Well.... It's been a busy week, After starting the sump removal process to find oil dripping out the bottom of the gearbox/Clutch cover I decided to pull the motor out and investigate what appears to be the rear main seal leaking.

After the missus telling me to send the motor to somsone who knows what they are doing, I took her up on the offer :( Who could say no to that sort of permission given....

Engine is now on its way to Red R Racing for Paul to have his way with :(

Oh and I found the oil leak, one of the Half Moon Cam Cover seals had fallen/blown out...

Thanks for everyones suggestions, I will take a look at all of them. I'm thinking of also seeing If I can fit the OEM shorud and Fan back on and maybe trim the blades to clear... Just a thought.

sorry for the late reply, here are my results to a 52mm radiator in a rb20 r32. Hope it helps.

R31 House do an aluminium replacement for the rear half moon cam cover seals. Cheap cheap too!

was over at Red R today and had a squizz at your stripped engine, its a bit of a disaster. How the previous machinist chopped up your block was insane. The reliefs cut in the base of the bores with no chamfer has given your piston skirts a hiding and the way the annular groove in the block bearing housing has been done is very messy. From what Paul said it didn't matter how many times this thing was rebuilt, using that block would have quickly destroyed it.

mate looks like a new block, but it appears the crank has survived the carnage and the fella's said it should be ok to use.

i feel your pain as i had a couple of disaster builds before Paul and Terry helped me out. She's in good hands bud.

Yeh, beauty of RB20s are that a different block may be free, or $150 or so. :P

Curious to see how Paul goes with the lil RB24. His experience with head porting and playing with different things makes him the perfect guy for a little project like this. So many people I have spoken to re building a 24 just dismiss it and make me want to do it myself..no love for the project :bunny: But I know i dont have the know how....its good to see builders with an interest and pride in what they are doing, hopefully Camerons thing punches out numbers adn exceeds his expectations

Roy,

Exactly my thinking.... If you have a spare rb20 block let me know...

In a midnight conversation with Paul the other night we are thinking 360 - 400kw with the limitation being the flow in the head, The head is already ported so nothing new will be done to it.

Now all I have to do is wait for ROSS Piston to get back to me about the new piston rings & we can get the ball rolling.

Yes I saw said 9800cc engine Saturday night! whoa.......

Things have been delayed a little as I am currently hiding in the mountains of Queenstown for a week while waiting for Ross Pistons to ship a new set of piston rings anf trying to find a new block!

No car pics to update however these may surfice!

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
