Just stripped down my motor after the standard oil pump letting go. I think some one has already fitted an R33 crank or its a complete R33 motor as it looks like to me it already has the long nose drive.

But the bad news is the crank is stuffed anyway :) to start off with the front pulley was lose and has damaged the keyway. Also when trying to get the front gear off noticed there to be an awful lot of endfloat from the crank. Pulled the crank out and found the thrust bearing rooted. Not sure if it happed when lost oil pressure or it was alredy worn?? as i had only got down the end of the street before i notice the oil light had come on and i switched it off. Anyway now im after a new crank, doesnt matter if its a 32 crank as i alredy have a proengines crank collar which i bought thinking i had a 32 crank already

sorry about the poor pictures, took them with my phone

are you sure its a long nose? just because the flats that drive it look long it doesn't mean the pump engages on the whole thing.

from the photo even though it was a little fuzzy could make out a kind of blue burn mark on the forward tip of the drive flat which looks like about how far the r32 gtr cranks engage on the oil pump.

it's hard to imagine the long nose drive breaking a pump gear unless something was seriously wrong.

ive seen a very similar problem with a motor. but the oil pump was fine.

debris in the crank oil ways can chop a beasring out in no time. all it takes is a tiny scratch on the thrust bearing. and 500k later new crank needed.

what clutch are you using?

if the pully was loose. and you were giving it some revs. that will destroy the oil pump very quicly. especally if your doing over 7k.

this is a good example of what a "lightweight" crank pully can potentally do.

anyway.....

yeah it looked like the pulley had been lose for some time as there ws lot of rust dust around it when i pulled it off. the crank bolt was tight but the pulley was still flopping round on the crank and the key way pin is half the size it should be.

pretty sure the crank couldnt be repired, there was atleast half a centermeter of endflot in the crank. and somehow i dont think that happened when the pump died because the rest of the bearings were no where near as rooted.

Im using nismo gmax twin plate clutch.

And yeah the revs were up there when it let go, was over 7k

Think im going to invest n a ross tufbond balancer as the keywy in the standrd one isnt much good. The ross ones any good? they seem pretty cheap too.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
