The engine builder :happy:

It was leaking water into the oil, which was basically due to not having the head and block decked together after it was pulled apart to fix a minor oil leak. Long story short is that the engine was in and out constantly for a year, the warranty work they were doing on it was taking forever and I lost confidence in them so I cut my losses and took it to someone who I knew would have some diligence and take some pride in their work.

Those bearings were in the car for a dyno session and half a lap of Sandown...

That sucks glad to hear it is all coming along nicely this time around. I was pretty nervous building up my SR as it was all very new to me im used to A series datsun engines you cant kill them haha, but my engine builder went through everything with me and so far so good 2 events down.

Machining was done by Blackwell race engines, and a friend of mine and an ex-supercar engine builder are putting it back together for me.

Really disapointing to see what happened with the previous motor and those bearings in particular, not very nice stuff. Good to see things are progressing nicely with the new rebuild and hopefully it will all work out for you.

it looks like they are second hand ones, you don't know anyone with the remote mounts laying around do you?

Nope brand new but the rears bottom mounting and canister are off his sons drift car so he could get mine done in time, even took some money of because of it so im not complaining.

Sorry don't know of anyone with some laying around.

August, doing 6th at Winton on the way up....going to be a busy 4 days working flat knacker to get my car ready. But have to beback in India on 16th so only chance to give the ol girl a punt

Unlikley then mate. I'll probably have the engine back in 2 weeks I'd say, then another week or so to get the nerw turbo kit on and tune and hopefully a run at Sandown in case anything goes pear shaped!

Thought I'd share this.... 3 years in the making and today was its first "successful" road test! (I had a few unsuccessful ones due to fuel system issues).

So here it is! Australia's first legally engineered and registered twin turbo'd VW. The goal is to be quick in the sprint events that I race in. The car hopefully weighs in around the 800kg mark, 1/2 the weight of the R34 which realy struggles around the gocart track I race at.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
