an RB26 is just a motor- if it has been poorly serviced during it's life (and that could be a loooong life if ur talking about a 32), it will do a bottom end bearing as easily as any engine where the owner didn't give a shit about changing the oil regularly. even standard

big turb, more fuel?: yes- due to lower efficiency at low revs (where most street engines spend most of their time), and usually combined with lowered comp ratios on rebuilt engines AND bigger injectors (which give much poorer fuel atomisation); which automatically means worse economy.

People forget how advanced this motor was for its time.......

They also forget how advanced a GTR was for its time.....

Not many people do the right thing when it comes to maintenance...even changing oil.

Not many tuners will advice that they should maybe think of rebuilding the motors....

Not many who blow there motors have a rev limiter or correctly functioning parts ..ie fuel pump...oil pump

and sometimes water pump.

So...the answer to your question...

Poor maintenance..poor set up..(on a 15 year old engine)..without much knowledge on the engines condition

and its previous use can cause lots of engine failures.

You say your friend has done 3 motors....

How does he drive?

How high does he rev the motor?

Has the car got a after market computer?

How often does he change the oil?

Please outline yourself before saying these sort of things.

I know of one such case......

Every time a second hand motor was ordered.

The HKS cams came off the old motor

The Turbo's N1 Group A were taken off the old motor.

Then put back with a stock computer.

Hi revs..with Cams that only work on a after market computer caused all failures.

There was no rev limiter inplace...so regularly it would rev to 9K

I have a GTR33 96....the first things I did was to change oil pump..,water pump, fuel pump and timing belt.

I never revved it high until I had a Powerfc..tune and correct boost controller inplace.

High revs without quick engine oil changes(filling to 1 litre over mark) can damage cranks.

Especially stock cranks.

People forget how advanced this motor was for its time.......

the only advanced thing about RB26's in 1989 was the ignition system (optical crank-angle sensors, sequential injectors, and coil-on-plug ignition was well ahead of a lot of cars in the late 80's). but the Z32 300ZX copped just as good anyway, as well as other Nissan engines

the engine design/mechanicals, and non-sequential turbo set-up, on the other hand, was very much straight down the line

okay- i'll pay the ceramic 'turbs (even though they are only good for standard, non-race cars), but exotics had multi-throttle set-ups long before that: 6 dual down-draught carbies on Ferrari or Lambo V12s, anyone?

dear 700hp-gtr33 thank you so much for what you sayd

and really i think thats the damage came frome his carles

espiceally on oil change but the bworest thing that he was

using after market ecu and rev high with standard motor and oil pumps

i really thank you cause i am going to get one rb26dett engine

i love it too much but the people here make me worry but am

verry carre man i take car of any thing in my cars

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
