here is a TEARDOWN of my motor from a 1985 GSL-SE completely stock which i found out had a screw go through it and did survive. while half of it survived atleast LOL... anyways teardown was performed by myself (im_the_mainevent) Kevin (nismo_convert86) and joe of R.R.M. performance. (R.P.M.).

 

more

 

even more

 

and finally

 

edit: Joe of R.P.M. performance

 

I'll never forget how that looked when I first saw it, we have to take a peek at the cat for the bolt.

 

Thats almost as deadly as my engine. Thats what happens when a bolt goes through it. This is what happens when you run dry of oil.


Anyone else have anything to add, like this is what happens when you overboost?

 

I have /way/ too much evidance of what happens when you overboost.

I can post some pictures but they're pretty gory.

 

how did a screw go through it?

 

The most stupidest design ever!! There are 4 bolts that hold the airbox to the AFM on the GSL-SE's. One of the bolts must have been loose and it got sucked up the intake

 

Ah come on, it's still good! Little bit of JB-Weld and some sanding....

Nice...You can make a lamp out of the spare parts, or get some exercise with a set of rotor dumbells...

 

Your car is the same color as mine. I had a similiar experience.
