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!

    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto 
    • Please let me know if anyone has seen my black Nissan Skyline 350GT-8 taken from Robe Terrace, Medindie, SA suspect taken between end of March to early April 2025! Have called impound yards & tow truck operators, no where to be found while I was away overseas! Plates DXPRS1 custom dark green on yellow back. Has a rear lip boot spoiler on the back as well.
    • A few interesting adventures it seems...
