hahaha obviously becuase you are intending to catch up with me in the blown engine race :(

kennards have made a business out of hiring stuff for half the price of buying one outright....then it plays with your mind....would I ever need this again or will it just take up space in the shed.....

ummm i dont think i wanna get near you duncan..

havent blown up and engine yet, and dont want to..

i just pull motors out of cars for fun.. :huh:

currently converting lancer to manual cos auto is soooo annoying lol

but yeah, it can be used for heaps of stuff really... not just engines.

Did your dodgy engine-in 'rebuild' go sour? Or did you come to your senses and decide to remove it and do things properly?

it wasnt dodgy you moron. just because i dont need to take a motor out to fix it, it doesnt mean it was a dodgy build.

the problem ended out being the gtr rods i bought werent standard size (big end dia.). that was the only reason it didnt go together properly. so how about you keep little comments like that to yourself till you know what actually happened.. mmk pumpkin.

You tell him .....

Ah well we all learn by our mistakes.

Good luck with it this time, if i was you i'll check the crank for runout as well.

crank is going to have everything done to it, including balancing. the heads going in for a service too.

Good to see you are not taking any risks this time around, make sure your crank guy is someone you can trust to do the job right ( a lot dont ), i always check it myself when i get it back .

Bearing clearances are very important too, make sure you check or have someone check them for you .

Dont rush things , take your time assembling and checking more than once and you will be right this time .

Are you reboring the block ? If i was you i would ..

  • 4 weeks later...

nah i didnt do a re-bore. clearances were fine with the hone and i got good pre-run in compression when i had it on the road before it stuffed up again.

crank and bearings are coming in on monday so it should all be back together before the next weekend (fingers crossed).

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
