Detonation hurts the big ends as well a the piston itself.

yer detonation did hurt it damaged big ends and scored the crank and block so thats why i want to do it once and do it proply so i got a good strong reliable motor and also the shop is paying for the motor to be rebuilt to stock spec aswell as the machining so i only have to pay the diffence between stck rebuild and the hks opion and there paying labour as the motor is already out and getting rebuilt any way.

just dont no if thats all i need the make it a strong bottom end???? support mods are hks exhust and dump pipe apexi pfc and avcr amd fmic car is a cefiro with drift set-up i live in W.A and havnt got it over here yet

Well if they are paying for the most of it - get the good gear I say. You will end up with something that is more durable, has more hp potential and is worth more $.

There is a large number of threads discussing rebuilds, so best bet is to do a search. If the motor is out of an early R32 make sure you do something about the oil pump drive on the crank. Beyond that, the world is your oyster......

i'd for sure go aftermarket pistons, rods (tho the standard ones will be fine for 350-400rwkw with good rod bolts)

aftermarket oil pump. n1 item is good. as are others. make sure you get oil restrictors in the block and a decnet sump/oil setup.. tomei make alot of good bits for oil etc.

i'd make sure the oil problems are addressed. and that would be my primary concern.

cheers guys does any1 no roughly what a stock rb26 can make in rwhp reliable everyday and also what is the weakest point in the rb26 motor in stock form thanks

Weakest part of RB26DETT is leanout on 5 and 6. Big ends go because of oil problem in sump design. Nothing wrong with the factory oil pump.

Big ends dont go because of an oil problem due to sump design.

If there are 350rwkw+ GTR's running around here in Vic with a stock sump, its definately a case of Myth Busters

Its other problems, and everyone points the finger @ the sump incorrectly

Just to add to the oil discussion, I recommend the oil pump be thoroughly checked and the screws into the back plate then loctited in. It's amazing how many reports I get of the screws going loose. Just how many screws loose does it take before oil pressure is severely reduced? Not sure yet.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
