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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
