OK pps

seems the weapon has developed a rattle coming from pot number 4/5

My mechanic is telling me it's the big ends

The engine is still quite new - only 20,000klms since full rebuild - so what should I do

just replace the big ends (rechecking the crank) - or should a more complete build be considered ?

Also - pointers on what bearings to use this time around - I used Race Pace last time I think ??

Rebuild wasnt done right i would think if thats occured.

Dont turn it over anymore, least damage the better

combination of heat and bad fuel

wife filled car from budget provider - did not tell me until I asked !!!

I had the engine done over 3 years ago no (don't drive it much) - has not missed a beat - until now

Annyyywaaayyy

any advice on what to do ?

I'm very tempted to just replace the bigends and leave it at that - comments ?

Providing you don't run it anymore you should be able to clean the crank up easy enough. You can usually just put new shells in after checking the rods/big end caps too.

I doubt regular fuel killed it, I would say the rebuild was shite to begin with.

WELL, non premium fuel and overheating doesnt root bearings. full stop.

to comfirm this a v8 brute that we worked on had the thermo fan die on the grid. it went out to race with 120 degrees on the water guage. it overheated so bad it warped the heads and the block just over 1mm on the worst part. the head bolts were blue on the areas where the block was. so apart from completly ruining the motor we pulled it down and the bearings were fine!! either its the penrite or something else.

my guess is its a asembly error or a case of oil surge.

oh dear, what a horror story

like dave said, there's gotta be some other type of reason of the failure, i'd be finding the root caus before u put it together again!

and b4 u ask - yes I still want the bonnet :nyaanyaa:

haha ok, like i said in the emails drop by when uve got time mate, it'll be sitting there for awhile lol (just give me a days notice and i'll polish it up for you :happy:)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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.
