I may have missed this above, but just a few questions....

What Year is the car?

What crank are you using?

What block are you using?

What brakes are on the car?

Any work done to the Gearbox?

I'm looking for a circuit car, and trying to minimise any additional purchases...

car is 89model, crank is r32 GTR crank with JUN collar and Tomei Oil pump, R32GTR block prepped and blue printed, R32GTR brakes with slotted rotors, R32GTR gearbox,

driving in sydney traffic slowing down for lights was in 3rd gear went to change to 2nd but couldnt, was jammed in 3rd gear, forced it out with a fair bit of effort, drove back to coast from sydney and 3rd gear crunches like no synchros.

drained gear oil and found the 3 little doobies that hold and align the baulk ring, synchro to the gear.

can either drop price and sell car as is or get a 2nd hand box put in...

Dude that is an awesome looking car but i dont think tyre walls would go very well with it.

Just picked up a 2nd hand 32GTR box from a front cut with stock motor, and 53,000ks on it.

will fit it asap so car will be all better.

also getting the rocker covers anodised a nice red this week, should help brighten the looks of the motor.

My mate just bought my stolen wheels without knowing so car will now be sold with 17x9 Sparco light weight wheels freshly painted with Federal tyres.

will post up pics tommorow

WTF? wow whats the chances, can u track the theif or too much hassle?

Tryin to on the sly, but heard he might have good relations with the rebels...

which means i stay away

There seems to be a lot of confusion here, every one is asking me why i needed to put in new bearings.

so here is my answer

i have never killed any bearings, when i first built the engine i didnt know about the common rb26 oil problems. so i pulled the crank out and put on a JUN collar and Tomei oil pump (upgrading from the N1 pump i had on it) fitted an oil restrictor and external oil return, and i thought for the sake of 150 dollars i put some new bearings in. every one has been worried that the engine might have failed. which it hasnt.

Call me if you want to discuss 0414879711

cheers

    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
