Blew my engine!!! 2 laps and it started making a rattling sound, went for one more and it was so down on power and was clunking like anything. Pulled plugs out, cyls 1 and 2 had no compression and oil pressure is at 7bar on idle :) What is odd though is it still idles fine.

Suspected spun bearing and possibly screwed rings and/or pistons

Either way, goin RB25 now, so should be nice :) One day, when i finally get it done...

ahh that sucks, sounded pretty bad when u were putting it back in the garage..

Not sure if u remember me? I was the chick who wandered over to see what was wrong, just as u were getting out after putting it in the garage..

OUCH! Don't be a sheep! go the 30DET! :stupid:

Flick: Yeah, I remember you sayin hi, I thought it was you. I was a little angry at that point... :stupid:

Ash: I have thought long and hard about it, it's just the problem of finding the suitable head... (I'm lazy, I want the R32 one that bolts straight on :P) And I cant wait around for one to pop up as it's my daily driver and I need it back on the street! :)

ye thats true! I definitley wouldn't put the 33 head on the rb30 if it was going in a 32, defintely too much hassle!

25's are a great motor for the 32 especially for drift as simon, lindo etc have shown!

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
