What are you guys a gang or something ??? Proud to say I ain't part of no crew, just a 65 year old and me. Catcha first meet and have a happy new year everyone !

GTR and budget in the same sentence, good on ya ozzie. Then what - 10.9s or so, what then you'll need to jump in the deep end like me to go significantly faster and reliably. Your stock bottom end ain't gonna last forever, (or your box). What times it on tommorrow ? I might think about trying to get the R33 down 11.5 or better. Give me a ring tomorrow gaylord, I'm going to the cas now to try and win some R32 funds !

Pretty quiet in here, has every ones cars died ? The blue R32 is still a few weeks off dammit! The new bottom end build has turned into complete new long motor build including nitto oil pump, trust sump, $1700 tomei valve springs, new valves, custom head oil drain setup and T51 turbo rebuild. Just the cams will be left from the old engine. What a head fcuk !

Os Giken Cross Gear Set
BK replied to LedZepLen's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
I have both Trust dog and 2 os giken boxes. Both are excellent, but trust dog is a pain in slow street traffic. I had an OS box behind my R32 until I spun a big end bearing recently at 9300 and 550kw at wheels, so I am putting the dog box back in with new motor. I couldn't change gears at 9000 on the strip being a synchro box. If your dragging with serious power a dog box is the only option I'm afraid. I will have an OS for sale soon though as I'm going back to a stock rebuilt box in my 330kw R33 which is running my other OS box. I don't think at that power I need an OS box in it. I'll be keeping one spare though just in case I stop dragging the R32 and want to drive in the street. I run stock 5th's in both OS boxes too as I think the OS 5th's are too short for a street car. -
Do People Really Pay Big Bux For Number Plates?
BK replied to Bakes's topic in General Automotive Discussion
These plate prices are retarded, although I managed to get the one I want. V-SPEC. How much would I get for that to sell ? -
Full stick you have a PM

Nothing wrong with the single hole Sard (Denso) injectors as their spray pattern is really good. I use 700cc ones in my R33 GTR equipped with HKS GT-SS turbos. It makes 330kw at 1.3 bar boost, injectors are at around 65 - 70% duty cycle. My R32 makes 560kw at wheels with the 1000cc single hole injectors at around 70% duty also. I was running 660cc injectors and made 450kw at wheels on 99%. So 600 - 700cc will definitely be fine for you. I'm selling the 660cc ones at the moment for a good price and will fit your application well - no modifications.

I had similar problem with hks gt-ss turbos not boosting up, no matter how much I tried winding into them. Same thing with disconnecting actuator lines. Turned out to be collapsed cat converter - the more the car revved, the more backpressure was created so no extra boost. Drop the exhaust at y pipe and see what happens before you go any further. It's turned me off running cats ever again after that.

Motor is apart totally. Whoever at Jakes performance let this engine go out like this is a bloody dropkick. Rings have bugger all tension (which would explain the engine breathing) and stock nissan main and big end bearings which have copped a hiding. Number 2 conrod bearing let go with number 3 on its way out. Conrod cap 4 and 5 were swapped around and get this, my engine mount bottom nuts were both gone ! Engine was just literally sitting in the car ! Bearing failure was not from oil supply issues at all, as they were not welded to the crank or conrod like Fabs. The car has just been absoluely hammered at a very high rpm for way too long before I bought it. Still going to address oil issues though, cause I ain't doing another rebuild on this car. Not in any hurry to get it back out drag racing, definitely be next year for the R32. I'll race the last night round in the v spec.

Wouldn't you have already had a good manifold to mount a Trust T67 ? Was yours cracked ? GTR engine and driveline is fully removed from blue car. Finished it about 2hours ago. New bottom end is assembled and sent. Anyone says they can remove an RB26 and transmission from a GTR in 2 - 4 hours as I've heard so much people talk shit about before I'll give em a grand to watch it happen. The GTR must be the worst car in history to work on for rebuilds, give me a RWD car anyday. The engines themselves are great though. I picked up Fabs gearbox to my chest on Friday by myself, try doing that with a GTR box and you'll be walking no more.

You're right Kurt as at 7k rpm and above there is no oil left in the sump on a RB26, it's all in the head. So $11000 and counting with the new build for the engine. Just got back from the rock, gotta pay for this new bottom end. Xspeed have machined and assembled the brand new 34 block, 33 GTR crank and 86.5mm CP pistons/rings and crower 74mm rods. All brand spankers so I'll have to run in a new engine from scratch. New kings bearings have gone in and most importantly, a TOMEI 1.5mm HEAD RESTRICTOR for the bloody oil issues. Have a Trust sump in the works too, which should cure the 9k + rpm limit. Will be boxed up on Monday so I sould see my brand new bottom end maybe next week. Still gotta pull the engine out still, which is a major mission on a GTR at nearly 400kg with transmission. I can't see this car being done for a couple of months though. HKS turbo is leaking on compressor side so that'll have to get serviced/resealed on the housing. Oscar I'll see you some time on the weekend OK

R33 Gtr Gearbox With R32 Gtr Transfer?
BK replied to TommO's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
They are not identical. They will do the 4WD/shaft side of things no worries but no speedo readout. I have both cars and they are the same EXCEPT for the internal speedo drive gears and sensor. You can use a R32 in a R33 if you don't care about your speedo not working and vice versa. R32 is mechanical, R33 is electronic. Different size gears on pickups and internal case gears too so you can just swap pickup sensors either. You need R33 transfer in a 33 and an R32 in a 32 for speedo to work. Found out the hard way with this trying to fit a R32 transfer to my 33. -
Gonna be a major teardown of R32. Next time Oscar, it's not a good idea to laugh when a $15000 bottom end lets go mate, not everything is a joke. Engine failure is serious stuff. Let's just say you've been very fortunate with your car. Looks like nothing to do with tune, just oil supply starvation from launching at 9200 with a stock sump. This bottom end is all going in the bin probably, I'm not just gonna chuck some bearings in and "she'll be right". Fab take note and be very careful what you choose to do to repair your 26. Just finished discussions with the old man on which path to go down - HKS 2.8, OS 3L or keep a 2.7L capacity. 3L option is too much at $29k, HKS 2.8 is tempting for 800ps stage 2 but too much for stage 3 1200ps option right now, so it'll be a 2.7L capacity again. On order first thing tomorrow is Trust sump extension, 86.5mm CP pistons/rings, crower rods, R33 GTR crank and R34 GTR block - all brand new from Perth where machining for block and balancing of crank will be done. Trust Dog box is going back in too. Don't worry, I'll be back stronger than ever.

Like I said, good luck mate.

Before another reply comes in I wish you the best with whatever you do with your car mate. I hope you can get it sorted.
