Just what you needed I bet. Good pickup on the dust.

Bearing seizure caused by overtorqueing then?

id put my money on it. Thing is if the rb20 didnt blow, id now have an r32 with an rb20 that ive spent just as much on as i have the rb31det. I awlays intended on upgrades to my skyline...ask Joel :) I was picking his brains just before my 20det blew....:)

I love the 31det and would never go back. Simple as that. Makes power everywhere, and its soo easy to control. No "plant the foot and wait for it"...power is just there when u want it.

As for the interference motor bit....id put all my money to bet that it will happen again with the rb31det if the belt lets go.

could it be that when the belt broke the result was a bent crankshaft sent the valves slightly more southward or the violent shock made the valves open more??? My rb26 is non interface as i have swang the cams around on tdc and nothing hit!!!

Sorry to momentarilly move off topic, but I promised a set of pictures of the R33 mounts and the engine lowering blocks I used. Note that each aluminium mount has had the mounting and locating slots lengthened for positioning on the top of the rubber pad, and the crossmember slot was lengthened from below the pad...Havent dissasembled yet so dont have any actual measurements. The engine/box braces were slightly relieved with an angle grinder to accommodate the power steering lines.

I've been quoted $38 a piston from Jet hot(RB30E forgies) don't forget the valves need to be done to get the full advantage of ceramic coating, SK knows more about this topic.

I rang HPC in brisbane and got a better deal.

It's $198 to ceramic coat the tops and cover the sides of the piston in solid dry film lubricant for a set ($33 a piston).

It's $8.80 for each ceramic coated valve ($211 for one engine)

$3.30 to apply S01 Solid Dry Film Lubricant coating to each valve spring. ($79 for one engine)

seems like cheap insurance to me.

Some trivia about the timing belt Dayco 94407 that most of you guys use.

Did you know this timing belt is also used on factory Audi A4's 1.8L 20V twin cam Quatrro and Turbo 95 onwards(ADP,ADR and AEB engines). Also for the Volkswagon Passat 98 onwards 1.8L 20V twin cam, including turbo (ADR and AEB engines).

It's the same motor in both makes.:cheers:

The forgies finally turned up.

It's an Arias rb30 piston kit, rings,clips and pins included.

It also came with a spec sheet which I scanned and uploaded with the pics.

Stroke 86mm????

Everywhere I have looked it states 85mm. ??

Very nice though.. Thanks for posting. :cheers:

Your right there Joel.

Arias state 86mm stroke and a displacement of 3.035L

In the Factory VL manual it says 85mm stroke and 2.962L

see attached pic.

I'm not too worried about the conflicting specs, measurements will be doubled checked before assembly.

If you look at the gates timing belt catalogue online.

http://www.gates.com/part_locator/index.cf...ocation_id=3002

For those motors/cars 1.8L, it list 3 different belts, all with slightly different amount of teeth.

Cam. Belt; W/152 Tooth Belt

Automotive Timing Belt T291 Interference engine application

Cam. Belt; W/153 Tooth Belt

Automotive Timing Belt T317 Interference engine application

Cam. Belt; W/150 Tooth Belt

Automotive Timing Belt T306 Interference engine application

I wonder if the shorter ones would allow you to use both lower tensioners, surely two teeth shorter wouldn't make alot of difference to the length?

The dayco belt is 152 teeth.

Any idea as to why the same motor would have different lengths belts available?

This guy used a 150teeth belt and could use the lower tensioners

Timing belt details are - Gates POWERGRIP GT2 p/n 1200 8MGT 30

it measures 1200mm long, 8mm pitch on teeth, 150 teeth, and 25mm wide but it was cut down from 30mm in the factory! Cost $80 as it's a heavier belt.  

The problem with that belt is the width and the type of teeth is not 100% correct, but if those Audi's have the correct width and teeth, maybe the shorter belt is better, if its available?

These Audi belts are 22mm wide, whereas the OEM nissan belt is 25mm. Would it be fair to assume it is 12% weaker than the factory nissan belt?

I remember looking into this option, and i think they were either unavailible in OZ or very pricey.

What belt did you use MonstaS4?

The dayco belt 94407?, these are the cars that dayco belt are off?

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
