A bearing letting go because of too much timing? Hrm...

Whats the power goal?

Whats the use of the car?

What current mods do you have?

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.

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.

[R31Nismoid]

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

[Guest Mashrock]

i like myth busters.

[markimak]

so what is the real problem with the oil? pump, sump or something else?

i aint got time to do it, i think its the 2nd or 3rd page. Im sure you can find it.

Its a long thread

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.

now there you go....I've heard of a number with loose screws but none with a spinning drive

the thread i was talking about is in Geoff's sig
