Hi after buying a Freshly rebuilt R32 GTR about six months ago i had an unfortunate thing happen to me when the oil pump failed after 800kms of driving which i was shattered about,

But finally this week my car will be ready to pick up. Its been a long six months for me but at least i have had the GTST and 180sx to keep me happy while its been away but none of them give me the feeling the R does.

I have fully rebuilt it again my mods include:

40 thou over CP Forged pistons

Rev Con Rods

ARP Stud Bolts

Linished and Balanced crank etc.

Race Bearings

N1 oil Pump

Jun Crank Collar

Tomei Sump Baffle

Tomei Oil Restrictor

External Oil Return mod from Head to Sump

R33 GTR N1 Turbos

ARC Radiator Guide

Os Giken cam Gears

Hks Dumpipes

4inch turbo back exhaust

Magic Cat

Denso 650cc Injectors (Not intalled Yet)

Bosch 044 Fuel Pump

Apexi Power Fc

Torque Split Controller

Blitz DSBC Id3 boost Controller

Greddy Oil Catch Can (Not Installed Yet)

Thats all i can think of at the moment but i know there is more.

I have a few questions for people that have been in the same boat than me..

Is there anything else that i should do when to it when i get it back this weekend?

And how long do i have to run it in for?

Does Anyone know if these Denso 650cc injectors are direct fit? if not are they going to be difficult to install?

What oil should i be using to run it in?

Thinking about going to racepace to get tuned since i have never heard a bad thing about racepace, How much do you think it will cost to get tuned?

Since the standard oil pump failed before now i am paranoid about reving it thats why i wanted to try and sort out all the bad oil problems that the GTR has. Is there anything else you would do to it to keep it reliable and keep it from happening again? or any advice?

Heres some pictures of my Engine Bay if anyone is interested...

thanks for all your help and look foward to seeing everyone at the next SAU event as im looking to use this car for track and street. Once again thanks everone

Exciting!

There's mixed stories about running cars in.. Most people say just baby it ( under 3k rpm for 1,000km) but, I've also read another article on how you should drive it as normal, boosting it etc because, it runs the rings or something something in I have no idea what I'm talking about and I've lost the article..

But the main point is that the article insisted on driving it as normal.

Yeah i think i will drive it normally and just not try to rev it to much and see how that goes, The only thing that annoys me are the r33 N1 turbos that will be restricting me!! I bought them when i first got the car and now they will be holding me back but im hoping to make close to 300rwkw on them i think a few other members have. So contemplating taking them off and putting some bigger ones on. But i havent driven it with them so i will have to wait and see.

looks the goods buddy, i no how excited u must be feeln.

although i havnt waited as much as u i 2 will be gettn my car back after a good 3-4 months.

it makes all that time waiting worth it sometime....haha

wat sorta power figur u expectn?

was the failed oil pump a n1 oil pump aswell?!?!? thought they were good for the rb26 rev limit, otherwise ur next step up is a JUN oil pump($2000+)

racepace is defiently a good decision buddy, the guys a god wen it comes to RB26s. give a call, although he does charge a premium price, his advice is golden.

Edited by R34NRG

The Oil pump that failed was standard so since i needed a new one thought i would get an N1 pump and yes i fitted a Jun crank collar. While the crank was out i wasn't going to take any shortcuts.

My mechanic said dont worry about the Head to Sump Return but i said for my own piece of mind i would like to do it, So i hassled him and we did it.

Yeah im flipping up between racepace and RE customs just trying to run the engine in ATM then i will have to get it booked it somewhere and fit the injectors at the same time. My only problem is i dont have a hand controller on the power fc to adjust the fuel settings when i fit them so trying to figure out some way around it.

I'm hoping for 300rwkw with these Turbos but already planning to change them by the end of the year and pump out alot more but for now i should be happy.

make sure you let us all know how the tune goes, i am looking at a car that has these turbos and i wold be interested to see what they make! The car i am looking at only runs 12psi and is making a bit over 230awkw...thats nice but i want to know what will happen at 18 - 20 psi

Yeah im interested myself i beleive a few people have made between 280rwkw - 300rwkw. So i will let you know shouldnt be to long. I so wish they were r34 N1's so i could make that bit more power.

Scotty,

The Bay looks the goods bud. Clear Cam cover does look gd. I will get around to doing mine. But who knows, we have to get some pics done together. Black & blue will look great at dusk. :laugh:

Cheers justin i will have to come past your work one day soon, and we will go for a cruise.

clear cam covers a must, looks alot better than before.

Thanks everyone for your kind replys.

man that looks sweet! when will it all be ready by?

Car is back now so im just going to fit a couple more parts run it in and get it tuned, Then take it to the drags and see how it goes.

Then probably start looking for a different turbo setup still undecided whether to get some twin garrett 2860-5's or a Single T04Z!!

Decisions Decisions....

I would probably prefer to keep the twin setup so i dont get hassled by the police to much.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
