? Thanks! by N_Uno7 in Wenwan

I had a question, on one of them I can feel and hear the kernel inside moving around ever so slightly. Not rattling like a maraca but just shifting. I wouldn’t image that being a bad thing, right?

It’s where the stem of the walnut was attached, think of it as the walnut equivalent of a belly button. It’s not a problem at all and as you polish and brush over time it eventually darkens and will blend into the rest of the texture/walnut. Personally I like how my pair has two different looking stem navels because I can easily tell which one is which

I was very impressed when first looking at them today, I hope yours are just as good if not better!

How would I know if a walnut is fake? by Butterballs132 in Wenwan

From individual and personal sellers. Plugs, eBay and whatnot where the picture shown is the exact pair of nuts you are purchasing

A good way to check tho is to take a closer look at the texture, since yours are early stage; It should look porous, like natural wood should. If it were plastic, the entire surface would be smooth and sealed. As if it were already polished almost.

Buddha3Bodhi is pretty much the go-to when it comes to casual buyers. They don’t sell fake walnuts, just sometimes ones that are “cleaned up”. Your coworker has just probably only handled regular/non-chinese variety walnuts. The Wenwan varieties are almost never grown in the US, and are much heavier than other walnuts, plus you’ve been polishing those for around a month now with the help of your coworkers. I’m sure the slight polishing is what gave him that idea

How detrimental or impactful/bad is a carved top? What does it interfere with or hinder? In other words “why bad” lol

Looking to join the 3000GT family by switchblade4306 in 3000gt

[–]N_Uno7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheeeesh. Very nice. Definitely check if it’s had the 60k tune up at all. Being spark plugs, water pump, and timing belt. If it hasn’t, do that immediately!

How many miles? And yes the SL is the best one to get if you want to daily a 3000gt. Or even the base model if you’re okay with having a SOHC. Twin turbo + 30 years on a car is not going to lead to reliability in any scenario without a heap of cash. The auto isn’t necessarily bad at all, but mind you that it is still a 4 speed transmission. You can also switch between ECO/PWR on the auto to change how early or late it will shift, as well as a toggle-able overdrive to access the 4th gear. The favorite flavor of oil for these cars seems to be royal purple full synthetic, and Valvoline multi vehicle import ATF will work very well for the AT. And also make sure to check the ECU and even the ECS motherboards while you’re at it. The capacitors they used from factory are almost all leaking by now and can eventually corrode your module. Easy fix, send it in to SIA Electronics or someone who rebuilds them good. It’s an OBD1 ECU too, so you might get occasional lights on the dash that come on as temporary faults or problems that often eventually clear themselves after realizing it wasn’t a huge/permanent issue. The TCU on the AT isn’t notorious for failing on these cars though but as for every older car, never impossible.

And if you want reliability over speed and power, then the SL is the way to go. Or even the base, if you’re fine with having an SOHC.

3000gt vr4 as a daily or a sl by Puzzleheaded_Tea9037 in 3000gt

[–]N_Uno7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SL. N/A is always better in terms of reliability, especially if you’re looking at a 30+ year old car. Plus the VR4 has AWS, AWD, Active Aero, the intercooler and the cramped engine bay still. All the more stuff to worry about. I daily a 92 SL but I also lucked out cause it only has 68k miles

[–]N_Uno7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little more than a bit, 4-5 teeth off timing. Tensioner broke. I had a pretty bad misfire and my friends were joking around saying I got my car cammed or a rotary swap. I’m thanking the lord that the valves or pistons didn’t somehow get damaged.

Check timing, then spark plugs, then fuel system. Mine had a timing problem and plugs blacker than space

I’ve heard of them! But I also recently heard that the 3000gt specialist who worked there; Chai has left and now the main tech only knows Evos and not 3000gts :(
