SHOWOFFR32

Oh I see, thanks for the insight mate..

We were thinking the exact same thing, but the only piece of debris in the sump or oil filter or anywhere was one messed up bit of bearing so...? Couldn't tell you to be honest... It's the only thing there.. The stolen rims were stock GTR rims. I should be receiving a set of 18x10.5 +15 TE37 SLs in two or three weeks though haha

Pics... Scoring on the bore. Butchered head where the 10c piece sized bit of bearing bounced around at 8000rpm. #1 Piston top. #1 Piston con rod (bottom of photo) cap is black... Torched haha

Update... Just finished at Knight engines, pulling the engine down and the crank is F#%£ED!!! 1# piston took the brunt of the oil surge and the bearing was completely fried, had a 10c piece sized chunk missing... So from here, a 2.8L crank is being ordered and the precision billet 6765 with T4 divided rear will be ordered also... Kyle from 6boost is doing up one of his twin scroll steam pipe manifold with dual external watsegates to go with this build so it's going to be insane.. Haha Will post pics up tonight... Cheers

Quick update... Just bought a Powertune twin in tank fuel pump, and two walbro pumps rated at 1000hp for the GTR. Want something that's not going to be noisy or smell of fuel, plus hidden from the fuzz haha

Aaahhh.... Keen eye hey haha

Yeah mate you'd be right, I bought this off Wei about 6 months ago... Best thing I ever spent my cash on haha Yeah, I just got off google looking into the 6265 and 6765 comparisons and I think the 6765 is more suited to a 3L... The 6265 is rated at 520kw so we'll see how we go haha

Hey guys, decided that if I stroke the motor I'll use a Spool stroker kit, I'll use the 6765 turbo... If I stay the 2.6L then I'm going to run a PT6265 for a little bit better response and aim for 480awkw... But we'll find out on Saturday when the engine is pulled apart haha

I'd be happy if it gets 500awkw and hits full boost by 6000, my -5's didn't hit full boost till 5000rpm

Hahaha is its going to be off the road for the next three months of so, I'll get it all done when I'm finished with all the engine build All the mods will be engineered..

Couldnt tell you if its the same car as I bought it from a young asian bloke... not a disgruntaled woman haha The car will one be running 400awkw on the street and bumped up to 500awkw for dyno days and events... I'll will deffinatly have talk to Tony about getting a bigger cam to make it more responsive and however he seems to think that with the billet turbo (1.0a/r rear), the 1mm + valves, twin scroll 6boost manifold, twin wastegates and a good tune, it will be not too laggy.. I understand that it's hardly gonna respond like GT-SS's, but we're aiming for the most responsive 450-500awkw that we can. Think of it like a experiment haha

Hey mate, still not 100% sure if I'm going to stroke to 2.8 or stay the 2.6, the crank is being pulled out on saturday and we're going to see if it can be reused after the whole lap of driving I had to do to get it back to the pits on the track. I'd like to stay the 2.6 just to see how responsive I can get it.... Stroking is cheating hahah but I need a new crank shaft then, I'd be stupid not too haha Can't wait to get it finished and get it out and about

Haha really got lucky with her haha

Hey Guys, I though I'd share stage two of my R34 GTR V-Spec build with you guys. But first a little run down. The car is a Bayside Blue '99 R34 GTR V-Spec with 90,000kms on it that I bought off a guy in sydney for an unbelievable price! The reason I got it so cheap was because it had a few small issues; - It had the stock computer however the car was setup for a Apexi FC tune. - Both wheels on the left hand side were gutter rashed. - Tyres were in need of replacing. - And it was soon due for it's 100,000km major service. It did come with some goodies though; - Garrett -5 turbos. - Apexi Pods. - Fujimoto turbo back exhaust. - Zeal Coilovers. - Exedy HD clutch, 1000kms old. - Sweeeet DVD brrroooooooooooo - And was VERY CLEAN So I took it for a test drive (to the bank), handed over my hard earned cash and drove away in my dream car!! The happiest man alive!! The next day I drove it 800km to Brisbane to get all the little issues sorted out straight away. I took it to a very well know and "trusted" workshop who I will not name on here. I sat down and arranged a package with the owner of the workshop to see 300awkw from the GTR and make it realiable and fresh. As I don't live in Brisbane, I paid cash upfront for all the work and the shipping to my door, which the workshop said they can arrange "no worries". The package included; - Full 100,000km major service with timing belt change (all belts replaced with gates and all fluids changed) - Haltech Platinum Pro ECU - Koyorad alloy radiator - Tomei adjustable cam gears - Tomei Pon Cams - Clear cam cover - DBA 2 piece series 5000 front and 4000 rear disks with Project MU pads and braided brake lines (which still to this day I havn't recieved the brake lines) - Magnetic sump plugs for sump, both diffs and gear box (which were never done) - Dyno tune After the car was finished, it sat at the workshop for 7 weeks waiting for someone to drop it at the shipping companys yard which wasn't done untill I called 3 times a day for a week. Needless to say that I will NEVER get any work done by this "workshop" again and will not be recomending there sevices to anyone.. I finally recieved the car and was again the happiest man alive haha and the 306.7awkw that it now had was enough to keep me happy (for now...). Thats where the happiness ends.. I recieved info of a track day held at Hidden Vally and I was keen to give it a flogging on the track so I scamperd around to send off the paperwork as it was the last day before entry closed and soon received a email stating I was locked in. The next weekend I set off to the track and set a time of 1m 24sec around hidden vally which put me at 2nd outright for the day, but on the last lap, of the last session, on the last straight (no I'm not kidding) I lost power and the engine shut down when I flicked it into neutral. I was pissed!! Turns out my oil temp was over 135*C and I spun my bottom end bearings... The dredded RB26 oil surge strikes again!! I then found out that I was moving to Adelaide so I thought I'd leave the car to get fixed down here and you wouldn't read about it, while the car was in a shipping companies "electric fenced" yard, some @#$% broke in and stole my wheels!!!!! Leaving the car just sitting on the rocks!!! After a few heated discusions with the manager of said shipping company, it was agreed to send to car to me in Adelaide with shitty bob jane wheels on it to get fixed with 100% no cost to me.. Which means new wheels, new deffusers, new sills, new nismo skirts and pods and new AD08 semi slick tyres... haha So here we are, I now live in Adelaide and have the car down here with me to get built right this time and to be built well, I didn't trust anyone in Darwin to work on the car. My missus (who is actually a mechanic ) and I have spent the last week pulling the engine out, and today I took it over to Tony at Knight Engines for a full 500awkw engine build with the aim to keep it as responsive as possible.. Specs -Haltech Platinum Pro ECU - Koyorad alloy radiator - Tomei adjustable cam gears - Ferrea Comp Plus +1mm intake and exhaust valves - Ferrea double springs, titanium retainers, spring locators & locks - Kelford high lift 272 cams - Full race port and pollish with matched plenum and customised throttle bodies - Spool rods - Wieseco pistons & rings - Full genuine gasket set - ACL race MLS head gasket - ATI super damper - ARP main & head studs - Tomei oil pump - Crank collar - 7L custom sump, Inc Diff setup - Belt tensioner & idler - Direct head to sump oil drain - Oil gallery restrictors - 1000cc ID injectors - Powertune 1400hp twin in tank fuel system - Precision Billet 6765 CEA turbo - 6boost twin scroll manifold - 2 x 44mm Tail wastegates Should be fun when it's all done.. Thanks, Brad.

Lots of PMs and txt msgs, gotta get in fast!!

Bugger if it was the divided T4 1.0a/r housing I'd send you the cash right now!!

Will do for sure mate, got some TE37 SL 18x10.5 coming from Japan too so should be just the thing to set it off

For Sale... Got a set of -5's that has just come off my GTR, want to go billet single to get some power... Haha Still fairly new, only done about 8000kms and have only seen 1 track day (20 laps of hidden vally before spun bearing ) ... Only seen 200kms of 20psi and 16psi for all the Kms before that. I have the stock manifolds, all the piping, oil/water lines, dumps and fujimoto twin front pipe also.. Have all stock intercooler piping also... Great for anyone who wants to upgrade stock turbos or anyone wanting to change from single back to twins... Looking for $1500 for both turbos or $2200 for the full bolt on kit including intercooler piping.. May swap for single setup... PM me here or txt me anytime on 0408878086 Brad.

$2000 sent to Adelaide.... You said offers..

That was me... It's GTR though hahaha not a GTT Rims got flogged from a shipping company's yard so they put junk ass wheels on and sent it down to me... They dumped it down on rocks so it's at the panel shop getting fixed now Then off to Knight Engines to get a FULL rebuild

Everything your asking for is really up to your mate/you. How much power does he want?? How type of fuel does he want to run?? Is this car going to see track time?? What's the condition of the parts already on the car?? All these questions will either add or subtract parts from a list that could be small or would be quite large. In my opinion, get a oil cooler/relocator kit as one of the first things you should invest in, helps keep temps low and allows easy oil filter changes.. You can never service your car too much (with-in reason). Also, wait until you knows for a fact that it is the turbos that are causing your lack of power, I honestly don't think that the slight wear on the blades would cause a situation like you have at the moment. Maybe the actuator spring is jammed open? Maybe it's a over/under fueling issue? Your best bet would be a dyno run with a tuner who knows RB26s to find the root of the problem.. You don't want to buy up all these parts to find out that there's something wrong in the motor and a full rebuild may just be in order. Owning a GTR is an amazing thing (I personally own a R34 V-Spec) however if your not careful with your mods and think about reliability before power, then your pride and joy may just turn into a nightmare quite quickly... Remember, with a RB26, it's all about oil delivery, control, temp. These are the things you need to be buyig parts for above all others.. For starters. Just my two cents, feels free to PM me if you'd like to ask any questions. Cheers Brad

Looks like it's all coming along well mate, glad to hear someone is going to have a look at your head for you... That would have been a nightmare..
